What is the CASPIAN - 1911 SLIDES?

Custom-quality slides from Caspian, ready to be fitted to the frame of your choice. They start as high-quality forgings for extra strength, then are heat-treated to Rc 38-41 before machining for exceptional dimensional stability. Sides are polished, while the rest of the surface is bead-blasted for a non-glare, matte finish. Deep-cut, forward-angled rear cocking serrations prevent slippage when racking, even with a wet hand. Available in 4340 carbon steel (CS) and 416 stainless steel (SS) with .45 ACP, .40 S&W, and 9mm breechfaces. Commander and Officers models in .45 ACP only. Choose a slide without sight cuts (NC), or between two pre-cut dovetail options: a Novak Lo-Mount or Bo-Mar BMCS rear cut, both coupled with a Novak front cut. Recon slide is a Government slide with ball cuts at the front that line up with the light rail on the Caspian Recon frame (available separately). All slides require the use of a 9mm/.38 Super firing pin.


SPECS: 4340 carbon steel, in-the-white, or 416 stainless steel, natural finish. Government model accepts 5" barrel. Commander accepts 4.25" barrel. Officers model accepts 3.5" barrel. All Caspian slides require the use of a 9mm/.38 Super firing pin.

Perfect, buttery smooth operation on an old 1911 re-build
American-made, and with minimal fitting by an experienced gunsmith, my old 1911 cycles perfectly in a 9mm reconfiguration. I used a number of Caspian small-parts to complete the build and am quite satisfied with the quality of all parts. The stainless steel looks excellent too.

Consistent quality
I have used Caspian slides (as well as frames) for many years. I have found that they offer consistent quality (machine work & finish) as well as consistent measurements. For those wondering...The slides have measurements as follows: slide rail .632 +/- .002 slide rail height .118 +/- .001 slide groove .102 +/- .001 I am in the process of ordering another one in a few days from Brownell's for a 10mm build on a Springfield Ronin frame.

Caspian 9mm review
Very good quality. Used mainly for target practice. Does require fitting to the frame but with a few tools not difficult. Have used Caspian frames and slides with great results. Will use them again.

Superb quality.
Highest quality slide as with all of their products thus far. I have built three 1911s with Caspian slide and frame combo. All 3 are superb and on par with the well known custom producers. Thanks to Caspian for making these parts available to the home builder. Yes, they do require fitting and I dedicate as many hours as necessary to get the optimal fit-up. When completed correctly and with care, these parts result in a very high quality 1911. If hand work isn't your bag, many high quality 1911's can be had at your local gun shop. My only concern is some confusion about slide/firing pin match up. A chart or reference in the product descriptions would help to match the correct firing pin with slide, especially since Caspian .45 uses the smaller diameter pin of the smaller calibers.

**Springfield rebuild**
Fitted this SS Caspian slide to a Springfield Armory 1911-A1 frame. Rebuilt this 1911 with all new parts from Brownell's. The fit and finish of this slide is beautiful. I would definitely choose Caspian for all my future builds.
