I want the frame, not a completed gun. I have the uppers.shotgunshooter3 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 5:52 pmhttps://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm ... ory_ID=133DanielChamberlain wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2023 10:39 pm 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...
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.DanielChamberlain wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2023 10:39 pm 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...
