Polymer80 PF940C™ 80% Pistol Frame ONLY – 9mm

Product Overview

The Polymer80 PF940C™ 80% Pistol Frame is the foundational component for building a custom, compact 9mm semi-automatic pistol. Designed for the experienced firearms enthusiast and hobbyist builder, this frame is engineered to be compatible with widely available Glock® 19 components. As an 80% frame, it requires the end user to perform the final machining steps, offering a deeply personalized project that culminates in a functional firearm. This process is ideal for those who value hands-on customization, understanding of their firearm’s mechanics, and the satisfaction of a self-assembled build. The PF940C™ is tailored for personal use in recreational shooting, home defense preparation, and as a dedicated platform for honing gunsmithing skills.

Key Features

• Compact 9mm Platform: Designed to accept standard Glock® 19 parts kits and slides, this frame creates a versatile and highly popular compact pistol format, balancing concealability with shootability.
• Enhanced Ergonomic Design: Features an integrated extended beavertail and pronounced thumb ledge, promoting a higher, more controlled grip and mitigating slide bite for improved handling.
• Double-Undercut Trigger Guard: Provides additional clearance for the support hand, allowing for a consistently firm, high grip that enhances control and reduces muzzle flip during rapid fire.
• Durable Polymer Construction: Manufactured from a proprietary, reinforced polymer blend that offers an optimal balance of lightweight durability and structural integrity for the 9mm semi-automatic action.
• Customizable Foundation: As an unfinished 80% frame, it offers the builder the opportunity to personally complete the fire control cavity, ensuring a unique build and a thorough understanding of the assembly process.
• Multiple Color Options: Available in a selection of finishes, allowing builders to select a frame that matches their personal aesthetic or build theme from the outset.

Performance & Applications

Once completed with a slide, barrel, and internal parts kit, the PF940C™ frame serves as the backbone for a reliable and highly customizable compact pistol. Its primary application is as a project for the dedicated shooting hobbyist. The build process itself is a key use case, providing invaluable education in firearm mechanics and customization. For the recreational shooter, the completed pistol offers a platform ideal for range training and competition in compact divisions, where its ergonomic enhancements directly translate to faster, more accurate follow-up shots.

Furthermore, the frame can serve as the starting point for a configured home defense firearm. Once properly assembled, function-checked, and tested with a variety of ammunition, the resulting pistol benefits from the builder’s intimate knowledge of its operation and reliability. It’s important to note that any defensive firearm must be assembled with quality components and undergo extensive proficiency testing by the end user.
