Glock Steel Frame - So far, in the press release bombardment leading up to the SHOT show, I think these new products from this new company are the two things I'm most excited about. And the products I'm really excited to get my hands on. New from Alpha Foxtrot - www.BuiltAF.com - is their GLOCK-compatible AF409c aluminum pistol frame.
You might get the gist from pictures and one caller, but what we're looking at here is an anodized 7075 machined hardcoat aluminum pistol frame with steel rail inserts. It is dimensionally compatible with Gen3 GLOCK components, but changes ergos and features.

For example, a genuine Picatinny-spec rail covers the dust cover, and a lovely thumb rest ("effectively a gas pedal") is machined into either side. Includes rails, locking block and pins.

All MSRP $249. I've been wrong before, but I think these things are going to be incredibly popular.
A limited number of frames are already available via the "Buy Now" link on the Alpha Foxtrot website. Keep in mind that these are legal firearms, so you will have to ship them to your FFL for the exchange, and they may not be available in some states.
Next up is the MF409c, the first modular frame I can remember with proper parts that fit the GLOCK. The aluminum grip module (trigger guard, grip, beavertail) is a separate part from the steel rail module (dust cover, locking block area, slide rails, top of the grip area, etc.). A rail module is a serial "gun" component.
While this certainly opens up the possibility of exchanging all combinations of short and long slides in short and long frames, it also allows for a lot of fun with colors. Dasan is a Korean manufacturer that makes Glock barrels very well now. Make a sub for the Glock. They start with the Glock 19 and build their lowers out of aluminum.

They have some interesting designs going on at the bottom. The mag catch looks like a 1911 style mag catch and I thought it was odd that they didn't go with the factory Glock mag release to make it easier for the end user when building their lowest.
The dotting is rather weak. Traction is standard, and being aluminum they should go with the micro pocket texture found on the SV Infinity Race guns. That grip texture is extremely aggressive.
I really like the supportive thumb shelf on the side of the gun. It gives your thumb a lot more real estate than the Agency Arms accelerator cut. The only way to beat this would be a bonafide racing gun gas pedal.
They also build a 2011 style frame over the aluminum frame. The frame will be steel with a polymer grip and trigger guard.

Why do you want a 2011 style frame? This then makes the Glock Modular look like the Sig P320. Being a registered steel frame gun, polymer grips can be purchased and shipped directly to your home. You can customize them. The possibility of alternating grip lengths and angles is now possible on the same gun.
Both frames are Gen3 Glock compatible. The aluminum frame will be forged from 7075 aluminum and will retail for an introductory price of $249, rising to $299. The 2011 style frame will be priced similarly. Dasan is trying to make these available by the second quarter.
I would like to see a Glock 17/22 sized frame as I find these types of grips more useful for competition than EDC self defense. I would like to see flared mag springs and an extended mag release. Hopefully they will explore further development once these frames emerge.
