80% Glock Frame Lowers (No FFL Required)
The world of custom firearms offers enthusiasts something special – the ability to craft a sidearm precisely to your specifications.

Our 80% pistol frames represent the perfect starting point for DIY firearm builders. Unlike complete firearms, these frames are not legally considered guns and can be shipped straight to your home without the paperwork and waiting periods associated with gun frame FFL transfers.

Understanding P80 Frames and the Current Market
For many years, the Polymer 80 (P80) frame dominated the 80% pistol market as the gold standard for DIY Glock builds. These P80 frames were renowned for their quality, ease of completion, and wide compatibility with Glock parts.
Unfortunately, as the largest and most visible target in the “ghost gun” industry, Polymer 80 has faced significant legal challenges that have currently halted their production. While we hope the Supreme Court will eventually rule in favor of the Las Vegas-based company, the Geisler Defence frames currently represent the best available option for builders seeking pistol frames with no FFL requirements.
This market evolution demonstrates why staying informed about the legal landscape is crucial for firearm enthusiasts. The good news is that several recent court rulings have been favorable toward 80% frames, indicating that this DIY option likely has a future in the American firearms landscape.
Glock 19 80% Lower: The Most Popular Pistol Platform
There’s good reason why the Glock 19 80% lower remains the most sought-after frame option among builders. The Glock 19 platform has earned its reputation as the world’s most popular handgun through decades of reliable service across law enforcement, military units, and civilian carriers.
The G19’s popularity stems from its perfect balance of features:
- Ideal Size: Large enough for a full firing grip but small enough for concealment
- Impressive Capacity: Standard 15-round magazines provide substantial firepower
- Legendary Reliability: Based on one of the most proven pistol designs in history
- Abundant Parts: Massive aftermarket support for customization options
- Familiar Ergonomics: Comfortable grip angle and control placement
Before recent market changes, the Polymer80 Compact was the king of Glock 19-style 80% frames. Other manufacturers like SCT, Lone Wolf Arms, and 80% Arms followed the compact model design, offering various interpretations of the popular platform.
Today, with the Geisler Defence G19x, you can build a pistol that captures the best qualities of both the Glock 19 and 17, with a compact slide and full-size grip for improved control and capacity. This makes it an excellent choice for both new builders and experienced gunsmiths seeking a Glock 19 frame without FFL paperwork.
Other Popular Glock Model Options
While the Glock 19 frame dominates the market, serious enthusiasts often explore other models to serve different purposes in their collection.
Glock 17 80% Lower: The Original Standard
The Glock 17 frame represents the original design that revolutionized the firearms industry. With its full-size dimensions, the G17 platform offers:
- Maximum sight radius for improved accuracy
- 17+1 standard capacity
- Slightly longer grip for shooters with larger hands
- Reduced felt recoil thanks to increased weight
Previously, Polymer80’s PF940v2 or “Full Size” model dominated this segment of the market. While commercial G17 80% frames are currently limited, the DIY community has embraced 3D printing solutions like the DD17.2 by FMDA for those determined to build on this platform.
Glock 43 80% Lower: Pocket-Sized Protection
For deep concealment or backup carry, the Glock 43 frame provides an excellent option in a subcompact package. This single-stack design prioritizes concealment while maintaining Glock reliability.
Polymer 80’s PF9SS or “Single Stack” model previously met the demand for G43 80% builds. Though commercially produced options are currently limited, the 3D printing community has developed alternatives like the DD43.2 and updated Strike 80 or G43x designs by developer Neutron Nick.
Legal Considerations When Ordering Gun Frames No FFL
While 80% frames offer the convenience of no FFL requirements, it’s essential to understand the legal landscape governing these products.

- The firearm must be for personal use (not built with intent to sell)
- You must not be prohibited from owning firearms under federal law
- The completed firearm must comply with the National Firearms Act
- Any firearm you build must comply with local and state laws
