I'm planning on ordering a fitted slide and frame from Caspian this week or next, before I did I wanted to check to make sure this was the best place to get it and anything to look out for. This is the first time I've done a ground up build, aside from having them do all the frame/slide work. Feel free to throw in any opinions or suggestions. Thanks |

I've built two pistols up using Caspian Frames. Have them install the Plunger tube and ejector. They do it for next to nothing. I had them cut the frames for ramped barrels as well. I use Essex enhanced slides because I feel they can't be beat for the money, as they have all the desirable features already done. I lapped these to the frames myself. I had no problems with both the frames I used, one was a stainless recon frame and the other a stainless commander frame. They are very friendly and professional folks to deal with and I highly reccommend them!

You can shop from the Caspian sub-company, Foster and save some money. Even if they fit the slide/frame, you may still need to do some fitting after you install the barrel. Just FYI. If you go Caspian, they offer an integral plunger tube. I like that. Never comes loose as it's part of the frame. I've never had a problem with Caspian/Foster parts. |
