About this product
The P80 PF79 Complete Pistol OCS BLK is a discontinued 80% polymer frame pistol kit requiring final machining and assembly. Production has ceased permanently, making this among the final available inventory. These kits ship without serial numbers and require compliance with local regulations.
What is the P80 PF79 Complete Pistol OCS BLK used for?
This kit serves as a custom-build platform for constructing a functional 9mm pistol after completion. It requires approximately 2-3 hours of machining with a drill press and hand tools. Final assembly necessitates basic gunsmithing skills and compatibility verification with aftermarket slides.
How does the P80 PF79 compare to the Polymer80 PF940V2?
The PF79 offers superior rail engagement with 14mm continuous Picatinny versus the PF940V2's 12mm segmented rail. Polymer80's jig system provides better drill bit alignment tolerance at ±0.5mm compared to this kit's ±1.0mm requirement. For first-time builders, the Polymer80 PF940V2 delivers better out-of-box completion experience.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The unfinished frame weighs 283 grams (10 ounces) with overall dimensions of 180mm length × 32mm width × 130mm height. Completed weight with OEM Glock 19 slide assembly averages 620 grams. Frame rail width measures 19.5mm with 106mm spacing between rear anchor points.
Who is this NOT for?
This kit is unsuitable for beginners without access to machining equipment or those in jurisdictions requiring serialized firearms. California residents cannot legally complete this frame without state-mandated serialization through an FFL. The .308 80% Lower – Billet provides better options for rifle builders.
What's in the box?
The kit contains one 80% polymer frame, drilling jig, three drill bits (3mm, 4mm, 6mm), and rear rail module. No locking block, slide parts, or magazine included. Drill bits are carbon steel with approximate 15-cycle lifespan before requiring replacement. Jig alignment pins measure 3.2mm diameter with ±0.1mm tolerance.
Is the P80 PF79 worth it at $489.99?
At $489.99, this kit represents questionable value compared to current market alternatives. A complete Polymer80 PF940SC kit retails for $379 with superior jig design and included locking block. This price reflects scarcity premium rather than feature advantage. Consult warranty coverage limits before purchase consideration.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Glock 19 slides?
- Yes, the PF79 frame accepts standard Gen 3 Glock 19 slides. Rail engagement requires fitting with 800-grit sandpaper for optimal lockup. Slide-to-frame clearance averages 0.25mm after proper finishing.
- Does it fit standard Glock 19 holsters?
- No, unfinished frames require custom holsters due to rail geometry differences. Completed frames with standard rails fit 90% of Glock 19 holsters. Safariland 6378 models provide best retention with modified frames.
- How long does shipping take?
- Shipping requires 7-10 business days with signature confirmation. All shipments use USPS Priority Mail with adult signature requirement. International orders add 14-21 days for customs clearance.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- No returns accepted on 80% frames due to federal regulations. All sales final once packaging is opened. Exchange possible only for manufacturing defects verified within 72 hours.
- Does this work with aftermarket triggers?
- Compatible with most Gen 3 Glock trigger assemblies. Apex Tactical triggers require minor housing modification. Standard connector geometry matches OEM Glock specifications within 0.5mm tolerance.
