Build It Yourself & The Fun Will Come
Custom Polymer80 Pistol
A while back, I wanted a pistol, besides my carry gun, to use for target shooting. My buddy let me try his Glock®, but I didn't like the way it pointed (plus, ugly!). I had built an AR-15 before, so I toyed with going the Polymer80 route but hadn't committed - until Brownells rolled out their exclusive "Aggressive Texture" P80 frame. That did it! I ordered one and was on my way.
I prefer precision shooting to urban combat, so I went with a long-slide G34 configuration mating a Suarez match barrel (threaded so I can add a suppressor later) to a ZEV Technologies slide, with Ameriglo fiber optic sights for my 50-year-old eyes and some Magpul® GL9® PMAGs to feed the beast. The trigger is a flat-faced Suarez assembly with a short, light break that feels like a 1911. Shooting IS more fun when you build it yourself!
