Because the 1911 operating mechanics are sensitive. Having a frame that flexes that much under recoil with something like a 1911 is a disaster waiting to happen.I know.... lol. But i'm wondering why i've never seen one. Paul
It's fun to imagine what JMB would have done if asked to design a plastic gun. Maybe at that point a Bakelite gun
Actually i spent a few hours looking up all the crap i got back from google, and most of was about large frame polymer glock style frames because they included 1911 in the name. But thank you very much for the tip and info about google. i never would have thought of looking there.

Yes, i did, and after getting a shitload of adds and glock answers i decided to ask the experts here. I apologize to you and your other google buddy for the effort it took you guys to answer, but i was really expecting the people that know what they are talking about and actually know how to respond with a helpful answer to respond. And they did .So...use the google?

With such a thin delicate skin, you'll have a difficult time out here on the google.

Good "Stripes" reference,, my original question was does anyone make a polymer 1911 frame. and then . would this type of frame be able to take the beating that metal frames do. Since "everyone" tends to build "glocks" i considered building a poly-wuflu 1911. but i started picturing the metal slide slamming out 7 to 10 rounds as fast and often as a blue or stainless steel gun, and my minds eye saw a slide either entering my right eyeball, or following the round downrange like the early S&W's did for the State Police. Or just shatter in mid cycle and hurt myself and bystanders. I have not owned or shot a poly framed pistol , i know i will at some point. But i want to get back to building 1911's, the more Frankenstein the better. While i have you guys here...... what is the reason for buying a slide "casting" or are those for the professionals that actually know what they are doing and not just a parts person like me.... Paul
