About this product
The Polymer80 PF-Series Full Pistol Frame Parts Kit is a complete internal component set for building PF940v2, PF940C, and PF940SC 9mm pistol frames. It provides all necessary trigger, safety, and release mechanisms in one package with multiple configuration options. This kit eliminates the need to source individual components separately.
What is the Polymer80 PF-Series Parts Kit used for?
This kit is designed for completing 80% Polymer80 pistol frames with all necessary internal components. It provides the trigger assembly, safety mechanisms, and control interfaces required for functional operation. The included options accommodate three different frame sizes with appropriate spring configurations.
How does the Polymer80 PF-Series Parts Kit compare to OEM Glock components?
The Polymer80 kit offers broader compatibility across multiple frame sizes than OEM Glock parts, which are model-specific. While OEM components typically cost $180-220 for a complete set, this $165 kit includes both curved and flat trigger options that OEM doesn't provide. OEM parts may offer slightly tighter tolerances for precision fitment in their designated models.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The complete parts kit weighs 5.8 ounces and fits within a 6x4x1 inch packaging dimensions. Individual components maintain standard Glock pattern specifications, with trigger bars measuring 2.8 inches in length and magazine releases at 0.9 inches. The spring selection includes three different slide lock springs ranging from 0.6 to 1.1 inches in compressed length.
Who is this NOT for?
This kit is not suitable for builders seeking pre-assembled drop-in units or those working with completed frames. The components require proper installation and fitting by someone with basic gunsmithing skills. Those looking for enhanced aftermarket triggers or custom finishes should consider dedicated upgrade parts instead of this OEM-style replacement set.
What's in the box?
The kit contains 17 separate components including two trigger shoe styles, three slide lock springs, and all necessary pins and springs. Specific contents are: Flat Trigger Shoe, Curved Trigger Shoe, Trigger Safety, Trigger Bar, Trigger Spring, Trigger Housing, 9mm Ejector, Connector, Magazine Release, Magazine Release Spring, Slide Lock Lever, Compact Slide Lock Spring, Full Size Slide Lock Spring, Subcompact Slide Lock Spring, Slide Catch Lever, Trigger Pin, and Locking Block Pin. The packaging occupies approximately 24 cubic inches.
Is the Polymer80 PF-Series Parts Kit worth it at $165?
At $165, this kit provides cost-effective completeness for builders who need all internal components. Compared to sourcing individual parts separately, which typically costs $200-250, it represents a 25% savings. The inclusion of multiple trigger and spring options adds value for builders experimenting with different configurations, as detailed in our lubrication wear study. For those building multiple frames, consider the Patriot Pack for better per-unit pricing.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Glock 17 Gen 3 slides?
- Yes, the ejector and connector are designed for Gen 3 compatibility. The 9mm ejector (part number 30274) specifically matches Gen 3 geometry. All components interface properly with OEM Glock 17 Gen 3 slides and barrels.
- Does it fit Polymer80 PF940SC frames?
- Yes, the kit includes a subcompact slide lock spring specifically for PF940SC frames. The coil spring type (part of the three spring options) is designed for subcompact models. All other components maintain cross-compatibility across the PF-Series.
- How long does shipping take?
- Standard shipping typically takes 3-5 business days within the continental US. Priority shipping options reduce this to 2-3 business days. International shipments may require 7-14 business days depending on destination.
- Can I return it if components don't fit?
- Polymer80 accepts returns within 30 days for uninstalled components. The parts must be in original packaging with all included items. Installation attempts void the return eligibility according to their policy documentation.
- Does this work with Apex Tactical triggers?
- The trigger bar and housing are compatible with most aftermarket triggers including Apex Tactical models. However, the included trigger shoes may not interface properly with third-party trigger mechanisms. Consult Apex compatibility charts for specific model requirements.
