2011 Frames

2011 Frames

The 2011 frame is the innovative core of the high-performance 2011 pistol, distinguishing it significantly from the traditional 1911. Unlike a single-piece frame, the 2011 utilizes a modular system, typically comprising a serialized steel upper frame (chassis) and a separate, interchangeable polymer grip module. This design is paramount for the 2011's success in competitive shooting.

Engineered for Modularity and Performance:

• Modular Design: The two-part frame allows for unprecedented customization. The steel upper frame houses the slide rails and fire control group, while the polymer grip module provides the primary hand interface, trigger guard, and accommodates high-capacity, double-stack magazines.

• Capacity Advantage: A key benefit is the ability to use wider, double-stack magazines, dramatically increasing ammunition capacity for extended strings of fire.

• Ergonomic Customization: The detachable polymer grip modules can be easily swapped to alter circumference, texture, and contour, allowing shooters to perfectly tailor the pistol's feel to their hand size for enhanced comfort and control.

• Recoil Management: The combination of the rigid steel chassis and the slightly flexible polymer grip helps in absorbing and managing recoil, contributing to a flatter-shooting experience and faster sight re-acquisition.

• Material: The primary materials are machined steel for the serialized upper frame and high-strength polymer for the grip module, balancing durability with reduced overall weight.

Choosing a 2011 frame provides the foundation for a highly customizable, high-capacity, and performance-driven pistol, ideal for demanding competitive environments.
