Glock 17 P80 Lower - Let's continue to eliminate it. If you are reading this to find out if the Polymer 80 Glock is easy to build, let me answer you now. So. It is easy to do and I believe anyone can do it. Polymer 80 Glocks are easy to build, and the one I'm currently looking at was made using a small 80, a Dremel, and a hand drill. It took me a few hours and sanding, but now it works like a pro. If you are on the fence, just dive in and do it.
Now that we've got a few quirks out of the way, let's talk about the Polymer 80 Glock I built and give a quick review. The PF940V2 is a full range model that uses Glock 17, 22, 34, 24, 35, 31 or 17L cartridges. Most of us will probably build a Glock 17 or 34. I chose the 17. Now for sale at Rockey Brass!

Polymer 80 Glocks use Gen 3 parts, which are common and easy to find. I went with a Glock 17 display which is a Larry Vickers Special Edition, a Bear Creek Arsenal barrel, and a set of Glock OEM lowers. The Glock kit includes an extended magazine release and bolt lock.

I find the Poly 80 frame to be superior to the Glock OEM frame in many ways. It doesn't have a finger groove which is amazing. It uses a 19-degree 1911 grip angle with a 22-degree Glock grip, which is more comfortable and natural. The rail is a real high quality rail and Glock's amazing rail system. The back of the gun also has a dovetail, which you won't find with an OEM Glock stock. The PF940V2 is the original American Glock.
As you know, it is good in America. All these changes to the lower part of the frame make the Glock more ergonomic and easier to use. The Polymer80 grip is more comfortable for me, but this is, of course, an opinion. It feels more natural, but if you've been using a Glock for years, it might seem strange to you.
One thing I like about the Polymer80 Glock is the addition of the beaver tail. The only problem I have encountered with Glocks is the clip bite. If I hold the gun carefully and hold it, the bolt will bite me with every shot and eventually break the skin. The 80 polymer frame doesn't offer the same bite. The addition of a beaver tail protects you from this and gives you more strength to fight the fog.
If the gun is running reliably, you are unlikely to see a significant difference in accuracy with the Polymer 80. The frame will never affect accuracy. This makes the gun more comfortable to shoot and easier to control. I think the Polymer 80 eliminates a lot of the criticism the Glock gets. Even Glock has eliminated the fingerprint on the new generation of Glock pistols.

The disadvantage of using the wrong system is the secondary market. You lose consistency with multiple holsters and different accessories. Some indoor like triggers will be compatible with each other. However, accessories like magwells will no longer work.
Another disadvantage is reliability. You have to ask yourself, do you trust your skills as a gunsmith? I personally did not. I will not use my Polymer80 Glock as a defensive weapon unless I have to. Although I haven't experienced any reliability issues, I prefer the Glock OEM pistol for defense use. The good news is that you can buy a complete Poly 80 frame, but this will require an FFL transfer on all the parts needed to assemble the gun.
Polymer80 Glock is an interesting project that allows you to make your own weapon. For me, this is just work. For some, this may be the easiest way to legally own a gun. With varying state laws making it increasingly difficult to purchase a handgun, building your own may be your only option. If you're under 21, you can't buy a gun from a gun store, but there's no federal law that prevents you from building your own. Of course, check your state's laws.
