Interest Thread - Phrame 3.0

[flyweightnate]

I want to make an important note in addition to the above photos. I have several extra triggers so yes, you can buy one of each.

More importantly, the preorder back end can't "shift" inventory between the two. If you want curved but it only lets you preorder flat, just PM me and I'll switch it over.

Also - these curved triggers are a little taller than a stock Phantom trigger. They'll fit the original Phrame, too, but won't fit a stock Phantom.

Cool I will grab one of each.

no stop it! chucky has TOO MUCH cool stuff!!

[Chuck E Ducky]

You stop it. It’s Time for a dualing set.

Ok MCB people: Preorder is live.

By deleting an option (grips included) to simplify back-end inventory levels, it may have screwed up the "Back in Stock" email system. (Ugh.) I'll be sending those independently, shortly. Nothing like some extra manual labor.

But it means y'all have dibs while I build an email list.

I went to the Phramework site and it seems that only the 86* Phrame 75 is available for pre-order.
I haven’t experienced one so I can’t tell if I’d like it. As a result I seek a 45* Phrame 1.0.
I love .45 frames.
Are they no longer an option?

[Chuck E Ducky]

I have a 45 I might let go of weltman. If you can’t find one. I just want to get the 86* in my hand to be 100% sure that’s what I want for my build.

They're not currently in stock is the best way to say it... I've talked to my 45 frame machinist and we're planning a run early next year.
That said, the CZ75 (on which this one is based, with some modifications to make it CCM 86 grip compatible) has the same grip angles as the Hi Power, which has the same angles as the 1911 - because our boy John Moses Browning was prolific. I find they point very similarly.

The main difference is that the Phrame 75 feels a bit "chunkier" compared to the original 1911 pattern. I wear size 9 gloves and can pretty comfortably hold both, even with Hogues. The panels I have for the 75 are as slim as it gets (as are CCMs), Guun grips are a little bigger, Hogues are the biggest.

the .45 phrame suprised me with how slim it was for a gas-in-grip!
same width as my gargoyle unit!
excellent work Nate!

How much air comes out of the holes in the back of the frame. I generally don’t wear gloves when I play.

just a little bit, but alot of co2 😂

It depends how full the 12g is. I can conclusively say, less than 12 grams comes out of those holes...

I did some testing specifically around this, dumping a full cartridge. I didn't freeze myself, so that was good. I also picked the lower half of the frame so it's not up on the thumb web where people grip tightly. A lot of gas comes straight down through the door, but I didn't want grips blowing off so I added some area.

It's similar to using a CCI bucket and opening on a full 12g, when all the gas blows out those three slots. I'll see if I can film myself getting a "worst case" dump.

i had a worst case dump last night. stay away from Tony's Tacos in Taneytown
