G20SF build recommendations

[equin68]

Asking for any advice of the forum.

My plan is to do a G20SF build.

I want to do a build because I can do it for about the same cost as OEM with the added features of:

- Extended barrel with vents

- RMR cut slide



For frame, I see basically three options:

- OEM

- Pf45

• -- Pro: unregistered
• -- Con: there are some lessons learned with the trigger associated.
• https://www.reddit.com/r/polymer80/comments/jxiuh9

- LW timberframe



For the slide, there are a few options. That enable me to do the build with the added features I want.

Is this a fun project or something you plan to use as a defensive pistol?

It will be a carry for walks in the woods

Still needs to be robustly reliable

You picked the trickiest P80 to build.
And finding parts is going to be tough in this market.
Finding a genuine, large frame Glock slide will be tough. Those are hard to find in normal times.
Lone Wolf does a run of large frame slides once in a while.

I did P80 G19 clone and unless you use really low-end parts, you won't save any money over buying a genuine Glock.
I'd be tempted to look for a used G20.

Tolerance stacking can be an issue. When in doubt, use all Glock OEM parts. P80s arent always reliable. I have had to warranty two frames and get a few rails sent out as the originals weren't flat or straight. Good luck. sounds like a cool project

Im actually considering this same build for a 10mm long slide hunter.

I got my NIB Gen4 G20 for $580 not too long ago.

Yup, its easier and cheaper to buy a new glock than build one custome. For me it would be a just for fun project.
For the OP i doubt he could build one cheaper than a new glock. Yeah ive read the 10mm's are the trickiest to build.
