Today's project is to build a double stack STI 2011 with both 9mm and 45 Cal slides.
The challenge was to fit two different slides to the same frame keeping in mind that I'm not a gunsmith. After sanding and lapping they both feel smooth a glass.
The reflex sight fitted to the 9mm . Machining the grooves for the Reflex sight was a real challenge. 15 and 26 9mm round mags fit the frame.
The 45 slide came with dove tail grooves fore and aft to fit Bomar white dot sights. With 45 rounds, the mags hold 10 or 15 rounds.











When doing a project like this, it helps to have a tackle box of shiny lures.
