Build Your Glock To Your Specs With the Polymer 80

What Exactly is The Polymer 80?

The polymer 80 is an 80% complete polymer gun frame that allows you to build your gun yourself to your specifications. Many people choose this route if they already know they enjoy Glock guns to improve even further on the flexibility that the brand allows for customization.

Why would someone want to go through the effort to complete a gun themselves when there are already so many types of quality Glocks available? There are a few reasons. Many people rebuild their Glock with accessories no matter the type they purchase to begin with. A self-build allows even more flexibility. A gun you assembled yourself with specialty chosen parts will always be more familiar to you than another. If something goes wrong with your gun, you can easily fix it; this can be vital in many situations. Having an intimate knowledge of all the mechanics and parts of your gun can equate to a piece that lasts much longer than others. But keep in mind that this piece’s reliability depends on the care taken while assembling the remaining 20%.

The perks of a Polymer 80 and self-build include affordability, lightweight polymer material, the great grip texture, ideal relief cuts. The downsides reported include the fact that you will need a specific holster, and if it is not put together perfectly, you may see trigger and aim issues.

Common Questions About A Self-Build With Polymer 80

• What are the legalities of building your own gun? As long as the firearm is for personal use and you do not sell it, it is lawful to build your own Glock from a polymer 80 gun frame, as long as it is indeed legal for you to own a gun in general.
• How do they compare to buying a Glock? It really comes down to the quality of manufacturing you do for the remaining parts at home. When you buy a Glock, the quality is standard. When you buy a kit to build your own or a piece at a time, you may create a high-quality piece, or if you cut corners, you may find your self-build to be substandard.
• What equipment or materials do I need? First, keep in mind that all parts should be Gen 3 or newer to fit the polymer frame. If the parts are Gen three, they should drop right into the frame without further customization. A moveable vice, a Dremel or hand drill, various sandpapers, and needle filers, the other 20% of parts can be available by a kit or piece by piece for ultimate personalization. We offer many of the pieces you need with a warranty here at Ghost Inc.
• Can I build as a beginner? If you have online resources, are willing to learn as you go, and have a basic understanding of how guns work, you should be able to self-build, starting with the Polymer 80.
