I like it. My only concern and may be misplaced, is the mag release. I would think this 19/23 sized frame will be used more for concealed carry than the full sized LW frame.
Because of that I worry about the mag release being accidentally pushed while being concealed. It does stick out a bit, to aid in it's use, but there is nothing to prevent accidental contact. A small contoured ledge could aid in preventing or minimizing accidental activation.

Just my observation and by no means does it deter me from picking one as soon as you announce them. I will be using mine as a duty and off duty weapon, so it will be exposed to outside carry as well as concealed.

So, JR, want my CC# now..... TXPO

Excellent! Looking forward to getting one.

I have a full frame Timberwolf and I don't think the mag release sticks out a whole lot further than a Glock. What make the Timberwolf mag release nice is how it extends back further. Therefore making easier to manipulate without adjusting grip.
My main concern with the Timberwolf frame mag release would be the pressure it take to release the mag. My proto was way to soft. I believe they have made changes to the design to stiffen it up though.

[JR]

The original TimberWolf 17 frame had a few isolated complaints regarding inadvertent mag release. This issue was resolved by moving the mag spring retention hole off center creating more tension on the MR. The new release TimberWolf 19 frame has this feature incorporated into it already.
I highly recommend you try the MR as issued, I am sure you will be pleased. If anybody was still apprehensive regarding this issue we have a modified MR available via special request.

I would second this- I really like the TW's mag release. As WDN says, it doesn't stick out too far, it just extends further rearward. It's like Gen4, but looks classier & feels better than the big rectangle. I have #AAA3xx, and don't have any issues with premature ejection...

My only concern is that not all drop-free mags drop free, at least in .40. According to JR, it has been observed that the 3rd gen mags perform best in this regard, so I'll have to dig through my mag box and try some Gen3 mags to pair with it, I guess.

I'm curious if this is going to be rectified in the compact & large caliber TW frames?

Thanks!

No worries, I am getting one. I was simply going off the images of the frame. As soon as the prototypes are available I will be ordering on. I have a 19 slide waiting on it.. TXPO

[Robs_G23]

Still patiently waiting. Any further news?

[LoneWolfMarketing]

We are making tweaks to the first run of prototypes and will have some updated proto's here in a few weeks or so.

[TexasPOff]

Any current updates JR. Luke is getting tired of me pestering him about when the prototypes are gonna be available... TXPO

[ShagZ]

Looking forward to this. Thank you

[LWD Armorer]

JR returns tomorrow or Wed, I have a new sample I am QC'ing now. Should have an update for you guys soon. Sorry about the wait.

[achall29]

They released the full size frame a while back. The current interest is for the pending compact frames.

Then we'll all be itching for the large frame guns.

LWD has been, and continues to deliver the Full Size TimberWolf Frame models 17,22,24,31,34,35. See them here http://www.lonewolfdist.com/Products.aspx?CAT=3168

The TimberWolf Compact Frame is slated for production now. I planed to make a very special offer to GT members who follow this thread. An offer similar to the original deal we had with the Full size. You know, pick it up at a super discounted price, run it, post your findings.
The difference this time is that the Compact frame is actually perfect. We have plenty of running samples in hand now. Everybody here loves them! This initial run does not deserve to be labeled a prototype but.......
Keeping with tradition I plan to produce a limited run of 250 pcs. I will serial number them PROTO-xxx so they will clearly qualify as collectors. I will offer a deep discount to GT members for their participation in this project.

I plan to make an official announcement the week of the 20th.

If it'll run on a Gen3 Glock 32, I'll take the first one.

[Bullman]

Great! My 23 first generation frame has been showing some wear, so this is a good time to get a new frame for it. Plus then I can use the old frame as a dedicated lower to a CCU

Looking forward to picking one up. and getting a frame for my 20 sometime in the near future.

[jpprescott]

I would be VERY interested in one of the 19 prototypes frames!!
