I see they offer a Stainless frame, but I don't see a stainless slide. Do you think if I call them they might offer a stainless slide? I want to build Stainless just for the increased corrosion resistance.

I would give them a call, or write to Elliott. JEM makes frames and slides for a LOT of custom gun smiths and manufacturers. They do accomodate "off menu" requests as well. It can't hurt asking. Elliott's email address is: [email protected]


Here is another JEM frame build BTW. Slide by Colt . . . . .

You don’t have to go with Jem for a slide. I use Jem frames and Caspian slides.

Caspian slides are very good.

@SolidCustom ^^ This guy would know. ^^

Well that seals it then, if I can get it bald then I will get a caspian slide and a jem frame. I want to get front and rear GI style thin vertical cocking serrations on the slide, but that's it.

Made by Ed Minshew. He used to work for STI but started making frames. So far they’ve been pretry great. No issues.

One thing about Jem frames is they don’t look pretty when you get them. They are right off the machine and require a lot of hand work to get all the machine boogers off. Once you clean them up they are pretty great.

Both frames I have got from them I ordered with their bead blast finish (both stainless). They weren't Ed Brown stainless bead blast, but I really didn't feel I had to do anything else with the finish. I was happy the way they came.

I also asked them to supply and fit the grip safety on both. They did very respectable job on both.
