Info on the Jackal 90 degree hinge frame

[Masonhd81]

Hello MCB goers, I’m thinking about getting a 90 degree frame for a build. I know of the jackal frame and ANS made one but don’t know anything about it.

What series of cocker did the frame come on? On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate the frame overall. Is it comfortable or even usable without getting arthritis?

The ANS is a direct copy of the Jackal, except for the front of the trigger guard.
With a small tank or a big drop, you can shoot comfortably with the beavertail right off your nose, tight as hell.
The function of the 90 or 86 frames is about wrist angle and elbow placement, body mechanics on small guns held tight.
The form is why most guys get them, they look cool as hell!

Assuming you shoot a hinge with your middle finger on the trigger, try this experiment to see if you would like it.
Put your arm out and make a fist with your knuckles vertical, slowly pull your fist back to your nose with your elbow tucked in.
Once you feel tension in your wrist, pretend you are pulling a trigger.
Do it again but with your knucles horizontal, most find they can "boop" their nose with their wrist no problem this way, again, do the trigger pull.
Last time knuckles at a natural 45 degree, not vertical or horizontal, pull back and trigger pull.
See which one would get closer and remain comfortable, and look at the grip angle you liked best.
Did your hand naturally move to a 1911 45 style grip, or a right angle 90? Which one let you pull the trigger the fastest? Do you even want the gun that close?
That should help you figure out if you would like it.
I love them

I have an ANS one on my Mozak pump, I'm not really sure how I feel about it. The angle takes getting used to, it might be more comfortable on a standard cocker where you're pulling the trigger a lot more than a pump but I'm still on the fence.

Would you be interested in selling perhaps?
