Lone Wolf Distributors
Founded in 1998, Lone Wolf Distributors established itself as a leading Glock accessory supplier. Their production starts with mill run quantities of raw materials with in-house engineers utilizing CAD design exploiting exacting CNC tolerance control during manufacturing. The company’s production is tied to their website, which displays real time, accurate inventory control and allowing the vast majority of orders to process and ship the same day.
For frames, Lone Wolf Distributors offers their Timber Wolf line, revamped to be available in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .357 SIG chamberings in Full Size, Full Size Hybrid, and Compact with several variations. The TWF-F and TWF-C accepts Gen3 and Gen4 Glock 17, 17L, 22, 24, 31, 34, 35, and 37 slides, and TWC-C accepts Gen3 and Gen4 Glock 19, 23, 32, and 38. The TWF-Fuses Glock 17, 22, 31, and 37 magazines, and the TWC-C and TWF-Cuses Glock 19, 23, 32, and 38 magazines.
With a Gen4 slide, remove the installed adapter in the dust cover area of the frame. With Gen3 slides, leave the adapter in place to fill the gap between the slide and dust cover. The TWF and TWC include a dust cover adapter, removable magazine well, and interchangeable backstraps. Custom laser engraved textures are also an option. Lone Wolf Distributors also offers custom slides.
Start with a Signature Series pattern (the configurator has six different base options) or start with a blank and order a Custom Slide with 11 different Model/Generation options. This leads to top transition, rear and front serrations, slide rail bevel, slide melt/blend, front and rear nose profile, and front sight options. The full configurator and options is at LoneWolfDist.com/slideconfig. Alpha Wolf Stainless Steel Billet Extractors offer a more robust replacement to factory MIM extractors.
The granular crystalline structure of MIM extractors are inherently brittle. A machined billet extractor has directional grain that resists failure. A strong linear grain in the crystalline structure of a machined billet part is more malleable. Alpha Wolf extractors are machined from certified 17-4 stainless steel billet, have a black matte finish, and are now black Flash Nitride coated, providing smoother extraction, less friction, and increased durability.
