Which Frame ?


Service Desk

Recommended Posts

I am going to get a new single stack built.... but would really prefer it to have a grip feel like my STI hi-cap frames.

The Colt and SA 1911's feel more rounded and not as square as the STI - but I like the squareness, it just seems to fit my hand best.

Do the new Caspian single stack frames feel like the older square front frames ?? I am open to any helpful suggestions.

Dosn't STI have a setup that uses their (fat) grip, with single-stack mags ? (That may not be Single Stack division legal?)

Correct you are (and I happen to have one for sale for $95 if anyone needs it - sorry about the forum transgression). Its a regular STI black gripframe that STI adds two spacers to and permanently pins them in place. Result is a SS frame that is the same dimensions as a normal STI gripframe.

That got me wondering if they were legal for the USPSA Single Stack division (provisional)...:

Oringinal rule

Frames shall be of steel or other metallic alloy, plastic frames are not allowed.

December update

19. Frames shall be metal.

Well... that begs the question, what is a frame? S_I makes a metal frame without a grip. Its still a frame and its all metal.

well the plastig grips are advetised as "frames" I think the rule was written specifically to exclude STI/SVI style guns. You might try a caspian widebody, or an Armscore or Para ordnance frame.

Hey Carlos - got any happy snaps of that grip frame ?? Does it come complete with the mag release and trigger ??
