Do any Canadian dealers carry the metal Glock replacement frame?

Glock metal frame

Many aftermarket parts have "issues". Never expect anything aftermarket to be "plug and play".
Anyhow, back to my my question .... Do any Canadian suppliers sell these?
Actually it's a solution to a broken plastic Glock frame. I'm asking on behalf of a friend, I don't own a Glock. It might be easier and cheaper to get a replacement frame from Glock.

There were a couple of frames for sale on the EE not to long ago, did you check there?
I can assure you that the cracked/busted Glock frame was very much a real thing, as I did a basic field strip of the gun with the cracked frame. It seems to me that if you have a pistol with a broken frame you have a "problem". I might add that it appears that the pistol in question suffered the damage from bad ammo - it looked like a case blew out just above the web.
The cuts in the slide are sized to mate with formed sheet metal frame rails. You just aren't going to find investment cast *anything* that is as strong, thickness for thickness, as formed sheetmetal.
The alloy Glock frames are a dumb idea. However, if some of you "plastic is bad!" sheep buy them regardless of how ####ty they are, maybe they aren't such a dumb idea after all.
Regardless, they aren't a good gun.

The frame is the "gun" part (registered) but are generally the least expencive part also.
If you can get one from Glock, it may only cost 200 bucks at an upper maximum (mabey even closer to 100 bucks)
the HK USP frames (i suppose similar in construction and composition) go for around 250 bucks (US prices) and HK's go for significantly more than glocks do.
I'd say skip the metal frame.
Polymer is (next to forged or billet Steel) the best matareial for absorbing shock forces without causing damage. Its definatly not as strong as forged or billet steel, but i would take a polymer frame ANY day over a cast steel or alloy frame.
The alloy frames WILL wear out eventually, the polymer frames will last for as long as it doesn't get too much UV exposure (only thing that will "age" polymer is UV light)... And we're talking hundreds of thousands of hours or direct UV exposure, so dont think that leaving a gun in the open will kill it.
Most of the VP70z's (first polymer centrefire handgun) are still going 100%. And they'll be 40 years old as of 2010! I would wager that a polymer frame will last a good 200 years or so before it becomes "unsafe" to shoot.

Nope. Sorry, don't have any. It was more of a "Hey, look at this" thing, I didn't happen to have a camera with me at the time and I think the owner would be reluctant to let me take photos to demonstrate what happens when stupidity and reloading meet....
