Polymer 80 Glock

Fair warning from what I have read those Glock 80% frames are made with inferior materials and tend to go boom.

WOW! That is realistic! Just like the originals.

Mine's been Flawless through 700 rounds

The new frames, or gen 1?

I can't find one instance of frame trouble in my search. Run it.

They don't have to have a serial number on them.

You can register them without a serial number just like you can register an 80% AR lower as a pistol

You can carry a non serialized pistol on your CPL.

Regarding this answer......

Is "registering" them a prerequisite (requirement) to carrying them? Any links you can provide or official cite would be appreciated. If the ATF allows me to build a weapon for my own personal use, without having to register that weapon, why would carrying it change the rules? I am looking for specific legalities.

With all due respect to Jim....I have asked his advice more than once, and followed his recommendations. There is no one other than Jim I would want representing me if I ran afoul of the law, but could you provide more info (links) to any problems regarding Poly 80 lowers? I have built 5, and waiting on parts for number 6. The first 4 have 2000 rounds, 1600 rounds, 1200 and 800 rounds thru them without so much as a hiccup. I've not seen any negative reviews other than folks trying to use ultra cheap parts (non fitting) or just plain doing a hack job building them. I would like to know if I'm playing with fire.

I can see myself with 2 of them, but I am curious as to why you have 6. Full size, compact, race gun, EDC?

[Coctailer]

None of the ones I sold have had any problems reported.
I only sell the Glock 19 size one with the metal rails. I never liked the idea of the earlier generations with the plastic rails.

The answer hasn't changed since it was first asked. There is nothing that regulates it. Nothing saying NG, and nothing saying GTG.


Or maybe just the fact that you may carry any legally owned handgun under your CPL, you are covered. You legally built them, you own them.
