CMM 208 1911 frame adapter

I received an email back from CMM shooting sports. He said interest has declined over the years for the 208 style 1911 frame adapters. He does not think he will make another batch but said he would if he got 20-25 shooters who express interest in buying. Not a firm commitment, just reasonable assurance that you’d purchase if they were made. 

So now may be your last chance to get one. He asks that you email him at info@cm-machine.com to put your name on the list. I think we can get 20 more. Who’s with me?

All years is the same, they know about lot of people requesting these adapters. The Product is excellent and the beavertail for 208s is a very nice too.

From his email to me, he only has 3 on the list. The demand has slowed, I suspect that most people that wanted one have already gotten one and since they aren’t produced anymore there isn’t many new customers looking for them.

I have a Pair of these adapters, are the best of the best.

You can also just buy the slab grips that Redfeather carries, they are made by Rink and feel great in the hand, very close to the feel of a 1911. The CMM guys are something else, if they would look at the commercial row here there's probably a dozen people a years just doing WTB ads to find them. I'm always surprised that bullseye vendors don't participate more in this forum.

Bump this up

I would take 2 of them.  I don't find the Red Feather version to be nearly as nice.  I don't like mine and much prefer the CMM version.

Email them so we can get them made

Just emailed them to commit to at least 2 adapters.

I emailed to add one to the list. I'm happy with my Readfeather/Rink grips but am open to try it. I'm in love with my 208S I got last winter, by far my favorite 22 I've ever had so I don't see me selling it anytime soon but I'll have this pistol till I croak and I'm only 37, CMM may not be around forever.

I’ve handled a few Xesse’s with his kit and they are great quality. I like the metal and ability to add grip tape to it easily.

I just heard back from CMM that they have added me to the list and will let me know if more are built.  Keep emailing them your interest.

I emailed the company last months and forgot to update. Currently sitting at 11 commitments to order. About halfway there. If you’d like one in the future, please email the email from the original post and express your interest to get on the list. It may be the last run he makes of them.

I sent email for 2

Is the 208 the same adapter as the xesse?

No. But he’s typically had the Xesse adapter in stock. But folks slowed down ordering the 208 version so he stopped making them and is waiting to have enough people signed up to make a run. He is worried he will make it and they won’t sell evidently.

I just emailed them to put my name on the list. I spoke to him on the phone last year and im not sure if im one of the 11. They are the best . Hopefully they will make more soon

Thanks for adding to the list.

I just sent him an email and got confirmation

Just refreshing this, hoping for a little more interest. If you email info@cm-machine.com and ask to be put on the list for the 208 grip adapter, then we can reach the number he needs to make an order.

I sent an email also, but did not get a reply.

Please resend and ensure he received it. He seems to have replied to myself and others when emailing. Thanks

As of a little more than a week ago, he was at 16 on the list. We are getting closer. If you have a 208, 208S, 215 and wish to have a quality 1911 style grip on it; please email the below to add yourself to the list. 
info@cm-machine.com

I wasn't sure if I was on their list so I emailed them on Feb 9 and just got a reply. They said they are slowly adding to the list and will probably get there in a few months. Hopefully it will come quickly.

I might be interested, but what exactly is a "frame adapter"?
Why might I want one?
