    Nice. I have a Blacklist TiN barrel spec'd out for one of my Poly 80 builds. It's a lot of fun just mapping out the parts for these frames. I got burned out on doing the same with AR's...there are so many AR companies making interesting parts..rails, stocks, triggers, lights, muzzle devices, optics, color combos not to mention all the subcategories with calibers, SBRs, retro, "mission" specific builds, pistol builds etc and hard to keep up with all the latest and greatest that I decided to take a break from ARs and jump on the custom Glock bandwagon. It's kinda the same deal with these Poly 80 builds but on a somewhat smaller scale and it's new to me so having fun learning and building. Still lots of aftermarket options but sticking with the G19 frame doesn't seem as overwhelming...pick a slide, barrel, sights, trigger, customize with some colors, maybe add a magwell, RMR etc just more manageable than the AR scene right now.

    This is why I'm doing it too, I have way to many ARs so I wanted something different to tinker with. So I will soon have way too many Glock pistols.......LOL

    Me too and still have a few pre-2013 lowers sitting in the safe and a few more that are basically complete - only one or two missing pieces. I'm starting to notice these 80% Glock builds can get just as expensive as an AR build when you start going down the full customization road.

    Got to the range this afternoon, and very pleased.

    175 rounds and not one hint of a malfunction.

    Feels much better than a "real" Glock to me and I shoot it better than any of the Glocks I have had, except my G21...



    Makes a nice fireball with some new/old Perfecta ammo too, lol

    OK gen two upper dry cycles great

    New gen3 upper sticks a little and moves the guide rod a little out of place

    Ok pushed the slide stop bar fully into its channel and that seemed to help but this new upper is tight. I hope there’s enough pressure for a full cycle

    I like the front serrations, one of the few things I'd change on a future build.

    I can tell you these little bitches are sharp. While trying to force a break in today i had to put on gloves

    I believe that. That wave serration the M&P's have, even after a LOT of rounds, they're still 'very defined' shall we say.

    Good looking pew pews guys. Mine will be done at some point. Hoping to find an hour or two to finish. I got hosed by ebayer "fuddlebucks". Ordered a set of Night Fison sights an had a $15 off coupon. They never shipped them after 12days. Then they just cancelled it. I'll never use them now.

    That really sucks! Hopefully you can get your $ back.

    They gave me a full refund. I looked at their recent negative feedback, I was expecting them to do it. I don't know why you'd run a business like that. I'm upset that I lost the $15 coupon and a great price on the sights.

    Been busy with life and haven't checked this thread in awhile. So many nice additions since I last checked things out! I've been playing with the trigger in one of my P80s. Replaced the OEM Glock trigger bar and shoe assy with a P80 piece:

    Love the upgrade, trigger shoe feels a million times better than the OEM one. I also polished the hell out of all contact points for the trigger mechanism. I think the trigger in this thing now feels better than the trigger in my VP9.

    I have posted this other places but I'll jump on here
    Only pistol I shoot better right now is my 1911

    Same here. With my "real" G17, I couldn't hit anything with it beyond arm's length, lol. :o

    Did you do (modify) the slide on the one pictured?

    I'd love to mimic that look. It looks like maybe just a whole lot of scuffing?
    I like it. :thumbsup:

    That is a slide I ordered from eBay
    It's a "Nib-x Battleworn"
    I thought it looks kinda neat so I went for it!
