Description
Complete Your Polymer80 Build with Precision Engineering
For builders working on a Polymer80 Glock build, the slide assembly represents the final, critical component that determines the firearm’s reliability and performance. The P80 Full Size Slide Assembly for PF940v2/PFS9 frames provides a complete, factory-ready solution engineered specifically for the 80% platform. This isn’t an afterthought component—it’s a purpose-built upper assembly designed from the ground up to match the dimensions and specifications of your Polymer80 frame, ensuring proper fitment and function right out of the box.
Key Features & Benefits
- Fully Assembled & Ready to Install: Arrives complete with all internal components properly fitted and tested. This eliminates the guesswork of sourcing individual parts and ensures everything works together harmoniously from your first range session.
- Cerakote Finish for Durability: The black Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance and maintains its appearance through regular use. Unlike basic finishes that wear quickly, Cerakote bonds to the metal surface, offering lasting protection against holster wear and environmental exposure.
- Precision Machined Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the PF940v2/PFS9 frame geometry, this slide maintains proper rail engagement and barrel alignment. The attention to dimensional accuracy means you won’t encounter the fitting issues common with generic aftermarket slides.
- 9mm Caliber Optimization: Designed around 9mm Luger ballistics and feeding characteristics, the internal geometry supports reliable cycling with a wide range of ammunition types, from range practice loads to defensive hollow points.
Technical Specifications
This slide assembly is manufactured to match the dimensions of factory Glock 17 slides while incorporating subtle refinements for the Polymer80 platform. The Cerakote finish is applied using a multi-stage process that includes proper surface preparation and curing for maximum adhesion. The assembly includes all necessary internal components—firing pin, extractor, springs, and guide rod—properly installed and ready for immediate use. The slide features standard Glock sight cuts for easy optic or sight installation, maintaining compatibility with most aftermarket options.
Who This Is For
This slide assembly serves two primary audiences. First, it’s ideal for builders completing their first Polymer80 project who want assurance of proper fitment without extensive gunsmithing. The drop-in nature eliminates the most common point of frustration for new builders. Second, experienced builders seeking a reliable, no-fuss upper for a dedicated build will appreciate the quality and consistency. Whether you’re building a home defense firearm, range training pistol, or simply completing a project that’s been waiting for the right components, this assembly provides the confidence that comes with purpose-engineered parts.
Compatibility Notes
This slide assembly is specifically designed for the Polymer80 PF940v2 and PFS9 frames. It maintains compatibility with standard Glock 17 generation 3 components and magazines, though we recommend function testing with your specific setup. The design accommodates most aftermarket barrels that fit standard Glock 17 slides, giving you flexibility in your build configuration. For those exploring additional options, our full P80 Slide collection offers various configurations to match different preferences and requirements.
When installing, ensure your frame rails are properly finished and lubricated according to Polymer80’s instructions. While this assembly is designed for straightforward installation, always perform a complete function check before live firing. The investment in a properly engineered slide assembly pays dividends in reliability and shooting enjoyment over the life of your firearm.
