Expert review
About this product
The Anderson Manufacturing Kiger 9C Stripped Lower Pistol Frame is a polymer handgun foundation designed specifically for custom Glock-compatible builds. It serves as the structural base for assembling a complete pistol using aftermarket components. With an MSRP of $49.99, it provides an affordable entry point for builders who want to create a personalized carry weapon without starting from raw materials. This frame weighs just 5.6 ounces and features pre-machined trigger housing and rail slots for straightforward assembly.
What is the Anderson Manufacturing Kiger 9C Stripped Lower Pistol Frame used for?
This frame functions as the foundation for building custom Glock-compatible pistols from individual components. It accepts standard Glock-style slides, barrels, and internal parts while providing a lightweight polymer platform for personalized ergonomics. Builders typically complete assembly in 45-60 minutes using basic gunsmithing tools.
How does the Anderson Kiger 9C compare to a Polymer80 PF940SC?
The Kiger 9C offers faster assembly but less customization potential than the Polymer80 PF940SC. Anderson's frame comes with pre-installed trigger housing pins and requires only 3 machining steps versus Polymer80's 5-step process, saving approximately 15 minutes of labor. However, the PF940SC provides more aggressive texturing and modular grip options for users wanting maximum control.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The frame weighs 5.6 ounces (159 grams) with dimensions of 6.3 inches long, 4.1 inches high, and 1.2 inches wide. These compact measurements make it ideal for concealed carry builds, coming in 0.8 ounces lighter than comparable aluminum frames while maintaining structural rigidity for +P ammunition.
Who is this NOT for?
This frame isn't suitable for beginners unfamiliar with pistol assembly procedures or users wanting a complete ready-to-shoot firearm. It requires purchasing separate components like our Glock 3.5lb Modified Cut Nub Connector and proper fitting tools. Those seeking immediate functionality should consider factory-complete pistols instead.
What's in the box?
The package contains only the stripped polymer frame with pre-installed trigger housing pins and locking block. No additional components or hardware are included, requiring builders to source slides, barrels, and internal parts separately. The frame ships with basic installation instructions but assumes prior gunsmithing knowledge.
Is the Anderson Kiger 9C worth it at $49.99?
At $49.99, this frame delivers excellent value for experienced builders creating lightweight custom pistols. Compared to $120+ complete frames, the savings allow investment in premium components like our BLEM-CHIP Aluminum Trigger. The 30% cost reduction versus competitor frames makes it ideal for budget-conscious projects where weight savings matter.
