Need some feedback on what kind of frame you would like to see me manufacture.

I didn't know these are Clamshells.

Yeah, most Tippys are clamshell. On the 98, the whole marker is a clamshell. On the A5, Phenom and X7 the frame is removable, but still clamshell.

I had thought the same thing though MPSD about having loops or something on either end.

I have a pretty clean idea in mind to attach the trigger guard but will have to do the CAD to make sure it will work. I'm going to give this thread a few more days then I'll get busy.

here's a booyah.





dont know how it attatches but i'm sure an allen set screw would work

Modular Grip Frame

From ASP:







Attaches with one screw.

That looks like a manufacturing strategy to save money on materials.

Would allow for 45 and 90. I think there might be some design issues though due to how the AGD sear protrudes into the frame.

Agreed; I just wanted to show the basic idea of a modular frame. I'm sure there is a more mag-friendly (sear clearance) method of attaching the frame to the trigger assembly.

Just spitballing, but what about a combination of the ASP design and the clamshell? Top part of frame cold be solid and grip portion could be clamshell? And a removable trigger guard. This would be totally modular. you could have single/double trigger and vert of 45 grip. Having the bottom clamshell would allow for two pockets to be milled, one for single trigger guard and another lower down in the handle to accept a double guard.

I really dont see a need for a removable guard but who am I to judge what true love is...

I think the point was to be able to manufacture one frame and be able to swap out single and double guards to make it more versatile.

Why would an 86* be better than a 90* frame?

Comfort in my opinion.

Comfort in my opinion.

4* is that big of a deal?
