The Lone Wolf Timberwolf TWC Compact/Compact Textured Bare Frame (Lone Wolf part no. LWD-TWC3-BARE) is a pistol frame that fits in the hand like a much smaller pistol. It is built for 9mm, .40 S&W and .357 SIG, and it accepts Gen3 and Gen4 slides for the Glock 19, 23, 32 and 38. The frame ships bare, ready for the builder to add a slide, barrel and parts kit. It is the starting point for a backwoods carry gun, a competition build or a project pistol.

Key Specifications

• The frame is built for 9mm, .40 S&W and .357 SIG pistols, so one frame covers three popular chamberings.
• The TWC-3 accepts Gen3 and Gen4 G19, G23, G32 and G38 slides, which opens up a wide choice of slides.
• A dust cover adapter is included, removed for Gen4 slides and left in place for Gen3 slides.
• The frame has a removable magazine well, which gives the builder more control over how the pistol is set up.
• Interchangeable backstraps let the builder tune the grip size to the shooter’s hand.
• The frame is the Compact/Compact textured version of the TWC, which fits in the hand like a much smaller pistol.
• If you build with your own parts, most are Gen3-style parts, except the magazine catch, locking block and trigger housing, which need Gen4-style parts.
• A matching Timberwolf Compact completion kit is available separately for builders who want the parts in one package.
• The frame is sold bare, with no slide, barrel or parts installed, so it ships to an FFL for the buyer to complete.
