Advertised in the latest Dillon Precision catalog, here's what Defense Review (http://www.defensereview.com) has to say:
This is one of the coolest non-factory/aftermarket products for Glock pistols that DefenseReview has seen. We were alerted to it by our friend and noted gunwriter Gary Johnston (Gary Paul Johnston). It's a replacement Glock-type grip frame made from Aluminum, Titanium, or Stainless Steel, whichever the customer prefers. We understand that CCF RaceFrames, LLC actually had their metal alloy grip frames for Glock pistols (9mm, .40 S&W, .357 SIG, and .45 ACP) on display at SHOT Show 2006, but we somehow missed them at the show! Thank God for Gary Johnston. According to him, these non-factory metal alloy Glock frames are awesome/superlative.

The CCF replacement Glock-type grip frames (or, aftermarket Glock-type frames--whichever you prefer to call them) should be available very soon. The Stainless Steel version is due for release in mid-May/early June. The Aluminum and Titanium versions are both due shortly after the SS version. The CCF frames offer a host of noteworthy features:...


First, they mimic the old-style 2nd-Generation Glock grip profile with a checkered front strap without finger grooves and interchangeable checkered back strap, a.k.a. interchangeable rear grip strap. This interchangeable rear gripstrap feature will allow the user to have a 1911-angled grip configuration, if one so chooses.

More features: Enlarged beveled magazine well (magwell), enlarged trigger guard opening (to reduce the likelihood of finger pinch), rounded trigger guard corner, extended beavertail/tang, “improved” thumb relief areas (for “more positive grip”, scalloped area surrounding magazine release button “for positive disengagement”, high-cut/radiused fronstrap/trigger guard area for “reduced middle knuckle pressure”, high-cut beavertail/tang to “allow the frame to sit lower in your hand for improved recoil control, and a Mil-Std-1913 rail on the dustcover that is five times (5x) longer than on the Glock OEM grip frame.

And, CCF is even offering the Cominolli Custom manual safety kit (designed specifically for Glock pistols) as an option.

CCF RaceFrames claims that their Glock-type frames allow for enhanced accuracy and muzzle control, improved weight and balance, a consistently crisp trigger pull (due to metal allow frame rigidity). The CCF grip frames “accept all [Glock] OEM and aftermarket parts (drop-in/no-fitting), holsters, and Picatinny mounts.”

So, how do the CCF Raceframes Glock-type grip frames compare to the Glock factory grip frames? As an example, the Glock 17/22 (9mm/.40 S&W) OEM frame weighs 3.66 ounces (oz.). By comparison, the CCF frames weigh: Aluminum – 7.3 oz., Titanium – 12 oz., Stainless Steel – 21 oz.

Boy, what'll they think of next?

I just wish Glock would do this to there factory polymer frames.

But aluminum? Thats just a solution to a problem that doesnt exist! If I wanted a aluminum framed pistol, I'd buy a factory aluminum frame pistol. I actually have one, great gun too! (S&W)
 
Cant imagine even a thicker grip. The ss frame would make for a good range gun- target gun.
 
So, let me get this straight... they're taking the "Plastic" out of the "Fantastic Plastic"?

Jesus, just buy a different gun.

I'm not a Glock person in the slightest, but even I recognize when something's gone off the reservation.
 
Wow, what a novel idea. Maybe now someone will come up with a really nice single action trigger for it......then maybe install an easy to use thumb safety for carrying C&L........... :D
 
It looks to me also like this frame would really be regulated as a firearm, have to be serial numbered, and transferred via an FFL.

Of course it would. When you buy one, you'll have to pay a dealer a transfer fee just like any other handgun.
 
Sometimes I just have to shake my head and wonder :rolleyes:

So you too can buy a Glock and with a little time, effort, money and parts can turn it into a SIG. :neener:
 
The heart of the glock pistol is the polymer frame. If you want another type of frame then by a 1911. I have learned that every pistol cannot be everything to everyone. If you want a metal frame pistol, but a 1911 or similar... they are a great pistol. Why spend all of the money on the glock and then another 2-3 hundred on another frame. You have just passed the cost of a very decent 1911.
 
All of the money of a SIG P226 and none of the classiness.:rolleyes:

Isn't a plastic fantastic with a decent grip angle called an XD?:D
 
You guys have it all wrong

It's about
Discover(ing) the Ergonomics & Fit You Didn't Think Possible!

Now you get the 'grip' you always missed with your stock Glock. Things like:
OEM G17 / G22 Bare Plastic Frames - 3.66 ounces
CCF RaceFrames, LLC's Stainless Steel Frame - 21 ounces
Click to expand...
See a frame over five times heavier than the original. Think of the possibilities!
Optional Manual Safety
Click to expand...
Remember that the original Glock design is almost 30 years old. And really, wouldn't you feel better knowing that there's just one more level of safety?

The initial offering of CCF RaceFrames have a Mil Spec Type 3 Anodized finish, offered in Charcoal or OD Green.

See, colors! No more being limited to plain black!

(All typed with tongue firmly planted in cheek)

Not a big Glock fan (if I owned a 9mm for carry it'd be a 17 or 19 though). But this is a stupid idea. But like a lot of stupid gun related ideas, it will sell!
 
WHY? :scrutiny: I like my G19 because of the poly-frame, I don't think an alloy frame does anything for me. Plus, w/ the alloy frame, you end up w/ 2 ugly guns...the one w/ the poly frame, the other w/ the alu-frame :scrutiny:
 
Finally,

A reason to possibly build a Glockenstein's Monster.

I like plastic where it belongs- in milk jugs, kitchen utensils and storage containers.

No tactical tupperware for me.
 
the only thing that is good for is making a chrome glock. but alas you couldn't try to fool anyone because they lopped off the hump in the grip.
 
Finally - the 100% Aftermarket Glock!!!

It has occurred to me that now, with these CCF frames, one could conceivably build a Glock pistol completely from aftermarket, non-OEM parts - CCF frame, Caspian slide, Bar-Sto barrel, Lightning Strike or Lone Wolf trigger parts, Scherer magazines, etc. (OK, some parts like extractors and frame locking blocks may still have to come from Glock)

Totally impractical and cost-inefficient, but at least you could say, truthfully, that such a pistol would have never been in Austria or in Smyrna, GA - for whatever that might be worth.
