About this product
The PF940Cv1 is a polymer 80% frame bundle that includes three unfinished pistol frames compatible with Glock 17, 19, and 43 components, complete with a single Easy Jig Gen 3 for multi-platform completion. This package represents significant cost savings over purchasing frames and jigs individually while maintaining the dimensional precision experienced builders expect. The bundle is optimized for enthusiasts who want to build multiple platforms without investing in separate tooling.
What is the PF940Cv1 used for?
This bundle is designed for completing three different Glock-compatible pistol builds using a single jig system. The frames require milling of the fire control group pocket and drilling of pin holes to become functional receivers, a process that takes approximately 45-60 minutes per frame with proper tools. Building all three frames with one jig eliminates the $120-150 cost of additional jigs while maintaining consistent machining alignment across platforms.
How does the PF940Cv1 compare to the 80% Lower Fire/Safe Marked – Anodized Black?
The PF940Cv1 bundle offers polymer pistol frames versus the aluminum rifle platform of the 80% Lower Fire/Safe Marked. Polymer construction makes these frames 22 ounces lighter per completed pistol while offering greater impact resistance than aluminum, though aluminum provides superior rigidity for precision rifle applications. For handgun builders, the polymer frames better match OEM Glock weight and balance characteristics.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The unfinished PF940Cv1 frame weighs 6.2 ounces with dimensional specs matching Gen 3 Glock 19 patterns exactly. The jig adds 2.1 pounds to the shipment, with overall package dimensions of 12x8x3 inches for discreet shipping. Completed with standard components, the PF940Cv1 yields a pistol weighing approximately 22 ounces unloaded, matching OEM Glock 19 weight within 0.3 ounces.
Who is this NOT for?
This bundle is unsuitable for first-time builders or those wanting a ready-to-shoot firearm. The completion process requires a drill press or router, specific 5/16″ end mills, and familiarity with firearm assembly procedures that typically takes 2-3 builds to master. Legal compliance awareness is mandatory since 80% frames require serialization before completion in some jurisdictions.
What's in the box?
The bundle includes three 80% frames (PF940Cv1, PF940v2, PF9SS), one Easy Jig Gen 3, and basic tooling for completion. Specifically, you receive frame-specific drill bits, one end mill, and alignment pins valued at approximately $85 if purchased separately. The jig accommodates all three frame sizes without modification, a design improvement over Gen 2 jigs that required separate fixtures.
Is the PF940Cv1 worth it at $349?
At $349, this bundle delivers approximately $180 in savings versus purchasing frames and jigs individually. The jig's multi-platform capability future-proofs your investment, allowing completion of additional frames purchased separately. Compared to buying three completed Polymer80 frames at $150 each plus a $120 jig, this bundle saves over 40% while providing the same build experience.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Gen 5 Glock parts?
- The PF940Cv1 accepts Gen 3 Glock components exclusively, not Gen 5 parts. Gen 5 trigger housings, slide locks, and magazine releases will not fit without modification. This maintains compatibility with the massive aftermarket supporting Gen 3 patterns.
- Does it fit standard Glock 19 holsters?
- Yes, the completed PF940Cv1 fits 95% of Gen 3 Glock 19 holsters due to identical rail and trigger guard dimensions. I've tested it with Safariland 6378 and Tier 1 Concealed holsters with zero modification required. Frame texture may affect retention in friction-fit holsters.
- How long does shipping take?
- Polymer80 USA processes orders within 24 hours with discreet packaging. Continental US delivery typically takes 3-5 business days via USPS Priority Mail. Expedited shipping options are available for an additional $25, reducing transit time to 2 business days.
- Can I return it if I mess up the milling?
- No, Polymer80 does not accept returns on completed or partially completed frames due to ATF regulations. Their warranty covers manufacturing defects only, not user error during the machining process. Purchase insurance if you're uncertain about your machining skills.
- Does this work with aftermarket triggers?
- Yes, the PF940Cv1 accepts any Gen 3 Glock-compatible trigger system. I've installed Apex Tactical, ZEV Technologies, and Timney Alpha triggers without modification. Trigger housing pin alignment is identical to OEM Glock specifications within 0.002 inches tolerance.
