Standard Frame 2011

The Standard Frame 2011 represents the most common and versatile configuration of this high-performance pistol platform. It typically features a full-length steel upper frame (chassis) extending to the muzzle, often with an integrated accessory rail, combined with a detachable polymer grip module. This design balances durability, ergonomics, and capacity, making it a favorite for demanding applications.

The Foundation of Versatile Performance:

  • Full-Length Dust Cover: A defining feature, the steel upper frame extends along the entire length of the slide. This adds beneficial weight forward, improving muzzle stability and aiding in recoil management during rapid fire.

  • Integrated Accessory Rail: Most standard 2011 frames include a Picatinny or Weaver rail, allowing for easy attachment of lights, lasers, and other tactical accessories.

  • Modular Design & High Capacity: It retains the core 2011 advantage of a separate polymer grip module, accommodating high-capacity, double-stack magazines. This modularity also allows for grip customization to suit individual hand sizes and preferences.

  • Robust Construction: The combination of a strong steel frame and durable polymer grip ensures reliability and longevity under extensive use.

This standard configuration is ideal for competitive shooters in divisions like USPSA Limited and Carry Optics, as well as for duty and tactical applications, offering a robust, adaptable, and high-performing platform.
