Thinking about taking the plunge (need advice)

[Dave Waits]

Sparks, a full-size Wilson Combat frame and fitted slide is currently running $427.00. According to the website that's the only setup available right now. A fitted barrel(Strongly suggest a non-ramped barrel) would add another $300.00 or so to that.

Caspian offers an Officers' Model Carbon steel frame for $197.00(Basic, no extras) and a Carbon commander slide for another $220.00. They don't offer a barrel. A Kart E-Z fit barrel and installation set(Strongly recommended) would run you about $225.00 at Brownells

Remsport offers Frames/slides for about $425.00 or so but, you have to do a lot of machining with them. They're a Gunsmithing supplier.

Hope this helps.

Thanks dave for the response! How about Fusion? I've been looking at some of their kits, like the scout. what your opinion on these?

[BadOscar]

Remsport also does fitted frames and slides and they will fit a barrel too. They had Officer combos last time I asked them. I believe it is a big secret but i'm 99.9% sure they made the frames for Dan Wesson for a long time, not sure if they still do now or not.

Thank you very much Alex, I'll check them out! I'd still like to hear some opinions on the fusion kit's if anybody as any experience with them!

Dale, you will have a great time on your first build!! I strongly suggest that you have the barrel fitted as it is not something to mess with on your first one. They can be finicky to fit properly.

You need to post pictures of your build!!

Thanks John! I Def. plan to have the barrel fitted! I don't think I"m quite ready for that yet!

I am really interested in your build because I have thought to do the same. I may try I CCO one of this days.
