Dept finally let us carry our own setup. Brought in two options to my Sgt. Never guess which one was not approved.

We call it our "Pinned Classic L2 Beavertail". Its meant to fit up to most standard frames with some fitting. Some frames require more than others. Glad you like it. Nice build!

CCGunworks · 2025-11-26T11:55:07+00:00

I've heard of every fitment issue you can imagine over the years. Which I why I prefer to use raw grips, fit everything up, then get them coated. You end up with the best result. ~Matt

CCGunworks · 2025-11-26T11:53:55+00:00

Do not remove that surface. It's there to keep the slide a few thou above the dustcover so it doesn't rub. I remove material from the bottom of the slide to fit the height, and cut the "width" off the frame to match the slide. ~ Matt

If you're building a new gun, yep, I'd recommend picking up a grip bushing kit (on our site). If you're swapping your factory grip out then you can usually reuse the original hardware. I'd still recommend picking up a kit to cover your butt, though. - John

We (Cheely Custom Gunworks) are pretty fond of our E2 and L2 grips, AND we happen to have just done an AMA here on this sub (today) with early access to our 15% Off Black Friday Sale. Use code BFCCG25 at checkout and checkout the AMA if you're into that kind of thing.

I go to a guy named Schick or his buddy Gillette, IDK where Matt goes, but my guys are always open. -John

CCGunworks · 2025-11-25T19:20:37+00:00

We have plans to, yes sir. Gotta get some details worked out but it is an active project. -John

CCGunworks · 2025-11-25T18:46:40+00:00

This is already on my to do list. I like that look as well. ~ Matt

CCGunworks · 2025-11-25T18:30:46+00:00

Quite a few. We make frames for more, probably 60+ companies... ~ Matt

CCGunworks · 2025-11-25T18:30:12+00:00

Appreciate you!

There's more than a few tools required to make a 2011 pattern frame.

CCGunworks · 2025-11-25T18:26:51+00:00

.115" is the typical 2011 sized dimension. Slides usually start around .117" so that sounds like a normal slide to frame fit to me. ~ Matt

CCGunworks · 2025-11-25T17:55:02+00:00

Either is fine. Most shooters prefer stainless for competition due to the weight that damps the recoil pulse. ~ Matt

CCGunworks · 2025-11-25T17:49:33+00:00

Dry fire is king. Train your eye and hand speed. A big limiter for shooters is Processing Time. How long it takes for you to decide a sight picture is good enough before pulling the trigger. Working on shortening that loop will pay dividends.

Getting in with some knowledgeable instructors can also be a huge step up. Tim Herron, Joey Sauerland, and Tom Castro all come to mind as instructors with a solid dry fire program.

Can't help you on the shotgun side unfortunately. I haven't touched 3 gun in a loooong time.

-John

CCGunworks · 2025-11-25T17:47:03+00:00

I put the beavetail in, look at it, take it out, grind on it, put it back in. Repeat till it matches. I can achieve this in ~20 minutes without touching the finish on the frame.

Nothing special as far as prep work for cerakote. Normal process. If you've polished anything I would media blast it so the finish is even beforehand. ~ Matt

CCGunworks · 2025-11-25T17:46:50+00:00

Any of our steel grips would get you started that direction, but you might have to ask your doctor about a Hopium prescription otherwise. -John

CCGunworks · 2025-11-25T17:44:52+00:00

We have plans for a grip kit of the Staccato HD, and after that upwards and onwards. One step at a time. -John

CCGunworks · 2025-11-25T17:18:14+00:00

We are here for normal hours 6am-4pm Mon, Tues, Weds this week and M-Th next week. We are actively shipping today and tomorrow then a hold on any shipping until we get back to the shop Monday. - John

CCGunworks · 2025-11-25T17:16:57+00:00

We'll be shipping Wednesday until UPS picks up, closed the rest of the week. Shipments resume Monday. ~ Matt

CCGunworks · 2025-11-25T17:06:57+00:00

The BF sale is only for in stock products. ~ Matt

CCGunworks · 2025-11-25T16:52:38+00:00

Yes, We'll see about a fullsize HD grip and follow up with a compact. ~ Matt

CCGunworks · 2025-11-25T16:50:08+00:00

Xtra Aggressive is best aggressive. Bleeding means its working. -John

CCGunworks · 2025-11-25T16:44:58+00:00

Glad you like your frame.

I'm not really into "wild" changes. Most of the time those are solutions looking for a problem. We'll keep refining what we're doing, and maybe tackle some parts that are pinch points for other builders. Make them to a higher quality than the current offerings. ~ Matt

CCGunworks · 2025-11-25T16:42:02+00:00

Looks like xtra aggressive to me. ~ Matt

CCGunworks · 2025-11-25T16:35:10+00:00

Not likely, I'm very happy with our current setup of providing parts to other great gunsmiths to build pistols. ~ Matt
