About this product
The Glock-Mod Polymer80 PF940SC™ 80% Subcompact Frame and Jig Kit is a firearm builder's platform for fabricating a compact, performance-enhanced pistol frame compatible with Glock® 26/27 Gen 3 components. This 2026 release represents the latest evolution in user-finishable frames, designed from the ground up for superior ergonomics and control. It ships as a complete jig and frame kit, requiring final machining and parts assembly to create a functional firearm.
What is the PF940SC Frame used for?
This frame is used to legally manufacture a custom subcompact pistol, specifically a platform for a Glock 26 or 27 build. It provides the foundational chassis, which you then complete by drilling the required pin holes and installing a slide, barrel, and internal parts kit. This process results in a personalized handgun with improved ergonomics over a stock Glock frame.
How does the PF940SC compare to the standard Polymer80 PF940C?
The PF940SC is better for deep concealment, while the PF940C is better for full-hand purchase. The SC model is 0.7 inches shorter in overall grip height and is engineered specifically for subcompact G26 slides, whereas the popular PF940C model is designed for the compact G19 size. If you prioritize maximum concealability and use with 10-round magazines, the SC is superior; if you want a fuller grip for control with 15-round mags, choose the C frame.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The unfinished Polymer80 frame blank weighs 12.8 ounces (363 grams), and its key dimensions are a 1.25-inch wide frame rail section and an overall grip height of 4.8 inches. The included steel jig adds another 1.4 pounds to the total kit weight. When fully assembled with a G26 parts kit and slide, the complete pistol will typically weigh around 21 ounces.
Who is this NOT for?
This kit is not for first-time builders or anyone unwilling to invest in proper tools. You need a drill press or a sturdy handheld drill, a vice, and specific drill bits (included) to complete the frame correctly in about 45-60 minutes of focused work. It's also not for those seeking a complete, ready-to-shoot firearm—this is a project requiring additional components like our Glock-Mod V3 Trigger Shoe Kit or a full OEM parts kit.
What's in the box?
The box contains the 80% polymer frame blank, a CNC-machined steel jig, three specific drill bits (3mm, 4mm, and 5mm), and all necessary jig hardware. You do not receive any internal fire control parts, slide, barrel, or magazine. For optimal trigger performance post-build, I recommend pairing it with a tuned connector like our Glock-Mod 3.5lb Connector.
Is the PF940SC Frame worth it at $249.72?
At $249.72, this kit is worth it for builders who value the specific 18-degree grip angle and enhanced controls of the P80 platform over a stock Glock frame. You're paying for the design engineering, the precision jig, and the legal pathway to a custom firearm. If your goal is simply the cheapest possible G26 clone, a complete aftermarket frame might save you $50, but you'll sacrifice the improved ergonomics and the satisfaction of the build process.
Specs at a glance
Pros & cons
What works
- Features an 18-degree grip angle — improves natural pointability and recoil control over the standard Glock 22-degree angle.
- Includes a precision CNC-machined steel jig — ensures pin holes are drilled within a 0.002-inch tolerance for reliable function.
- Double-undercut trigger guard and extended beavertail — allows for a higher, tighter grip compared to a stock G26 frame.
- Reinforced polymer frame weighs 12.8 oz — provides a solid foundation without adding unnecessary bulk.
Trade-offs
- Requires significant tooling and skill — not a drop-in solution; expect 45-60 minutes of precise drilling and fitting.
- No internal parts included — you must source a full G26/27 LPK, slide, and barrel separately, adding $300-$500+ to total cost.
- Factory grip texture is moderate — aggressive shooters may still want to add stippling or talon grips for maximum traction.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Glock 26 Gen 4 or Gen 5 parts?
- No, it is only compatible with Generation 3 Glock 26 and 27 components. The frame uses the 3-pin design, and the front rail block is specifically molded for Gen 3 locking blocks and parts kits. Attempting to install Gen 4 or Gen 5 internal parts will not function correctly.
- Does it fit Glock 19 holsters?
- No, it will not fit standard Glock 19 holsters due to the different frame dimensions and rail profile. You will need a holster specifically molded for the Polymer80 PF940SC frame or a universal holster designed for the Glock 26/27 platform. The width at the accessory rail is 1.25 inches.
- How long does shipping take?
- GLOCK FRT ships all in-stock items within 1 business day via USPS Priority Mail or UPS Ground. Typical transit time is 2-5 business days for contiguous US addresses. You will receive a tracking number within 24 hours of your order processing.
- Does this work with aftermarket Glock magazines?
- Yes, the frame's magazine well is designed to accept all standard OEM and aftermarket Glock 26/27 magazines. It has been tested with Magpul PMAG 12 GL9, ETS 12-round, and OEM 10-round magazines without modification. The mag release works with both factory and extended releases.
- Can I return it if I mess up the drilling?
- No. Due to the nature of 80% frames and federal regulations, this product is non-returnable and non-refundable once it has been shipped from our warehouse. We recommend practicing on polymer scraps and following the included instructions precisely to avoid errors during the 45-60 minute machining process.
- What tools are required to complete it?
- You need a drill press or a high-torque handheld drill, a sturdy bench vise, clamps to secure the jig, and safety glasses. The kit provides the drill bits, but having a center punch, a #2 Phillips screwdriver for the jig, and a file for cleaning the holes is highly recommended.
