glock p80 - polymer 80
Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 13.5 oz — 1.2 oz lighter than the Polymer80 PF940V2
- Exact Glock Gen 1 dimensions ensure slide‑fit without filing
- Includes jig pins and alignment tools for a 45‑minute build
Trade-offs
- Requires CNC router or drill‑press – adds equipment cost of $200‑$400
- No pre‑stippled grip texture – finishing adds $40‑$80 if desired
- Not beginner‑friendly; improper machining can affect reliability

About this product
What is the Glock P80 - Polymer 80? It is a ready‑to‑assemble 80% lower frame kit designed to replicate the Glock Gen 1 pistol dimensions using high‑strength polymer. This kit delivers the core geometry of a Glock while allowing the builder to complete the final milling steps in a home workshop.
What is the Glock P80 used for?
It is used to build a functional, compliant Glock‑style pistol for target shooting and competition. The polymer lower reduces overall weight to 13.5 oz (383 g) and pairs with standard Glock slides, providing a legal 80% lower that can be finished with a CNC router or hand drill in about 45 minutes.
How does the Glock P80 compare to the Polymer80 PF940V2?
The Glock P80 is 1.2 oz lighter and offers a more accurate replication of Glock’s slide‑to‑frame fit than the PF940V2, which weighs 14.7 oz and often requires additional filing.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
It weighs 13.5 oz (383 g) and measures 7.4 in (188 mm) length, 1.26 in (32 mm) width, and 0.75 in (19 mm) height, matching the original Glock Gen 1 footprint.
Who is this NOT for?
This kit is not for first‑time builders without basic CNC or drill‑press experience. The final machining requires a 1/8‑in (3.2 mm) end mill and a steady hand; novices may struggle to achieve a flawless slide‑fit.
What's in the box?
The box contains one polymer 80% lower, pre‑drilled jig pins, a set of 4 mm and 6 mm alignment pins, and a printed instruction sheet with torque specs and safety warnings.
Is the Glock P80 worth it at $916.99?
Yes, for shooters who value a true Glock feel and a lighter frame, the price is competitive against a fully assembled Glock Gen 1 (≈$1,200) and includes the flexibility to customize the finish. The cost saves roughly $283 compared to buying a complete firearm.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard Glock slides?
- Yes, the Glock P80 lower mates with any Glock Gen 1 slide, maintaining the original 1.02 in (26 mm) slide‑to‑frame clearance. You can install a standard Glock slide without additional machining.
- Does it fit the Glock 19 trigger group?
- The lower is sized for Glock 17 dimensions, so the Glock 19 trigger group will require a minor adapter plate, typically adding 0.2 in (5 mm) to the trigger reach.
- How long does shipping take?
- Standard domestic shipping averages 3‑5 business days, with expedited options delivering in 1‑2 days. All kits ship with a tracking number for precise monitoring.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days provided the lower is unused and in original packaging. A restocking fee of 15 % applies to cover handling.
- Does this work with a standard Glock polymer grip sleeve?
- Yes, the grip dimensions match Glock’s standard polymer sleeve, which measures 5.2 in (132 mm) in length and 1.3 in (33 mm) in width, allowing a direct swap.
