Expert review
About this product
The Polymer80 PF940v2™ is an 80% pistol frame requiring final machining to complete a Glock-compatible handgun. Production has temporarily ceased, making this a final opportunity to acquire this specific model. This frame serves as the foundation for building custom pistols while maintaining certain legal designations.
What is the Polymer80 PF940v2 used for?
The PF940v2 serves as an unfinished platform for building Glock 17-compatible pistols after completing required machining operations. Final drilling and milling operations typically require 90-120 minutes with proper jigs and tools. This process creates a functional firearm frame for custom builds.
How does the Polymer80 PF940v2 compare to the 80% Lower Fire/Safe Marked?
The PF940v2 specifically accommodates Glock 17 components, while the 80% Lower Fire/Safe Marked fits AR-15 platforms. The PF940v2 weighs 9.8 oz unfinished, making it 42% lighter than completed metal frames. For pistol builds, the PF940v2 offers superior compatibility with aftermarket Glock parts.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The unfinished frame weighs 9.8 oz with dimensions of 7.2" length × 5.1" height × 1.3" width. These measurements reflect the raw polymer structure before finishing operations. The frame's weight increases to approximately 12.2 oz after complete milling and component installation.
Who is this NOT for?
This frame is unsuitable for buyers lacking machining tools or unwilling to invest 2-3 hours in completion work. Individuals seeking ready-to-shoot firearms should consider completed frames instead. Those unfamiliar with firearm assembly protocols should avoid 80% frames entirely.
What's in the box?
The package contains exactly one unfinished PF940v2 polymer frame without additional components. No jigs, drill bits, or finishing tools are included with this frame-only purchase. Buyers must source all completion tools separately.
Is the Polymer80 PF940v2 worth it at $160.99?
At $160.99, this represents fair value for a discontinued model with proven compatibility. The price reflects the frame's specific design for Glock 17 components and polymer construction. Compared to our lubrication study findings, this frame maintains dimensional stability under repeated firing cycles.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Glock 17 slides?
- Yes, the PF940v2 accepts standard Glock 17 generation 3 slides without modification. Frame-to-slide fit requires proper rail milling during completion. All slide components must be purchased separately.
- Does it fit standard Glock magazines?
- The frame accepts Gen 3 Glock 17 magazines with 17-round capacity. Magazine release function requires proper installation during frame completion. Aftermarket magazines may require slight fitting.
- How long does shipping take?
- Orders typically ship within 3 business days via USPS Priority Mail. Transit time averages 2-5 days depending on destination. Tracking information provided upon shipment.
- Can I return it if I damage it during machining?
- No, returns are not accepted for frames damaged during completion attempts. All sales are final once machining begins. Proper tools and experience are recommended before purchase.
