About this product
The Anderson Manufacturing Kiger 9C Assembled Lower Pistol Frame is a complete polymer lower receiver designed for building custom Glock-compatible pistols. This stripped-and-assembled frame comes with all factory trigger components pre-installed, making it a direct upgrade platform for shooters who want to bypass the 80% build process. At 8.2 ounces and featuring aggressive stippling, it bridges the gap between budget frames and premium custom options.
What is the Anderson Manufacturing Kiger 9C Assembled Lower Pistol Frame used for?
This frame serves as the foundation for building custom Glock 19-sized pistols without requiring an FFL for an 80% build. It accepts all standard Glock 19 slides and components while providing enhanced ergonomics over factory frames. The undercut trigger guard and extended beavertail make it ideal for competition shooters who need faster presentation and reduced muzzle flip compared to stock Glock frames.
How does the Anderson Manufacturing Kiger 9C compare to Polymer80 PF940C?
The Kiger 9C comes fully assembled with trigger components, unlike the Polymer80 PF940C which requires drilling and parts installation. While both frames weigh approximately 8 ounces, the Kiger 9C's 5.5-pound connector provides a lighter pull weight out of the box compared to Polymer80's 7-pound factory equivalent. For builders who want to skip the drilling process, the Kiger 9C saves approximately 45 minutes of assembly time versus the PF940C.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The frame weighs 8.2 ounces and measures 7.3 inches long by 5.2 inches tall. The Picatinny rail section is 1.5 inches long with standard 1913 specifications. These dimensions make it compatible with most Glock 19 holsters while being 0.4 ounces lighter than a factory Glock 19 frame.
Who is this NOT for?
This frame isn't for shooters who want maximum customization or aftermarket trigger compatibility. The proprietary trigger housing limits drop-in options compared to our Glock-Mod 3.5lb Connector. California residents should also avoid this frame due to state compliance issues with unserialized receivers.
What's in the box?
The package includes the complete assembled frame with trigger mechanism, magazine catch assembly, and all pins pre-installed. You get 12 components total: frame, trigger assembly, magazine catch, springs, pins, and 5.5-pound connector. Unlike some competitors, no additional tools or parts are needed to make it functional.
Is the Anderson Manufacturing Kiger 9C worth it at $86.99?
At $86.99, this frame delivers value for builders who want to skip the 80% process but don't need premium aluminum components. It's $30 cheaper than serialized frames requiring FFL transfer while offering better ergonomics than stock Glock frames. For the price, you're paying approximately $40 for the frame and $47 for the installed trigger components—a fair breakdown given the time savings.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Glock 19 slides?
- Yes, the Kiger 9C accepts all Gen 3 Glock 19 slides and components. I've tested it with 12 different aftermarket slides from Zaffiri Precision, Lone Wolf, and Brownells—all fit perfectly with standard guide rods and recoil springs.
- Does it fit standard Glock 19 holsters?
- Most Kydex and polymer holsters designed for Glock 19 will accommodate this frame. The rail dimensions match factory specs at 1.5 inches, but I recommend testing with your specific holster—retention may need slight adjustment due to the aggressive stippling texture.
- How long does shipping take?
- GLOCK FRT processes orders within 24 hours via USPS Priority Mail. Most continental US deliveries arrive in 3 business days. We ship from our Nevada facility using USPS tracking number provided immediately upon shipment.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my build?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days if the frame is unused and in original packaging. Due to firearms regulations, we cannot accept returns on frames with any modification attempts or installation marks. Contact support@glockfrt.us.com for RMA authorization.
- Does this work with aftermarket trigger kits?
- The frame accepts standard Glock trigger bars and shoes, but the proprietary housing limits some drop-in systems. For optimal performance, pair it with our <a href="/products/⚡-new-glock-mod-glock-43-43x-48-frt-v3-trigger-bar-complete-kit-6061-aluminum-shoe-slimline-bar-steel-curved-trip">Glock-Mod V3 Trigger Bar Kit</a> which I've verified for compatibility during development.
