Hey all,
I finished a P80 G17 build over the winter for fun mostly, but i shot it in steel challenge and USPSA before the COVID shutdown. Had a blast building it. I have attached a couple of pictures. It has changed some as I have added an extended mag and slide releases and a magwell since the pictures. I am starting a G22 build now and was just looking for some recommendations for parts. No part is too cheap, some are too expensive, but mostly who has used what and what is good and worth the money.
For my G17 I used OC Custom Triggers, Grey Ghost barrel, Brownells Slide, Cross Armory Mag release, Cain Arms mag extension, just to name a few. Few other places for bits and pieces.

I just added it up. Right around $700. I know, I could have bought a Glock and played with it, but for me, the frame is the big difference. Also being able to shoot lead without concern. I didn't include the mag extensions, those were $15 each and I have 10 mags, but I would have bought those for any gun.
 
A basic P80 Buy Build & Shoot kit, that has all elements needed for a complete gun, including sights and mag (15 rd), sells for $575 at MidwayUSA (now out of stock) and Classic Firearms (now out of stock). If you have a Dremel tool, small files, bench vise, and fine grit sand paper, you're good to go. You can buy Dremel, files, vise and sand paper all in for less than $100 at Home Depot or Amazon.

Have fun...I will try one of these when back in stock.
 
Built this G26 P80SC last year. I paid $459.99 shipped for the complete kit (minus magazine and night sights) from:

Couple months ago, I sent my niece and 2 nephews Polymer 80 G26 kits from:
https://jsdsupply.com/glock/?sort=pricedesc&page=2
Price was $430 + shipping.

Figure the boys are both studying engineering in college and ought to get a kick of building their own "Ghost Guns."
