Why Choose This 1911 Frame?

This frame is perfect for DIY gunsmiths and firearm enthusiasts looking to build a personalized 1911. As an 80% frame, it requires fabrication to complete, allowing for a hands-on building experience that complies with federal regulations—it is not considered a firearm until finished.
