P80 Full Size Slide Assembly – PF940v2/PFS9 – Black - polymer 80
About this product
What is the P80 Full Size Slide Assembly?
The P80 Full Size Slide Assembly is a complete, drop-in slide system designed for Polymer80 PF940v2 and PFS9 frames, finished in black. It includes all necessary internal components pre-assembled for immediate installation. This assembly requires no additional parts or gunsmithing, making it ideal for builders seeking a straightforward upgrade.
What is the P80 Full Size Slide Assembly used for?
This slide assembly is used to complete a Polymer80 PF940v2 or PFS9 frame build without sourcing individual components. It functions as the upper receiver, housing the barrel, recoil spring, and firing mechanism. The assembly is pre-tested for reliability and drop-fit compatibility, reducing build time by approximately 45 minutes compared to piecing parts separately.
How does the P80 Full Size Slide Assembly compare to a ZEV Technologies Z320 slide?
The P80 slide assembly costs $415, while a comparable ZEV Technologies Z320 slide retails for $650 without internal components. The P80 option is more cost-effective for budget-conscious builders but lacks the ZEV's precision-machined stainless steel construction and enhanced slide serrations. For high-volume shooters, the ZEV offers marginally better heat dissipation and longevity, but the P80 performs adequately for most recreational use.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The slide assembly weighs 14.2 ounces and measures 7.3 inches in length, 1.1 inches in width, and 1.3 inches in height. These dimensions ensure compatibility with standard holsters designed for full-size Glock-style pistols. The weight distribution contributes to reduced muzzle flip during rapid fire compared to heavier aftermarket slides.
Who is this NOT for?
This assembly is not for users seeking a custom-machined or lightweight competition slide. It lacks optional optic cuts, weighing 2.1 ounces more than a milled ZEV slide. Builders requiring California-compliant serialization must use a separately purchased, serialized frame like the Fire/Safe Marked Lower.
What's in the box?
The box contains one complete slide assembly, one recoil spring assembly, one barrel, and all necessary internal components pre-installed. No additional tools or parts are required for installation. The packaging includes a desiccant packet to prevent corrosion during storage or shipping.
Is the P80 Full Size Slide Assembly worth it at $415?
At $415, this assembly is worth it for builders prioritizing convenience and reliability over customization. It eliminates the need to source and fit individual components, saving approximately $120 compared to buying parts separately. However, for those seeking advanced features like optic mounting, consider milling services detailed in this technical guide.

Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 14.2 oz — balanced for reduced muzzle flip
- Pre-assembled — saves 45 minutes of build time versus part-by-part assembly
- Drop-fit compatible — no gunsmithing required for PF940v2/PFS9 frames
Trade-offs
- No optic cuts — requires third-party milling costing $80-$120
- Black finish shows wear after 500 rounds — less durable than cerakote options
- Recoil spring rated for 5,000 rounds — shorter lifespan than some aftermarket springs

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Polymer80 PF940v2 frames?
- Yes, it is fully compatible with Polymer80 PF940v2 and PFS9 frames. No modification is required for drop-fit installation. Ensure your frame is properly drilled using a 3/8-inch bit as specified in the jig instructions.
- Does it fit Glock 17 holsters?
- Yes, the slide dimensions match a Glock 17, so it fits most holsters designed for that model. Test fit with your specific holster, as retention may vary slightly due to finish differences.
- How long does shipping take?
- Shipping typically takes 3-5 business days within the continental US via FedEx Ground. International orders may require 10-14 days and are subject to local customs regulations.
