Product Overview
The Polymer80 PF940Cv1™ 80% Compact Frame and Jig Kit is a precision-engineered platform for the experienced firearms enthusiast. Designed as a Glock® 19/23 Gen 3 compatible frame, this kit provides the core component for a custom compact pistol build. It is crafted for individuals who value the personalization, understanding, and satisfaction that comes from completing a firearm project themselves. This is not a functioning firearm; it is an 80% receiver that requires machining, assembly, and finishing by the end-user. The primary use is to create a personalized, reliable semi-automatic pistol for lawful purposes such as recreational shooting, home defense, and as a detailed technical project for those interested in firearm mechanics.
Key Features
- Complete Frame and Jig Kit: Includes the 80% polymer frame, a precision-machined aluminum jig, and all necessary drill bits. The jig ensures proper alignment for the milling and drilling operations required to complete the frame to a 100% state.
- Enhanced Ergonomic Design: Features an extended beavertail and pronounced thumb ledge for superior hand placement and recoil management. The double-undercut trigger guard allows for a higher, more comfortable grip, enhancing overall control.
- Optimized Grip Geometry: Polymer80 engineers have updated the traditional grip angle from 22 degrees to a modern 18 degrees. This modification can improve pointability and comfort for many shooters, aligning more naturally with the human wrist.
- Factory-Style Grip Texture: The frame comes with an aggressive, molded-in grip texture that provides a secure, non-slip surface without being overly abrasive, ensuring a firm hold in various conditions.
- Glock® Gen 3 Compatibility: Guaranteed to work with standard Glock® 19/23 Generation 3 slides, barrels, and internal parts kits. This ensures wide parts availability and simplifies the sourcing process for your build.
- Durable Polymer Construction: Made from a high-strength, glass-reinforced polymer, the frame offers a lightweight yet robust foundation, finished with stainless steel locking block and rail inserts for durability and reliable slide operation.
Performance & Applications
This kit is designed for specific, lawful applications that cater to the technically-minded shooter. Its performance is directly tied to the quality of the completion process and the components selected for the final assembly.
Customized Carry or Home Defense Platform: Once completed with a slide, barrel, and internal parts kit, the PF940Cv1™ serves as the foundation for a highly personalized compact pistol. The ergonomic enhancements—like the thumb ledge and undercut trigger guard—allow the user to build a firearm tailored specifically to their hand for potential use in defensive scenarios, where comfort and control under stress are paramount. The compatibility with proven Glock® Gen 3 parts ensures a high degree of reliability when assembled correctly.
Advanced Gunsmithing and Technical Hobby Project: For the individual interested in the mechanical intricacies of semi-automatic pistols, this kit represents an engaging hands-on project. The process of using the jig to accurately drill and mill the frame, followed by the assembly of all components, provides deep, practical understanding of firearm function. It is an application focused on education, skill development, and the accomplishment of building a functional tool from a near-finished state.
Recreational Range and Competition Use: The improved ergonomics and customizable nature of the platform make it suitable for recreational target shooting or entry into certain action pistol sports. The ability to fine-tune components like triggers and sights allows shooters to optimize the pistol for accuracy and handling in a dynamic shooting environment.
