The Glock first appeared not much more than 20 years ago and in an astonishingly short time reached near-iconic status. It dominates the US police duty market, is used by military organizations all over the world, and is wildly popular with private citizens, both for personal defense and competition.

True perfection is simply perfection and exceeding or eclipsing it would be an oxymoron. In the world of steel and polymer handgunds, Glock pistols are considered to represent "Perfection," at least by its creator Herr Gaston Glock and his legions of disciples, while others would vigorously debate that claim. There is no doubt the pioneering plastic powerhouses have taken the US police and civilian self defense markets by the proverbial storm and its undoubtedly the most popular pistol in both markets.

If you´re a student of firearms, you continue to be amazed at the technical, design and production breakthroughs emerging at an ever-increasing pace. One of these is the use of plastic in firearms. The very idea of this seems a paradox, but the truth is, plastic is king – or is it?

When the Glock 17 first rocked the firearms industry nearly 25 years ago, a friend of mine, Reiner Ruhnke, a German polican Expe officer in what was then West Berlin wrote me as follows: "I have fired this new Glock pistol – ugly, but works. Remember, we had it first." The last words of this were a quip Rainer threw at me on a regular basis. You know, the "German stuff is better" thing. What´s more, he was almost always right – almost.

Imagine a $350 frame that mimics a gunsmith's Glock grip reduction and frame contour job, adds a bevertail, replaces the Glock frontstrap finger grooves with crisp checkering and cleans up the trigger pull, while increasing rapid-fire accuracy with superior recoil control. CCF RaceFrames^® offers all that in an aftermarket, replacement frame that shooters are saying does even more.read more here

CCF's Un-Glock
Tim Bentley

I've been building and shooting Glocks for a long time; I like the guns and they, for the most part, seem to like me. The exception comes with Open guns. Although I am not a gunsmith, I do attempt to play one on occasion (emphasis on "attempt"). The Open guns I've put together have one common trait: they lack longevity. I have a drawer of broken parts and repair recepts that attest to that.

When a new firearms holster line, product or accessory is debuted, invariably the first commercial offerings are designed to support the world's most popular sidearm, Gaston Glock's revolutionary and ubiquitous polymer and steel, self-loading GLOCK pistol. Today there are dozens of emulative polymer-framed handguns on the market that combine light weight with pound for pound strength superior to steel. So it follows that the world's first metal receiver for polmer, plastic and nylon-framed firearms is initially being offered for full-sized GLOCK 9mm, .40, .357SIG and .45GAP pistols only.

I remember the first time I held a Glock. It was 1986, and the strangest part was my dad was the guy who handed it to me. Pop was a dyed-in-the-wool 1911 guy and here he was talking about what a great gun this plastic thing was. “Don’t criticize the cuisine until you taste it.” He said it with a smile on his face.
