Well, as was mentioned in my introduction post, my second P80 build involved taking a PF940C and chopping the grip to G26 length. I choose the ready mod frame so that I could have a border around whatever I did for texturing. I call it a G19k with the “k” standing for kurz.
Here are pics with an OEM G26 mag and with a Magpul 12 round mag.
The stippling is the second texture I’ve put on it. The first one looked good on a flat surface, but didn’t translate to curved surfaces too well. I still need to touch up the border some.
Kurz is German for short. You used to see it in some ammo designations.
I just restippled it the other weekend, and I think it took about an hour and a half to two hours. The biggest help was wearing a motorcycle glove on the soldering iron hand, and resting the base of my hand on a bench block.
It all varies based on what deals you may be able to find, but as a rough estimate based on what I’ve been seeing…
Frame - $120
Lower parts kit - $60
Slide - $180-200
Slide parts - $90
Barrel - $100-150
Of course, all these costs can go up based on what you want. Threaded barrels, fancy slides, tricked out triggers all will increase the cost. As with all builds, it’s not really about saving money over buying OEM, but if you want to upgrade parts, you can just buy those parts without having to have an OEM part laying around after replacement…and of course, if you do frame mods yourself instead of sending it off, that will save you money.
Although I am not a fan of the Glock I work in them daily
And appreciate the reliability that they offer
But the price point on them is stupid
They only cost that much because it’s such a fan boy pistol and most folks believe it’s the do all end all
My soldering iron has a straight tip, and this was my first attempt on this gun. It just wasn’t good enough for my liking, so I went with the microdot pattern.
