Polymer80 PF940SC™ 80% Pistol Frame ONLY – 9mm

Description

Product Overview

The Polymer80 PF940SC™ 80% Pistol Frame ONLY is the foundational component for building a compact, semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9mm. Designed for the experienced firearms enthusiast and hobbyist builder, this frame is engineered to be the core of a custom Glock® 26/27 pattern pistol. As an 80% frame, it requires machining and assembly by the end-user, offering a deep, hands-on understanding of the firearm’s function and ergonomics. This product is intended for personal customization, recreational building, and as a platform for creating a tailored concealed carry or home defense firearm where legal. It is not a functioning firearm until completed with the necessary parts and tools.

Key Features

• Compact 9mm Platform: Designed specifically for the Glock® 26/27 footprint, this polymer frame provides a reliable foundation for a highly concealable, semi-automatic pistol in 9mm caliber.
• Enhanced Ergonomic Design: Features an integrated extended beavertail and pronounced thumb ledge, offering superior hand positioning and helping to mitigate muzzle rise for better control during rapid fire.
• Double-Undercut Trigger Guard: This design allows for a significantly higher and more comfortable grip on the firearm, promoting improved trigger control and overall shooting stability.
• Optimized Grip Angle: Engineers at Polymer80 have updated the grip geometry to a 22-degree angle, which many shooters find offers a more natural point of aim and reduces wrist strain compared to traditional designs.
• Durable Polymer Construction: Manufactured from high-strength, reinforced polymer, the frame offers an excellent balance of lightweight durability and rigidity necessary for reliable long-term performance.
• Builder-Centric Design: As an 80% frame, it is supplied with a proprietary jig (sold separately) that guides the builder through the final machining steps, making the completion process accessible to those with basic workshop skills and tools.

Performance & Applications

The primary value of the PF940SC™ frame lies in its role as a customizable platform. Its performance is directly tied to the quality of the completion parts and the builder’s skill, but the frame itself is engineered to facilitate excellent outcomes.

Custom Concealed Carry Platform: For the individual seeking a tailored daily carry firearm, this frame serves as the starting point. The compact size, combined with the enhanced ergonomic features like the thumb ledge and undercut trigger guard, allows for the creation of a pistol that fits the user’s hand perfectly, potentially improving draw consistency and shot placement in defensive scenarios. The process of building it fosters intimate familiarity with every component.

Advanced Firearms Hobbyist Project: This product is ideal for the enthusiast who values the knowledge gained from hands-on assembly. Building from an 80% frame provides a comprehensive education in the function, timing, and interaction of a semi-automatic pistol’s fire control system. The completed project results in a unique firearm that reflects the builder’s preferences in terms of parts selection, finish, and trigger feel.

Training & Familiarization Tool: The act of building, disassembling, and maintaining a firearm you’ve assembled yourself creates a profound level of mechanical understanding. This hands-on knowledge can translate to enhanced troubleshooting skills and confidence in the reliability and function of the finished pistol.
