Happy to help, glad it worked out. I don’t think the credit is mine though as I just have one of those memories and knew I had seen a hell of a deal up thread...
In either case - pix or it didn’t happen

Word on the street is that we should see the p80 43 coming out this summer hopefully. I’m hopefully for a July 4th drop, maybe even a Memorial Day??

Posting a couple of the latest. This one is just a new slide/barrel and borrowed sights (not installed yet in the pic) and the slide internals from another build:
When I saw the Warhawk slide from Steel City Arsenal I just had to have it. Growing up building WWII fighter models, the P-40, P-51, P-38 etc. Yeah, it was right down my alley. Barrel is a Victory First from Brownells.
Next is a SC build.
Combat Armory G26 match barrel isn't pictured but was recently installed. Had some extra Ameriglo sights that I slapped on it. Slide is a Wuelf and not currently listed on their site. Stock G26 slide internals from Midway. First range trip was this past Sunday and I had a lot of FTE and stovepipes. I need to polish the rails to see if I can sort that out.

Can anyone give me a reason to keep the red jig after completing the build? I have a habit of keeping things, thinking I might need them one day, only to find it years later, wondering why I kept it!

Yeah, totally agree. Of course they came out with other colors after I had already bought mine. I'd love to get a Bazooka green one now.
Yes, I opted for FDE cerakote and I'm pretty pleased with it. I've never had anything cerakoted before so I can't really compare it to anything else but I'm happy with the quality of the job and the slide itself.

Nope. It's not heavy enough to be a decent paperweight.

Can you give some examples of "hot" ammo?

Some +p rounds or reloaded rounds that maybe packed on the heavier side grainwise

First Poly80 Build
Hey everyone...
I did my first Poly80 build Thursday and I am surprised that I was able to do it so easily. I am NOT the handy type of person I wish I was.
I utilized videos on YouTube and the instructions from the website and it went well. However, I am having difficulty with the trigger sticking and not resetting after a dry fire. Does anyone have ideas?
I am not sure how to start to explain what is going wrong but maybe some of the nice folks on this forum can extract the info with the right questions.
Thanks!

I had a problem just like that, it turned out to be the upper was out of spec. Is is a factory upper? Mine was not. I emailed whoever I got it from (aftermarket) they replaced it. Also rack the hell out of it, like several hundred times.

Yes it is a factory upper from Glock. I will rack the hell out of it and continue to look for things I need to sand down or adjust. Thanks for the help.

Try some polishing compound. I used some from the auto parts store for chrome rims. Then racked bout 167 times and cleaned it up and put a little Mobil 1 on rails. Go to range and load up 100 rounds of +P ammo and have fun !

Sweet! Thanks for the info. Is there any particular polishing compound that you recommend? How about ammo? It was quite an investment to get this done and I don’t want to mess it up!
Thanks—this forum has been helpful... I am new to the gun scene, but I am enjoying the culture!

Any higher grain ammo will help with cycling out some of the reliability issues. Standard +p rounds will do. On the flip side, you can just run with a bit cleaner rounds (no bucket of ammo grade stuff) and it will work itself out.
Polishing compounds, I like Mother’s or simichrome

You could rent it out for $20 for a week. I'd think you could get your money back and more in a few months.
