relocation of the grip bushing will be required and maybe some extension to the mainspring housing slot as well as relocation of the mainspring housing pin.
Frames for STI or Caspian would where I would look as the would keep from welding 2 plates into the grip area.
i have a frame that could be cut down and wont do business with caspian again.
From what I can tell, nighthawk and ed brown get at the least their railed frames from caspian.
That said, off the top of my head here:
- Adding material to a frame like that is probably going to cost more money than getting a new frame completely, just in the labor/intellectual capital (smithing) required to do it? (Unless you "know a guy")
- I believe that the government frame has longer rails on it than an officer's frame, welding material on that is now getting into the silly range.
- Have you considered a CCO gun (commander slide, officer frame) for a "longer barrel shorter frame" gun?
- Your gun here man but... 10/15 LPI is cheesegrater territory. 25LPI is nice, 20LIP is plenty grippy, but not terrible if you have tough-ish hands
For a government slide on short frame, I'd probably rather cut down a government frame to do that, than jump through hoops to attempt to turn an officers frame into a government one
