Polymer 80

Any P80 builders here?

I've had one in the box it came in for about 2 years now.
Does that count?

I have a regular 80 that is basically a paperweight in m safe for over 2 years now! I need to get a jig and a router!

I had planned to build 2 but my eyes and shaky hands are no longer up to precision machining anymore. They make excellent paperweights in my safe.

I have a p80 g43 that's complete and fires.
Used stock parts from my stock g43 that was upgraded to aftermarket parts to build it.

I started because my son wanted us to have 10 mm for deer. My build-addictive personality got hooked… I’ve added a couple since this was taken.

Not yet - I've considered building in the past. I went away from Glock (and thus Glock clones) for a good long time, but like a bad habit, I'm back on the Glock bandwagon. My duty pistol (armed security monkey for a private school) is a Glock 34 that wears a Horosun 509T and a TLR-9 (until I save my sheckles for an X300 Ultra or Turbo / or a CloudDefensive pistol light, if it ever makes it to market). I added a Magpul magwell to it, and swapped the trigger bar from my Glock 17 into it, as the G17 came with an Apex trigger shoe on a polished Glock bar. Left the factory "minus" connector in it.

My G-17 is a gen 4 that came with Trijicon sights, and for a short time I had the factory Glock shoe trigger and trigger bar in it, because I switched the Apex into my duty gun. Last week I installed a Lone Wolf trigger with Lone Wolf trigger bar and their version of the "minus" connector, and I replaced the striker spring - as this particular G17 belonged to a Harris County deputy before he traded it with me, and it had been his duty gun and had enough rounds through it that it was on its 2nd recoil spring, and he wore the mag springs out. So that gun got all new springs. I tried Lone Wolf's heavier 6lb striker spring, but didn't like how heavy and gritty that made the trigger feel. I installed their medium weight spring, and found that it reduced the trigger pull by at least a full pound, and took away the gritty feel. Now its got a break of give or take 4.5lbs (I am running the 6lb trigger spring in addition to that striker spring mentioned earlier) This gun came with the Magpul magwell installed. It also has an extended slide stop lever, because I hate the Glock flush lever. It came with an Agency replacement barrel, but I run the factory barrel in it. No real need for a match grade barrel in a duty grade gun. Its not even the extended, threaded version to use with a comp or a suppressor, it sits flush with the slide unlike the factory barrel that pokes out 1/8 of an inch.

I've got a Glock 19 that I picked up recently, a gen 3 that has become my cocealed carry piece. Everything on it was stock, save for the sights - it came with Trijicon sights. I installed OEM extended mag release that I round off the corners and edges on, I installed an extended slide stop lever, and a Glock factory minus connector. It has the OEM trigger face, for now. Once I get more rounds through the LoneWolf, and get to a point of really trusting it for serious use, I'll probably put a LoneWolf trigger in the G19, because the Glock factory trigger shoe feels like garbage in comparison.

I've had every one of these guns apart to its component pieces numerous times since getting them, for cleaning, inspection, parts swapping. Glocks are so dang easy to take apart and put back together. I'm torn on building out one (probably the 17) into a real hotrod piece, or just getting the 17 and 19 milled for dots - I have a like new Horosun EPS sitting on the shelf - it was on my prior duty pistol, but the G34 came with the 509T, and I like the 509T just a tad more because it has a bigger window. Not huge, like the EPS versus a 507K, but still bigger, and bigger windows make for easier dot tracking during recoil. I also have a 507K sitting on the shelf next to the EPS. Decisions, decisions.
