After viewing Desert Dogs hi-cap 9 x 23, I'm definately in love. This (or a variation) will be my next pistol. Here's my question, DD used a STI composite/steel frame. SVI makes a similar frame only in composite/ALUMINUM. Will an aluminum frame stand up to a 9 x 23 type pounding?
Thank You. Mark Shuell.

I have done a dozen or so 9x23s with aluminum frames including STIs.....all with ramped barrels.

...as I patiently wait for just ONE of them to reach my paws :grin:

Aluminum frames are not an issue for 9x23 and actually make for a very nice combo.
