Oat_Action_ManVery cool.
I got a P80 kit on Black Friday and also a Suarez 17 slide kit w/barrel and trigger. I just need the internals and some sights, but I'm not sure when I'll get around to it.
Thanks for your insights.

dedguyI want one now too. I'm checking all the aftermarket Glock parts makers. If you know of any good ones, or a company that sells parts let the rest of us know.

MechI have built....a few of these. They sure are fun!
Slide: usually from Brownells.
Ameriglo Nightsights: OpticsPlanet
UPK: Glock OEM from MidwayUSA
Lower frame: MidwayUSA, ROckeyBrass, or Brownells
LPK: Glock OEM from MidwayUSA, RockeyBrass, or just eBay. People have recommended AGAINST Lonewolf.
Barrel: usually from Combat Armory, can be had for under $50.

myrottietyAt some point I'll do one of these P80 for kicks. Same reason I did my %80 1911. I could have bought x2 budget / mid level 1911s for what I put into this one. But it was a super fun project.

gatopescadoI just did a P80 Glock 22. Turned out awesome!! I bought a trade in gen3 and a fde P80 kit. I had no problems. I did update most of the parts in the slide and frame. I put 150 rounds through it without any hickups!! I'm real happy with it.

RNshooterBrownells is running a sale on the kit with a slide for $289.
I am wondering if it makes sense, at that price.

I'm unfamiliar with these things. What else do you need? Barrel, trigger assembly??? How much cost is there above the $289?

RNshooterAs far as I can tell, you need a barrel, an upper parts kit, and a lower parts kit.

That's $200-$300 depending on the cost of your barrel.
You probably need sights too.
