1911 frames seem to have disappeared

wojownik · Nov 1, 2019

Is anyone still selling RIA frames (stripped or complete). It seems like 1911 frames are unobtainium right now. I'm trying to track down a dark grey / black parked 1911 receiver to mate with a slide I have. Any hints?

I'm not looking for an 80% frame ...

Anything wrong with Caspian / Foster?

Sarco has parkerized RIA frames listed on their website. I don't know if it's in stock.

As JRadice45 mentioned, I think it would be easier to go with Foster (Caspian seconds). You can get a nice stainless steel Government frame and add some options, installed plunger tube & ejector, for not much more than the parkerized RIA at Sarco.

Nothing wrong with them - just being lazy and looking for an already parkerized frame, These are all in the white. Sarco went out of stock, not expecting any more.

Where are these frames made? I had it in my mind that they came from Brazil and the Philippines.

Parkerizing is probably the easiest finish for a hobby gunsmith to do.

1911 frames are made in batches, and sell in batches.

Wait a few months....
