This will be a first for me & I’m looking forward to it... I’ve ordered the complete parts for the G17 & G26.

First impressions: for me, the G26 & G17 feel most natural to grip. I was worried the blue titanium would be obnoxiously blue but I dig it. I’ve got plenty of black handguns, excited to bring some color in the mix. My favorite color is probably the ODG. The weight of each one is less than I would have expected. Overall, I’m thrilled.

Fwiw, I ordered from 3 different suppliers because impulse + falling deeper into the rabbit hole:
* MAS Defense - USPS, shipped next day - PF940v2 (ODG) for $116.41 OTD

* Rockey Brass - UPS, shipped next day - PF940SC (Blue Tit) for $117.68 OTD

* Arm or Ally - FedEx, shipped day of + quickest transit - got the PF45 (Black) & PF940C (Grey) for $96.06 each. $192.13 OTD

Share photos of your P80 builds and let me know if you have any advice! I’ll post some complete photos when I get there

Noice! I built three, two C and one CL. Love them. I buggered the locking block holes in the second C. I blame complacency. Still worked but it bothered me a lot looking at it. Finally got it replaced with a PFC9 frame I got from here. This is an older pic showing the messed up one at the bottom.

Nice - these look great. Any advice on the drilling? I’m no stranger to using hand tools (mostly framing side work) but have no experience with plastics. Hearing conflicting things about dremel versus hand drill.

Not qualified to give advices. I messed it up by not holding the drill perpendicular.
