P80 Build (Slow and Steady)

Hey guess I know it's been a while but I have done results on the polishing. Took longer partly because I nicked the frame and had to fix it haha.

Finally finished and functioning fairly well imo. I have a few dummy rounds that I use to make sure they are extracted without hiccup. This means I have to cycle them out through racking the slide. Only issue I seem to have is on the second to last dummy the slide lock engages. I'm not sure why but I don't know if it would happens with live rounds yet.

I have prepared for any flaming however I registered the gun for my wife the other day using the efa10 on the portal which legally documents it. I hope she has fun using it.

Ps the back is all marred up because I'm an idiot and couldn't figure out how to take the backing plate. Watched a video figured it out so the next one I do won't look so ugly haha.

I had the same problem with a P80 G17 did it on live rounds (reloads), do to the weather only had time to put 70 rounds thru it. Next time I'm going to see if it does it with a different magazine, other that shot good
 
So I just noticed something, the firing pin isn't resetting. I rack the slide pull the trigger rack the slide to reset and the firing pin is poking out. Any ideas?

After doing some P80’s and a couple of the GST-9’s I like the GST-9. I wish I bought a few more during 5Dtacticals flash sale. They sold out now there is only the GST-9 mod 1 which frame and jig will run around $170. I think the flash sale was $130ish which is close to what the P80’s are starting to go for. I almost bought the freedom wolf or whatever it’s called back when they had them for $50 but I too saw the glued rails and figured I’d pass.

Last I checked, Freedom Wolf 80% were $75/ea
 
Freedom Wolf 80%: $75
Freedom Wolf Lower Parts Kit: $75
US Patriot Armory G19 complete upper (slide, barrel, etc): $265
10-round Mag: $20

All-in cost ~$500?! Not bad!
