if you're looking at buying a slide and frame separately why not just buy some guy's lightly used one?

Yeah you should be able to rattle your local pawn shop into selling you a gen 3 for like 350 lol

We sell them for about that

Because sellers are not often honest about their stuff I feel like

I really do need to stop at the pawn down the road

How so?

A dude tried to sell me his AR15 and turns out the boltface was cracked when he said he never fired it after building it

FTS

Yeah that's rarted but that's why you give shit once over

But that's how you save money too

just go to the pawn shop and go to your local gun stores and ask around, im like 99% sure you're going to find something cheaper than $640

pretty sure that's over MSRP

That's over MSRP for a gen5

My local gunstore said they have a gen 4 for 499

that's decent

but I was hoping for gen 3

it is I thought so too

why?

just not sure the dual spring is necessary for 9mm. Wasn't it developed for the .40 for LE?

Why do you want a gen 3 lmao

the dual spring is not going to be the thing that breaks on your gun smh

The dual spring softens recoil impulse you meme

Makes the frames last longer

Makes it a touch softer shooting

it doesn't matter that much but i still prefer gen 4

Yeah it's not a major gain

I also figured it's cheaper for a gen3

But why go for gen 3 for any reason other than cost savings

Yep that

^

Yeah that's the one good reason

But yeah a p80 is a fun project but shouldn't be your main handgun

G2g

unserialized shit also makes me happy

Like I understand but realistically it doesn't matter worth shit

Too many guns not enough cops

These guys are the way to go if you do want to do a p80

Comparable prices to an off the shelf glock

Good shit. Thanks gents.

No prob
