Product Overview
The Polymer80 PF940Cv1™ 80% Compact Frame and Jig Kit is a foundational component for firearms enthusiasts and builders seeking a personalized, compact pistol platform. Designed to be compatible with widely available Glock® 19/23 Generation 3 components, this kit provides a semi-automatic pistol frame that arrives at 80% completion. It is intended for individuals who enjoy the hands-on process of building and customizing their firearms to precise ergonomic and performance specifications. The primary use of the completed frame is to serve as the core of a reliable, compact-duty or concealed-carry style pistol, built by you. This kit is ideal for the skilled hobbyist, the customization-focused shooter, or anyone with a deep interest in the mechanical assembly and function of their firearm.
Key Features
- Complete Frame & Jig System: The kit includes the PF940Cv1™ polymer frame, a precision-machined jig, and necessary drill bits. This provides everything required to professionally complete the frame’s final machining steps in a controlled, accurate manner.
- Glock® Gen 3 Compatibility: Engineered for guaranteed compatibility with aftermarket and OEM Glock® 19/23 Generation 3 slides, barrels, and internal parts kits. This ensures access to a vast ecosystem of components and accessories.
- Enhanced Ergonomic Design: Features an extended beavertail and thumb ledge for superior hand positioning and recoil control. The double-undercut trigger guard allows for a higher, firmer grip, enhancing shooter comfort and control.
- Optimized 18-Degree Grip Angle: Polymer80 engineers modified the traditional grip angle to a more natural 18 degrees. This ergonomic upgrade can improve pointability and shooter comfort for many users compared to a standard factory configuration.
- Durable Polymer Construction: The frame is constructed from a high-strength, reinforced polymer, offering an excellent balance of lightweight durability and rigidity, similar to modern striker-fired pistol designs.
- Factory-Style Grip Texture: The frame comes with an aggressive, molded-in grip texture that provides a secure, non-slip surface without being overly abrasive, suitable for both range use and concealed carry.
Performance & Applications
The completed Polymer80 PF940Cv1™ frame serves as the backbone for a highly versatile compact pistol. Its design and compatibility make it suitable for several focused applications.
First, it is an excellent platform for a customized concealed carry or home defense pistol. The compact form factor, compatible with Glock® 19 components, is a proven standard for everyday carry. The enhanced ergonomics—specifically the improved grip angle and undercut trigger guard—allow the builder to create a firearm that fits their hand perfectly, which can contribute to faster, more accurate shot placement in high-stress scenarios. The stainless steel rails embedded in the polymer frame ensure reliable slide operation and long-term durability.
Second, this kit is a premier choice for the firearms hobbyist and building enthusiast. The process of completing the frame using the provided jig and then assembling it with a chosen parts kit offers deep educational value and a sense of accomplishment. It allows for a detailed understanding of the firearm’s function and facilitates a truly personalized build, where every component, from the trigger to the sights, can be selected based on the builder’s specific performance preferences.
