Glock 80%

Any one done one?

You know I keep seeing these and can’t help but ask myself “Why?”. What is the point of putting a lower on a firearm that already has a lower? I get the whole “do it yourself” thing. But what does it really do as far as performance or handling? Just curious. Not bashing anyone.

The introduction of the 80% glocks sure made the price of barrels and slides go up.

I guess the only good thing about is DYI and the ghost gun part. I know the slides and barrels have gone up but you still can find some good deals.

I have done one, polymer 80v2. Based on the glock 17. Except for some issues with magpul magazines feeding steel case (they hang up in the mag itself) it has performed flawlessly so far with approx 1500 rounds thru it. As far as why would some one build one ? for me its all about the DIY. There definitely is no money to be saved and mine was not an expensive build. But I have no regrets building it, It feels good in the hand, runs reliably and seems to be accurate...for me anyways.

MGW,

Thanks for the reply, I have quiet few parts laying around, I think I going to try it out.

That's great, give it a try. It's not difficult at all. I did mine with a dremel, file and an x-acto knife. I have been a machinist for the last 35 years and didn't feel the need for anything else. Pay close attention to areas that can interfere with the recoil spring. That's where most people have a problem.

Cool, thanks for the tip.
