I have the same experience as Ed with the real rails seeming just a bit off. I brought the gun out today anyway. Assembled with a stock G19 upper. I put 7 mags thru it, only had 1 FTRTB on the first mag. Shot UMC, Federal red box, and sig jhp's. grouped better than with my G 19 without any middle finger pain. Shot 1 mag in the G 19 after just to compare-immediate finger pain, and my grouping opened up substantially. This P80 is my new fave!

Finished my pf940c this week, all stock except Apex trigger. Cut the 4 tabs with an exacto knife, and the U cut with a Dremel. Sanded and finished it be hand. Feels good, hopefully will shoot it soon. Will try to post pics soon.

It wasn't bad, maybe 20 min a tab, just scored it and kept going at it in the same groove. With Dremel I was afraid I'd accidentally go to deep, and I don't have a vice for the drill press to use the endmill bit. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I did one by cutting tabs with red hot tip of a kitchen knife. Just cause)))
Turned it to 100% in about 40min. |

On my compact (19 size) which has run 100% solid at the range since the second range trip (had a couple bobbles in the first few rounds on the first trip) I have been dry firing it a bunch at home and have recently found that it doesn't reset the trigger about 50% of the time when hand-cycling after dry firing.
It is more likely to reset if I pull the slide to the rear and let go (slingshot) vs riding it home. It remains reliable at the range... no failures to reset under live fire at all. Any suggestions as to what I should look at to see about correcting this issue? |

Just received my Polymer80 Compact lower via USPS from Mag Commander. (Will post pics when completed) All is accounted for and it only took 3 days shipping. I received an email for repeat buyers knocking around $50 off the price of another, still free shipping I believe. Total cost on another would be around $118. First time using them, and their prices on what they actually specialize in selling is pretty damn good from what I can see.
Mag Commander, GTG! |

Take a look at the trigger spring, it should look like this. Proper trigger spring placement I had the same issue. Just replaced that spring with a new one out of the parts bin and double checked it again. Now it'll reset if I slingshot or ride home, but it will not reset if I hold the trigger back as I cycle the slide... so riding the reset appears to be out of the question. Trigger stays dead if I hold it to the rear now. Odd. |

So, the plot thickens.

Just finished up my 80% build this week. I really love the lower- much better than the Glock stocker IMO. Between that and the upgraded trigger I'm a way bigger fan of this platform now although not sure you can really even call it a Glock anymore at this point.

Never heard of the Swenson slides before, but they look just about identical to the Dasan Machineries slides that Lonewolf used to sell before they changed to their Alphawolf lineup.
I'm just guessing here, but it looks to me that Midway (or whoever) is having these slides made for them by Dasan. I have a few of the Dasan-made Lonewolf slides, and so far I have been pretty happy with them - they seem like a well made product. So if these Midway slides are indeed made by Dasan, they should be GTG. |

It's just the standard textured frame- I didn't mod one of the plain frames. The grip is awesome, it would be very difficult to improve on it with a custom stipple job on their ready-mod frame IMO. Could maybe see stippling the accelerator cut area on the already textured frame but the ledge sticks out enough that I don't think it's necessary. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Got my second P80 compact frame together with a stainless Lone Wolf/Dasan .40/357 slide, with a 357 barrel...shoots great, accurate, cycles well, but CONSTANT brass to face. I need to check if Lone Wolf actually sent a .40 extractor or not, I guess
I'm one of the lucky ones who's never had a Glock throw brass backwards at me until now, so this is new to me...holy cow does it chuck .357 brass with some authority
Shit hurts, too 
Near as I can figure it's actually hitting the mag feed lips and punting itself out using those, I think...I wasn't really able to diagnose/debug the problem last night, I'll be doing that tonight. Other than that though - the frame's gripping surfaces worked really well for something with a bit more energetic recoil than a 9mm; if it were a Gen 3 or even Gen 4 frame I'm pretty sure it would have just slid around under recoil. The P80 frame hung tight. |

To test that 'hitting the mag feed lips' idea, single load a round, drop the mag and fire it... does it eject the same way or a different angle? If there's no mag for the brass to hit, it should go a different way... assuming it's hitting the feedlips. |

That works with 1911s...not so much with Glocks. 50/50 chance of it exiting the ejection port in a random direction, or down the grip. Glocks are notorious for not working like anyone would expect without a mag in it... Quote HistoryQuoted:

If there's no mag for the brass to hit, it should go a different way... assuming it's hitting the feedlips. I got a couple of pieces of brass falling on top of my head, but for the most part it was over my right shoulder, over 100 rounds. I inspected the brass after my first range trip and the ejector was striking nearly on the primer; it was really close to the primer pocket. Since it was trying to punch it straight out the front, of course some of it would kick straight back at me...bending the ejector out to the left is forcing it to pivot in the extractor more, so it now tends to go at least a bit more to the right. I'm probably going to have to order a second ejector and housing (since I can't seem to find an ejector being sold by itself anywhere) because I'm afraid if I bend this one any more I might break it, and I'm not done testing to see how far I should bend it
