Is this kit considered a firearm?
No. This kit does not include a serialized firearm frame. The included Polymer80 frame is an unfinished receiver blank, legally not a firearm. It requires completion using the provided jig and tools before it can be used with the included upper components. Always consult local and state laws regarding the manufacturing and ownership of firearms.
What tools and skills are required for assembly?
Basic mechanical aptitude and common workshop tools are needed. The kit includes the necessary jig and drill bits for the frame. You will need a hand drill or drill press, a hobby vise, hammer, and punches. Numerous detailed video guides are available online. Patience and careful attention to instructions are the most critical skills for a successful build.
What generation Glock parts does it use?
The P80 PF940CL is designed around the ubiquitous Gen 3 Glock 17 platform. It is compatible with the vast majority of aftermarket Gen 3 slides, barrels, and internal components. This ensures unparalleled access to upgrades for triggers, sights, and performance enhancements from a wide array of manufacturers.
Is the slide complete and ready to install?
Yes. This is a complete pistol kit. The upper assembly includes a finished FDE slide, a threaded barrel, and a fully assembled upper parts kit (springs, guide rod, striker, etc.). It is ready to be paired with your completed lower frame assembly without the need for additional slide parts.
