Brownells USA PERFECT 06/01/2017

I finished my tactical 1911 build on the Recon frame about 8 months ago and I cant say enough good things about this. Obviously fitting is required because that's one of the best things about a 1911. When done correctly, this was a great fit with a Caspian Slide and Wilson combat internals. Someone who knows what they're doing with 1911s will not be disappointed with this frame. Will be buying another one soon.
