rmills Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Does anyone here own an STI Rangemaster II? I'm curious as to the frame. Is it as wide as the slide? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougCarden Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 If it is similar to the ones I handled at Area III and the Nats, it is a single stack frame with a 6in slide......Hope that helps, DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 STI's site says it has a "5" Classic Flat Top" slide. Looks like the TargetMaster is the 6in. They don't give measurements, but they have some pictures that might allow for good eye-balling: http://www.stiguns.com/guns/RangemasterII/RangeMasterII.html The text says "built on our Master Series frame..." I would guess it is the same frame as the RangeMaster (I), just with the dustcover cut to the standard length? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeFoley Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 The one at Nats was a 5" and it was awesome. I did not notice the width of the slide or frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus The Bum Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 From the pics, it appears that it is a standard (non-wide) frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmills Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 In speaking with STI today, I learned that the "Master Series" frame is actually wider than the Trojan frame but not quite as wide as the slide. The grip width remains the same as a standard 1911. The additional width is from the trigger guard out to the muzzle. If only a fixed sight version was available......sigh.........

chuckbradley Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Just pulled the new one I have in stock out of the safe. The frame is not as wide as the frame. In fact if it is wider than a normal 1911 it isnt much. They also sell the rangemaster frame by itself. But you would have to cut it back to std length. I am thinking about using this frame to build a new 1911 in 45 for the single stack division. It has to be cut back to std length to be legal in it though. I might just shoot the Rangemaster II and be done with it.

Flexmoney Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Chuck, I take it the frame isn't so different that it won't fit into existing 1911 holsters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmills Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 I'm going to check my Blade-Tech 1911 holster to see if the square trigger guard will be a problem. Not too worried about the frame width for the holster as a good heat gun will remedy the problem. Chuck: Do you have a Rangemaster II, .40S&W in stock?
