Frequently Asked Questions

What are the new colors available for the GS M1X frame?

The GS M1X frame is now available in two new attractive colors: Battlefield Green and Grey. These join the previously released Black and Coyote/Tan options, offering more aesthetic choices for custom Glock builds.

How does the M1X frame improve a Glock 26/27/33 for concealed carry?

The M1X frame converts a small-frame Glock (26/27/33) into a better shooter and carry gun by providing a full-size grip, increasing capacity to 15 rounds (with a standard Glock 19 magazine for 9mm), and featuring an ideal grip angle and texturing for enhanced control.

What are common compatibility issues when building with an M1X frame?

A frequent issue arises when mixing Glock Gen5 lower parts with a Gen3 upper slide, specifically concerning the slide cover plate notch. Gen5 plates have a larger notch and may require modification to fit Gen3 trigger housings, while Gen3 plates may not fit Gen5 housings without modification.

What lights are compatible with the M1X frame?

The M1X frame features a rail designed to accommodate the Streamlight TLR-7 Sub light. This light is similar in size and mounting to those used on Glock 43X models, providing a compact and effective illumination option.
