Smaller grip adapter is for G19 mags, longer grip adapter is for G17 mags.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WIZZO_ARAKM14: Ok, I understand that no adapter would yield G19 length mags. The next adapter would yield G17 length mags. What the hell is the 2nd adapter for? Am I wrong in the assumption that you can use the bare frame for G19 mags and actually need the small adapter for the 19's? Looks to me like you need the short adapter for 19 mags and long for 17 mags. Hopefully I’ll be able to confirm physically soon. |

I pre-ordered early.
I probably should order the parts to finish the build.

Right now my plan is to strip the parts from my first P80 build. It works, but is pretty rough. I can always build it back up when parts are available again at reasonable prices. |

Yep, I also have a P80 build that didn't turn out as "clean" as I would have liked, I can rob parts from it. |

The GST-9 really interests me since it can use standard Glock holsters.
Does anyone have concerns about it’s durability? What material is it printed from? |

Initial thoughts-
Jig is very sturdy. Bolt together design assures that nothing will move. Frame 'snaps' into the jig and nests perfectly. Finished it to 100% in 15 minutes- and I did not hurry. Recoil spring channel material was much easier to finish than a Polymer 80, since the material that needs to be removed is at the end of the channel near the muzzle. Whatever they used to construct the frame seems a bit softer and less brittle than the compound P80 uses. Now for assembly.... |

It's raining here, so I only ran two mags through it. (G17 OEM mags)
'Ran like a clock. I need to run a few hundred more rounds for a full assessment, but so far I'm impressed. I think I can confidently recommend this frame to anyone who had 'bad luck' with a Polymer80 frame. Don't get me wrong, I love the P80's, but they have their quirks. This thing gets a 10 out of 10. There isn't anything I don't like about it so far. -Yes, those are factory Glock "put the drop in the bucket" sights on this build. (steel, not plastic) I'm one of the what seems to be the few Glockers that actually like the OEM sight configuration. |

Can you post three photos...one looking at the gun from the rear, assembled....one looking at the frame from the side with the slide removed...one looking at the frame from the slide face, with the slide removed...please?
I'd like to see how the configuration compares to the Polymer 80 frame before I buy another. I figured I'd give the 80% Arms kit a year to sort out but if they have their act together, I might jump sooner. Thanks |

The grip texture (or lack there of) is a no-go for me.
Hopefully a gen 2 has texture on the entire grip instead of just the middle. |

You mean a P80 frame with a goofy ass trigger guard that doesn’t fit any holster? Or a stock Glock that needs a grip reduction, undercut, finger groove removal, and stippling to be worth a shit? |

MR920/918 Frames are great. Nomad Defense Frames look pretty solid. I'm glad we have another 80% Glock frame on the market, but slick plastic on 1/2 the grip in 2020 is unacceptable. I'f I'm going to modify, i'm going to modify a OEM frame. |

Quoted: It wouldn’t exactly be comfortable with the lower half if the back strap missing anyway... If they made it 26 length, a simple filler for the back strap could be used Quoted: I'm sure this was not their intention so how did they screw it up? Why only make a frame for 2/3 sizes, especially when they're so close to getting 3/3. The modular frame is what sets this aftermarket frame apart from others. They're almost there. Hopefully they continue to refine their design. |

Out of the dozen pistols I've owned, including this frame from 80% Arms- I've never had and issue with the grips, and I've shot in lots of different conditions- hot/cold, wet/dry, sweaty hands, etc... The texturing on this grip, even though it does not cover the whole grip- is sufficient. It feels good in the hand. To each their own I guess. Maybe somebody needs to do some grip strength training |
