Gunbroker

A guy from IL I think I will have to check but very fast. Had it in three days from purchase. You have lots of options there, some have internals some striped...lots of choices there.

You can also buy a LW lower in the G19 or G17 size soon they will also have a larger size

yep, they do:

Timberwolf frames bare are $200 and completed frame is $234

Gunbroker has frames complete at about $177-195. Not putting down the Timberwolf frame but why spend the extra up to $50 when a OEM Glock frame is pretty good....and the aftermarket part selection is much easier on a Glock frame.

BUT you will not go wrong with either. The guys at LoneWolf are great!

I didn't think it was possible but, I personally think the LW Timberwolf frames are uglier than oem . I just don't care for them.

This is why I went back to factory ultimately I think they are ugly. But that is me. Price was a close second.

Why didn't you go with an engraved or milled slide for your build? They have some pretty neat designs to choose from.

Another good question: when I think about getting the gun finished i try to put funds in the best places. I have not ruled out getting something done to the slide but that doesn't use my tight budget to its best place, for now. I am going to concentrate on finishing the basics first then fancy it up. I have not decided on sights or optics yet either so that could cost some money. Hope that makes some sense. I would love to go crazy on tje thing but that is not in the cards right now.

Well, that might be true, but I have found that a lot of shooters coming from the 1911 format, like the LW lower.
It sits in the hand like a 1911, points like a 1911 and has all of the goodies (straight back, rounder finger guard etc) like a 1911.
They are a good quality (I have used many) and their slides are a better quality than the original Glock slides (you can leave them as they come or refinish).
But if you are looking for a new Glock lower send me a PM. I have a supplier that gets them from time to time and in various colors (DE, OD, Black).
Never know what models he has in stock but they do com complete with all of the inners.
