Paclite on 22/45 and Steel MK Frame

[legnef]

I have been told that a Tactical Solutions Paclite barrel will fit and function properly on a 22/45 frame and a MK steel frame. (MK 1,2,3,22/45). I understand the lug and peening for fit etc. What I do not understand how the barrell can function properly considering the different grip angle on the 22/45 and MK steel frame. Seems that the magazines would be at an incorrect angle for the barrel feed ramp.

I by passed using the 22/45 frame and went to the Volquartsen 1911 Target Frame. Their frame has a adjustable lug that can be used to fit different uppers to the same frame. You can obtain a snug fit that can be broke down with a firm hand fit only.

Very Nice frames, especially with the Pac-lites! Do these VQ frames with the Pac-lite barrels function extremely reliable etc? Assuming use of decent ammo.

They both have same feed angle ! Just outer is different profile

I’ve never had a problem with the three that I own.

Ahhh, same feed angle, outer is different, makes sense, many thanks!
