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.
