Cheap way to build a Not-A-Glock

This is a smoking deal. Add a PSA Dagger top end for $199, and you have a cheap beater gun that used easy to find mags and holsters

I'm probably the only person in the world who would like to see someone build a polymer frame that one could put on a 1911...

That frame is better than a Glock in the grippy department. I love mine.

You can afford to buy 2 RRA’s at $1475.00 each, dang, that’s expensive

I want the frame, not a completed gun. I have the uppers.

The Staccato and Prodigy are basically cutting the grip and triggerguard off the frame right below the top grip screw hole and bolting on their plastic lowers. Gets rid of the screw/escutcheon arrangement of the original while adding a fairly beefy screw and anchor nut where the top grip screw would be, and an annoyingly small pair of Allen screws into an insert bushing at the front of the triggerguard. Gets rid of the staked plunger tube in favor of an integral. I imagine the same could be done for a single stack for a reduction in overall girth of the grip.

Glocks that aren't Glocks. . .1911's that aren't 1911's. . .How did Bill Murray put it? "Human sacrifice! Cats and dogs living together! Mass hysteria!" :lol:

Find me a RRA 1911 for $750 and you have my attention.

I meant to say they were $1475 each, you can afford to buy 2, tongue in cheek
