A friend of mine gave me a 1991 Compact(Officers size) frame. I then found a stainless Series 80 slide on Gunbroker. I had originally intended to have a custom gun built with the parts. I then got to thinking, which is a dangerous thing for me. I was going to buy a Fusion alloy Officers frame and build a lightweight gun. Bob said they were going to produce a run of Series 80 frames. That would give me a lightweight OACP, just not a true Colt. I was then going to use the steel 1991 lower to build a 10mm CCO size pistol for fun and woods carry. I was also going to have a .40 S&W and .357 Sig barrel fitted to round it out. Lately I have been thinking I should just build the thing as an all steel OACP. It won't be a factory gun, but it will be all Colt. I already have a custom built CCO using Series 80 parts and a pre Series 80 LW Commander that I am going to have a light custom job done on it. What do you guys think? I am definitely leaning towards the all steel build right now. |
