Polymer80 PF45 frame kits

Anyone have experience with Polymer80 large frame kits? I'd love to hear what your experiences are. I have an extra 6" stainless Lone Wolf barrel from a G40 MOS I sold and and am deciding whether or not to hold onto it to use later on or to sell it.

Did the PF45 frames stink so bad that none of you bought into them?

or

Did you buy them and never complete them?

Would like to see opinions on this also. No a sn thing for me. Small hands and the G20 don?t mix. G29 and full house?. The P45 grip seems narrower and more comfortable.
Looked long at the tanfo but just couldn?t pull the trigger due to all the reliability comments out there.

P80 frame, lone wolf slide, BarSto comped barrel as a woods gun?

I have built 2 of them. Shoot them all the time. I love them. I put them together for about $700-800 all in each. Got threaded alpha wolf barrels and put a swampfox rmr on one. I shoot it supressed most of the time but have put heavy loads through it also. I went with a 22lbs spring. Only issue i ran into was a 2-3 round burst issue but a new connector fixed that. The round count is somewhere around 3000-4000 right now. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hold up. You can make a 10mm Glock clone with these 80% kits?
I just want to confirm this, because if so, I'm doing it now.

Yeah. Only difference between a Glock 20 and Glock 21 is the slide and barrel. Maybe the RSA, but the bottom end is identical.

Thanks,
I started doing some research, and can't believe I hadn't heard of this already. Plenty of info on it out there. I just never thought to ask the question.

Thanks for the info. Did you make your own holsters or find a factory option? Hoe does it sound suppressed?

Havent found a hoster for it. Just use it at the range. It is hearing safe with handloaded 220 subsonics. Not as quiet as a 9mm or 22 but still nice. Wet suppressor is even better.

I built a G23 version, took it to the range, and it went full-auto burst and the frame cracked. Salvaged the parts for my other Glocks and decided to not try that again.

While I was building it, I discovered that I could have built a 10 mm version and was going to build one next, until reality happened.
