I've got another early v1 Poly 80 Spectre 940 that I'm going to build tomorrow.  It has been sitting in the box since 2016 waiting for me to get around to it.  Finally ordered a LWD lower parts kit.  I will have to order a barrel, slide and upper parts kit next.  Planning on doing this one in 9x19mm,

Slide came in the mail today so I now have the upper completely assembled except for the sights which haven't been delivered yet.  Planning on starting milling out the lower tomorrow.  The parts kits came in on Fri.

Does anyone know what steel is used for the Rock Slide USA slides?  The only thing I have found on their website is that they are Cerakoated in whatever color, but curious as to the rest of the stats on the slide  steel, coatings and their barrel steel and coatings.

Rock slide is Stainless steel.

That's all you have?

Seriously, that is an impressive collection. I don't understand why Glock doesn't make them like that to start off with. The added beaver tail makes the biggest difference to me.

Why does that relieve you, corrosion resistance or strength? At work we only use 28ksi for yield strength on 304/316 SS. Even cheap carbon plate is 36ksi. On AR bolts no one cares about corrosion,it's all about strength and fatigue. I soak mine in Mobil 1 before re-assembly, albeit infrequently.

No end mills starting this year. Never used them. Use tin snips a file.

I just use a zacto or case cutter (zacto is better) on the sides of the frame. Then snips and file for spring slot.

I got my OD green frame finished the other day. Two 15 round P-Mags and one Glock 17 mag. I ordered three KCI Glock 19 mags. Does anyone know if the HYVE baseplate will fit a KCI? (That is just Flitz on the dust cover. I didn't notice it until I uploaded to IMGUR).

I have a Zaffiri Precision getting Cerakoted this weekend Partiot Brown. I will post another pic when I get it together.

I don’t have Hyve baseplates, but I do have KCI mags and factory mags and the basepates are identical. I have a Dawson baseplate on one KCI mag and a couple of factory +2 baseplates on others and they all work fine.

Just finished this 23c. My first. Taking it out tomorrow for 100 rounds.

I definitely learned a few things that I could do differently/better next time. I also didn't find MGB until after I had started, but thankfully I didn't screw anything up.

after assembly I noticed the slide was pretty tight so I went back in and  removed/cleaned up the channel a little bit and the slide lock spring wasn't fully seated in the front.  After those two things were done it was much better. I also racked it about 300 times and used frog lube. I'm pretty happy with it.

EDIT: I took it out today and put 135 rounds through it. I had 1 Failure to feed in the first mag, and 2 light strikes in the first 30 rounds. I had a hand full of times where the slide didn't fully seat into battery but it was about 99% of the way there and just took a little offhand thumb nudge to seat. I took it apart cleaned and lubed it, racked it a few more times and then had no more issues. All in all I'm pretty happy with it. It'll continue to be a range only gun until I get a few hundred more rounds through it and feel completely confident with having no issues. I'm also going to diamond bit some burs and imperfections, and green bit polish the channel a little more.

EDIT #2: i got it home ran back through it with diamond bit and then polishing bits and mothers polish at the end. I then racked it a few hundred more times just to be thorough. Took it back out for another hundred rounds and it was flawless.  At some point I was just able to enjoy it without concern. To say I'm very happy would be an under statement. I have a real sense of accomplishment.

A couple budget builds

The 17 has OEM parts kits on the upper and lower, a Swenson slide and barrel, a set of OEM sights and the Streamlight. This is earmarked to be a HD gun.

The 19 has OEM parts kits on the upper and lower, a Thompson Leh CITADEL slide, an OEM gen 4 barrel that was a new take off that I picked up on eBay and a set of AmeriGlo GL-433 Hackathon sights. This will mostly be a range gun.

very nice! Have they been broken in yet? Any issues with either thus far?

I finished a 23c in coyote last weekend, and have another new 19/23/32 frame in black that I was thinking about what I want to do with or trading for a 17/22 frame.

Thank you

Me too. 1976 to 1980, Semper fi

They have been to the range 2 times along with breaking in another pistol as well as sighting in a rifle and breaking that in as well. About 150 rounds through each. The 19 has run flaw free from the start and other than the front sight loosening/needing to be thread locked/tightened nothing to report. The 17 has had 2 instances of failing to lock the slide to the rear after the last shot with no other malfunctions. Extremely happy. Looking for fast break in and into service.

How did the 23c run? Lot of good choices for the 19 frame. Plenty of good ones for a 17 frame as well. Enjoy the build.

ETA:

I was just looking through the above posts. Our builds have a similar look. Great minds.

scroll up from your first post about 6 and there's mine. It had a few minor issues but nothing too bad. It was better than I expected for the first time out and I'm very happy with it so far after about 135 rounds. May go put another 100-200 tomorrow.

Be safe and again, nice job!

It's not an exact match, but cobalt goes nicely with midnight bronze.

If you’ve subscribed to this thread and are thinking about getting a P80, now might be a good time to jump in despite the higher than normal pricing.

I've read to stay with OEM glock parts. Is this not the case? I found a OEM glock lpk on gun broker... for $200.

I posted this one, the last one I finished and am loving it. It's a Glock 23c with a NiT barrel, and I've also added a 9mm barrel and a 357 sig barrel for it.


I have another untouched black p80 PF940CV1 frame and oem 23 lpk that I've been deciding what to do. Build it or hold on  to it for awhile.  now I'm thinking about  posting it in the trade for the same but in another color. I'm kind of digging the gray and the od green but not sure which way to go next. Anyone have one for trade they can shoot me pics of?
