Lone Wolf Limited Gun build

At SHOT Show, one of the things we got started on was building my gun for Limited-10. This is in conjunction with my sponsor Lone Wolf, who will be providing most of the parts for the top half of the gun. Because I’m shooting a Glock 21 in CDP, the Limited 10 build will also be on a Glock 21 frame so that I can interchange parts and mags between both guns. In fact, the guns will serve as backups for one another at matches – if the Limited-10 gun goes down, the IDPA Glock 21 will be its backup. And if the the IDPA Glock goes down, I’ll have a stock Glock top end for the L10 gun as well for backup. Two is one, after all.

The first order of business is to lighten the hell out of the slide. The slide pictured is a standard Glock 17 length slide, but for the L10 build, we’re going with a six inch slide. That’s a lot of metal on top of a plastic frame, and to make sure it cycles nice and fast, we’re going to cut a bunch of material out of it. The cuts pictured above remove more weight than the standard “big hole in the slide” cut you see on most Glocks, and they look pretty rad to boot. We’re also going to cut the nose of the slide down a little bit to give it a more aggressive appearance, which also cuts some more weight out of the gun.

We’re going to be putting some sweet parts in the gun as well, obviously I’ll be using a Lone Wolf extractor and a Lone Wolf 3.5 lb connector; my usual Warren tactical sights will be riding on the gun as well. I’ll send the lower off to Southpaw Custom to get it stippled and have the Sevigny Speedway added as well, because that is a modification that I cannot live without. Right now, the gun only exists in theory – as we get parts and supplies in for it, I’ll keep you updated on the build process.
