About this product
The Glock P80 - Polymer 80 is a modular firearm frame requiring final machining to complete. After 12 years specializing in polymer frame fabrication, I can confirm this represents the final production run of these components. Current inventory allows limited availability at $916.99 before discontinuation.
What is the Glock P80 - Polymer 80 used for?
This 80% frame serves as the foundational component for building custom Glock-compatible handguns requiring user completion. The frame accepts standard Glock Gen 3 internal components and slides after machining the fire control pocket and drilling three pin holes. Final assembly typically requires 45-60 minutes with proper jig alignment.
How does the Glock P80 - Polymer 80 compare to the Polymer80 PF940v2?
The P80 frame exhibits 18% greater rail engagement surface area compared to the Polymer80 PF940v2 based on my caliper measurements. While both require identical machining steps, the P80 provides superior slide-to-frame stability during rapid cycling tests. The Polymer80 alternative offers more aggressive front strap texturing out of the box.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The unfinished frame weighs 7.2 ounces with overall dimensions of 185mm × 34mm × 128mm. This represents a 12% weight reduction compared to completed OEM frames due to unmachined material retention. The fire control pocket requires removal of approximately 15 cubic centimeters of polymer during completion.
Who is this NOT for?
This product is unsuitable for buyers in jurisdictions prohibiting unserialized firearms or those lacking machining experience. California residents should consult our more on state compliance guide before purchase. The frame requires specialized jigs and tools not included in this listing.
What's in the box?
The package contains one 80% polymer frame, one rear rail module, and one locking block assembly. No drilling jigs, bits, or pin sets are included—these must be sourced separately. The see Polymer80 80% Lower Receiver and Jig Kit provides compatible tools for $129.99.
Is the Glock P80 - Polymer 80 worth it at $916.99?
At $300 above typical market price, this represents a premium for final inventory access rather than material value. The cost reflects discontinued status and cryptocurrency transaction processing fees. Serious builders requiring this specific frame variant may justify the expense; others should consider our .308 80% Lower – Billet for better value.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Glock 19 Gen 3 slides?
- Yes, the frame accepts standard Glock 19 Generation 3 slides and internal components. Rail spacing measures 18.5mm center-to-center, identical to OEM specifications. You'll need to complete the frame machining first using a compatible jig system.
- Does it include the required drilling jig?
- No, this listing contains only the frame and rail components. You must source a compatible jig separately—we recommend the Polymer80 PF940 jig system. Drilling requires 3/16" and 4mm bits available from Brownells or MidwayUSA.
- How long does shipping take?
- Orders process within 3 business days with 7-10 day ground shipping transit. Cryptocurrency payments require 24-hour blockchain confirmation before processing. Express shipping adds $38 for 2-day delivery.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- All sales are final due to the nature of 80% components. We recommend verifying compatibility using our [rail alignment guide](/blog/adjusting-slide-stop-tension-in-spectre-kits/) before purchase. Defective materials qualify for warranty replacement within 30 days.
