Then again, KSC and KWA Glock 19 frames are TOTALLY different, weight and material (and quality), and some KSC have the Japan stamp on the frame somewhere, others don't. So I'm really not sure if they are the asme company or even related, KSC could be also Taiwan based for assembly, totally separate from KWA.
