Is there one of these made? - The Firearms Forum

Country101 · 08-21-2006, 01:51 PM

I've been thinking about a new pistol(as always), but I haven't seen any guns with what I want. I would like a full size barrel with a compact, bobbed frame. I like the length of a full size barrel, but for concealed carry I would like the lower profile frame since that is the hard part for me to conceal. Do yall know if anybody makes one of these or if I'm just gonna have to order parts and send it off to Wilson to fit and tune?

Thanks for the responses guys. If I have one of these made I'll probably call Wilson and see what they can do for me. I want one of thiers any way. I've got plenty of time to think about it since I just bought a new welder and still have to pay outrageous tuition.

I've found out that they cant make a compact bobtail. Not enough room for the mainspring.
