Micah Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Well, with the addition of my new job, and racerba trading me my G17 slide for his G22 slide, I will be ordering one of these frames in the next few days while they are still $299. If it works out, I'll tell you all about it. If it bombs, I'll tell you all about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micah Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I just got off the phone with Ellen from CCF, and my stainless frame should be at my ffl's door in 2 days...I'm rather stoked about this project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric nielsen Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Just got my tracking email from UPS - 2 days for me as well. I was kinda hoping it would be Monday so I could avoid the temptation to mess with the new toy until I'm done shooting Open classifiers this Sunday... I promise not to paint mine blue, but, I do have about 9' of 3M Pool & Patio tape left. Those 5-yard rolls last a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 You know, they make medication to fix that Chris. This will be my setup once the pieces come together: -CCF Stainless frame -Glock 22 slide -Stock barrel -My extra RS trigger bar with the Vanek 3.5# connector and safety plunger -My personal work on the striker and cruciform -Heinie rear and Dawson optic front sights (same as my Prod gun) -Stock extended mag release and no magwell -TruGrip I think that one blue gun will be enough (for now ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwmiket Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Get an aftermarket barrel. Storm Lake or KKM. You'll thank me later. TRUST me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 .... add another $4 and you could have a *real* metal frame gun. (who said that ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolduckboy Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) hahha your too funny chris. I think that will be a great set-up. Pharaoh Please keep us update. Edited July 24, 2007 by Coolduckboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I don't mean to sound condescending, but a few years ago I spent almost $2000 to build an open Glock, and could have bought myself a very nice used 2011.

swattdoc Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I have serial # 500 stainless frame. Shooting with 35 slide. Barrel lockup is perfect. Huge difference when compared to stock. 50 yd groups much tighter for me. Weight difference really helps to dampen major 40 loads. Using a speedsec holster with good results. My kydex holsters don't seem to fit just right. Tough to get them out on the draw. I think the trigger guard difference is what is causing the problem. Highly recommeded. The shock buf that comes with the frame is shredding in no time. I already gone through one with about 300 - 400 rounds. glad I bought extra. tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolduckboy Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 (edited) Do you think that Stainless frame would work on a New Ghost Holster? Also, I can't use the stainless from for a G35? I really want the extra weight and Brownells is all out of aluminum frames. Edited July 25, 2007 by Coolduckboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glock doesn't recommend disassembling your slide or frame (cyoa!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolduckboy Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 hahah probably not but I am certified to do so, since it is my gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric nielsen Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) Weighs 43oz with no mag: about 2oz less than my Open STI/Aimpoint gun. Probably won't shoot it till next week. Bottom of the grip could be narrowed to fit an aftermarket magwell - I'll wait & see what CCF offers, be nice if it attaches to the grip insert. Trigger action feels totally different - straight back, no flex, no monkey business. 100x better than stock. More like the SA trigger of a CZ or Sig. Love the beavertail, pretty much zero chance of cutting your thumb on the slide. Front rail looks totally Mall Ninja now: Edited July 27, 2007 by eric nielsen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric nielsen Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) The grip is better without the grooves. I'll probably dish out the left side a little bit where my 3 fingertips go - enough to make it round & smooth. Same thing I did to my sti. Found the Krebs magwell that DP40 wouldn't take for free [says i stole it from... never mind] - like that it weighs 46oz, guess it's made of steel. Actually fits pretty well, except a mag will still slam into the back of the factory bevel. Looks cool though.

Joe D Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I talked with IDPA today. The frame is legal for ESP as long as you use a G34/35 length slide. Is not legal with a G17/22 slide. My concern is whether or not it will make weight with a G35 top end. 43 oz. without mag will not. Eric are you certain about the weight? If so then a G34 top end might work. I have a certified scale that I will weigh the two top ends with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 If the Glock website is correct there is 1.6 oz difference in the G35 and G34. Not sure what a Glock mag weighs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glockster35 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Looks damn good to me. I see Brownells is sold all out of the Aluminum already! You guys saved me from buying one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric nielsen Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) Yes - right on 43oz. With a stock 15-rd mag it weighs just under 46. That's with the stock plastic captured recoil spring too. The G34 slide is lighter, might save a fraction with smaller sights. I think you could easily take several ounces out of the frame by drilling/milling big round holes in the frame, like a Para or old Caspian hicap frame. For uspsa i'd like to try that plus some way to put a steel or tungsten rod up front, to shift the balance forward a tiny bit. Right now it sits on your support-hand index finger with no mag, sits on your strong-hand middle finger with a full mag. Like to find a secure way to put a plastic rear on a metal guide rod, to avoid the damage CCF warns about. Until then I'll use stock. They told me the gun comes with pins so I didn't order a spare for the rear [ejector housing] pin, which is not included. So my plastic frame will have some jury-rigged pin in it for a while. There's a little problem with trigger reset [easily cured] due to the longer rear frame rails. Depending on your trigger bar, you might never see it. Red Sharpie shows where the crook in the trigger bar makes contact with a corner of the frame. Once I'm sure I like the gun, I'll round that corner off & polish it: Last photo shows the triggers in reset position. Even though the plastic frame also touches the bar prior to reset, it was never a problem. Metal-on-metal = problem. Drop of oil has it going for now. CCF really needs to fix this before they sell these to a lot of cops. Edited July 27, 2007 by eric nielsen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
