Richard,
an option that has worked for me in the past was to buy a Kimber series one gun with alloy frame and use it for a project.
from their website:
Quote:
Kimber aluminum frames are machined from solid blocks of 7075-T7 aluminum to the same critical dimensions as the steel frames. They have been tested to over 20,000 rounds without evidence of meaningful wear.
For example, you can buy a used pro-carry and sell the top end and parts and likely have about $200-250 in the frame which is a very nice quality item, and made in the USA.
