No good news yet but we should have something very soon.

Hey JR,

Please sign me up for the frame testing. I have four hundred rounds ready and more on the way.

Best regards,

Fred

Guys, on the below pic, does it look the the beveled nose on the LW slide doesn't match up with the new LW squared frame (2 toned example, not the long slide)? Seems a shame if this is what winds up in full production for the frame without a beveled option...

JR · 08-16-2009, 14:48

Old pic.... issue resolved awhile ago

quirartefamily1 · 09-01-2009, 14:13

JR any word on the frames?

Beware Owner · 09-01-2009, 14:26

Hey, I would like to know, from looking at that pic, would we have to change the spring rod when adding a comp to the gun?

True Punisher · 09-02-2009, 04:48

By the looks of the pictures, is it safe to assume that you will NOT be making a backstrap that will make the grip the same size as the current Glock frame? Pictures look like a "small" or "medium" type back strap.

I don't mind the normal Glock size and I would like to install a magwel, but if the grip size is not the same (or can be made the same) as a Glock frame I don't think any magwel would fit... that would force me back to buying a stock Glock and working from there to build a competition pistol.

Sorry if this has been talked about before.

“spring rod”… Do you mean guide rod and recoil spring?
It depends on the caliber and the ammo you are going to run through the comp. If you are going to use weaker ammo, you will need a lighter recoil spring.

Yeah, that.

.357 Sig and .45 ACP. I read somewhere that you'd have to use a metal guide rod, any truth to this? And, no, if I'm using a comp, it's not because I'm going to push weaker ammo through it...

A metal guide rod is not required, it makes it easier if you want to change spring weight but you do not need to have one when using our comps.

still waiting patiently to buy. I bought another g22 so I have a top end ready to rock

quirartefamily1 · 09-05-2009, 18:07

Dan do you have any update on the frame release date....

spookshack · 09-23-2009, 22:07

Still waiting.

JR · 09-25-2009, 21:47

No news on the latest samples.... sorry. We are patiently waiting

bikerdog · 09-26-2009, 13:12

JR when these frames are ready for sale, will you guys be offering any discounts on the uppers if they are bought together ?

JR · 09-26-2009, 17:02

No I don't think we are going to have any room on that one, sorry.

The truth is that building yourself a custom Glock will add up to about double what the factory Glock comes up to.

G36's Rule · 09-27-2009, 17:07

I want one of these specifically for the beavertail feature. Is that still in the design?

JR · 09-28-2009, 12:14

Yes the beavertail is built in

JPMuscle · 09-29-2009, 05:47

Im still looking forward to just owning one of the first 100

itgeek9999 · 09-29-2009, 22:08

JR,

Do you think it will be available in October or November?
I want one or two bad.
Thanks!

JR,

New here. Just completed reading the entire 15 page thread. I'm a new Glock 22 owner that hates the stock finger groves on the OEM grip! Ha! It seems your finger groves are a bit less pronounced so, I'm very interested in this new LWD lower. On a personal note, I just wanted to say that I admire how calmly you responded to some of the less than *positive* post, comments, and or seemingly snap / judgmental critiques. Looking forward to seeing hearing the update on this product.

JR · 09-30-2009, 11:21

They were supposed to be available right after SHOT (Jan '09). We have been working on a few minor issues and hope to have them resolved very soon

crosse · 10-02-2009, 19:47

for the competitive shooters out there, does anyone know if these frames will qualify as a Stock service pistol in IDPA since they are...not a modification but a factory design?

Once we get on our feet we will contract to have 2 thousand built. This will qualify the gun to run legal in the SSP (IDPA) and production (USPSA) categories.

We have several well known builders and shooters that provided a lot of input regarding this frame. Believe me when I tell you, every one of them signed off on the finger grips. They are a non issue even to guys that do not want them.

If we are able to work it out I will be sure to take every part that is currently listed as "illegal" and incorporate them into our design. Light weight strikers, stainless guide rods, fiber optic sights, front serrations, magwells, whatever they call illegal I want it on the gun!

The 19/23 will follow right after the release of the Timber Wolf in April. I figure this compact frame should be available by Winter, just in time for Christmas

Bump!
