| Is there a railed CCO out there? I have been looking but can't seem to find anyone who makes one... |

Quoted:
I just sent off a set of slides and frames for builds to someone - I can say that caspian will/can make you a CCO with a rail on it. Want pics later? ETA: it's in 9mm too. I've nicknamed it the playtpus, for its wacky features not always seen in one place  In for pics. |

I'm considering getting an aluminum railed officer Caspain frame with serrated front strap and integral plunger tube paired with either a stainless or carbon slide with serrated flat top, lowered and flared port, novak cuts, french border, and either a ball cut or no cut slide. |

I'm considering getting an aluminum railed officer Caspain frame with serrated front strap and integral plunger tube paired with either a stainless or carbon slide with serrated flat top, lowered and flared port, novak cuts, french border, and either a ball cut or no cut slide. I went with a steel frame - I've been told, "The moment you shoot your 9mm 1911, you're going to start shooting it a lot." Realizing I wanted to shoot it a ton, and that carry is basically forbidded in my state, so "all day carry" weight is not a consideration, (size and variety were), I went with a steel one. I do have the integral plunger tube as you see. Carbon slide too, flat topped. Sights not cut yet. I think that's the recon radius on the slide |

I don't think 9mm is going to be nearly as hard on an aluminum frame as .45 is, especially in the shorter guns where everything happens harder and faster than on a Government model. I'm inclined to agree on that, I don't believe 9mm would be as hard on a frame as .45, but I do believe carbon steel is stronger than aluminum "All else being equal." My hope is that I can pass this down to kids/grandkids one day 
I'd prefer a higher round count frame life if possible - considering how I'm in a state where I can't carry this gun anyway 
It's on "who is that at the door? I don't recognize them.." Duty |
