What is the difference between the v1 and the v1.5 full size frames?

I was going to pull the trigger on the Brownells "deal" when I noticed they list them as v1...  is that why they are cheaper?

Think there be a v2 in the future that will have metal rear rails like the compact models?

What is the highest round count you have heard on a polymer 80 glock lower?

Thanks

Another dealer has mentioned how P80 is blowing out the V1 models right now, and V2 models are coming soon. V2 models will be very similar to the compact version with metal rear rails, different grip (no finger grooves?), textured and plain/stipple ready models, and serialization plate.

Where did you hear this?  Last I heard, P80 said they don't have anything coming out for a while and the current full sized frames are still in production...despite nearly every retailer selling out of their stock and not replenishing.

So what is the difference between v1 and v1.5 then?

Woah I didn't realize P80 had released the compact frames!  That's awesome!

P80 got no plans to release full size version with metal rear rails.
P80 got no version 1 or version 2 full frames.
P80 got no plans to discontinue current full frame.

I personally asked them on Instagram. And that were the answers.

Midway lists the full-size frames they have left as V1.5. Someone is fibbing.
I wonder how the "no plans to discontinue" line squares with the fact that every place that sells them is having a firesale with no plans for replenishment. Either everyone suddenly got a hate-on for those frames, there's a massive problem in production and or distribution, or P80 is lying.

The v1.5 frames are more expensive then the v1 frames, well, at least from what I have seen, but I could be wrong.

Has P80 said, or does anyone know what is the difference between v1 and v1.5 full size frames are?

Think the ATF is on their case behind the scenes with the full size glock frames and they are just blowing it all out and will quit production?  Just saying the ATF has been going rogue on a lot of things lately it seems, solvent traps, wipes, engraving pin locations, etc...
