About this product
The Polymer80 PF-Series Full Pistol Frame Parts Kit is a complete internal components set for PF940v2, PF940C, and PF940SC frame assemblies. It provides all necessary parts for a functional 9mm pistol build with multiple configuration options. This kit eliminates the need for separate parts sourcing across different frame models.
What is the Polymer80 PF-Series Parts Kit used for?
This parts kit installs trigger, safety, and control components into Polymer80's 80% frames to create functional pistols. It works with three frame sizes—full-size, compact, and subcompact—through interchangeable slide lock springs. The kit includes both curved and flat trigger shoes for ergonomic preference customization.
How does the Polymer80 PF-Series Parts Kit compare to Lone Wolf Distributors' internal kits?
The Polymer80 kit offers better frame compatibility across multiple sizes versus Lone Wolf's single-frame kits. Where Lone Wolf kits typically cost $180-220 and only fit specific models, this $165 kit serves three frame types with spring options. Polymer80's dual trigger shoe inclusion provides immediate ergonomic choice without additional purchase, though Lone Wolf connectors may offer slightly cleaner trigger break at 4.5-5.0 pounds versus Polymer80's consistent 5.5-pound pull weight.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The complete parts kit weighs 142 grams (5.0 ounces) in its packaging. Components fit within a 6.5 x 4.5 x 1.5 inch plastic case, with the heaviest single part being the trigger housing at 28 grams. For reference, our .308 80% Lower – Billet weighs 850 grams due to its aluminum construction.
Who is this NOT for?
This kit is unsuitable for completed Glock frames or other manufacturers' models due to proprietary dimensions. Builders seeking competition-grade triggers should look to aftermarket options, as these are OEM-spec components rated for 10,000 rounds. Those needing California-compliant configurations will require additional parts, as detailed in our warranty coverage guide.
What's in the box?
The kit contains 17 individual components: flat trigger shoe, curved trigger shoe, trigger safety, trigger bar, trigger spring, trigger housing, 9mm ejector, connector, magazine release, magazine release spring, slide lock lever, compact slide lock spring, full-size slide lock spring, subcompact slide lock spring, slide catch lever, trigger pin, and locking block pin. This covers all internal parts except the slide, barrel, and magazine.
Is the Polymer80 PF-Series Parts Kit worth it at $165?
Yes, for builders needing multiple frame compatibility or who prefer having trigger options immediately available. The $165 price represents a $35-55 savings over purchasing individual components separately. For single-frame builds, dedicated kits at $140-150 may offer better value, but the versatility here justifies the premium for multi-platform builders.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Glock 17 Gen 5 frames?
- No, this kit only works with Polymer80's PF940v2, PF940C, and PF940SC frames. Gen 5 Glock frames use different internal dimensions and component specifications that are not cross-compatible. Use OEM Glock parts for factory frames.
- Does this work with aftermarket triggers?
- Yes, the kit components interface with most aftermarket triggers from brands like Agency Arms and Overwatch Precision. The trigger housing and bar dimensions match Glock spec, allowing drop-in compatibility. Test fitment before final assembly.
- How long does installation take?
- Complete installation requires approximately 45-60 minutes with proper tools. The process involves 17 components across 4 main assembly steps. Use our <a href="/blog/adjusting-slide-stop-tension-in-spectre-kits/">slide stop tension guide</a> for optimal spring setup.
- Are these parts serialized or require FFL transfer?
- No, internal parts kits are not serialized and ship directly to most states. Only the 80% frame itself requires serialization in certain jurisdictions. Check local laws—California requires serialization before frame completion.
- Does it include a striker assembly?
- No, this kit contains only lower frame components. The striker, extractor, and other slide parts must be purchased separately. You'll need a complete slide assembly or individual upper parts for a functioning pistol.
