Who has the strongest 1911 frame? I'm getting a NICE refund this year and want to build from scratch: a long slide 1911 .45 Super (or that round that uses .308 brass) stainless frame/slide. Other ideas about this build are welcome. |
I don't think you'll be able to tell a difference in any of the good, forged frames available today. Look into Wilson, Les Baer and RRA. |
yep, as long as it's forged you're getting the strongest. the extra money you pay will result in fewer machine marks, assurance that everything is in spec, and maybe a few extra features/custom touches. |
| Lots of forged companies are using good steel. One thing I would suggest is rethinking SS on a .45 super. You are using higher pressure round, which = more wear and tear. Carbon steel will give you more life. If you want the best of both worlds then, hard chrome it. |
