Do you know what the gun industry finds impressive?
When a gun is so well-liked, you might construct one without using even a single component from the corporation that created it.
Since ARs attained that status, you have not needed even a single Armalite or Colt component to construct one.
With a variety of firms creating pistols that are Glocks sans Glock parts, Glock has lately attained those heights. In this situation, Polymer80 is useful.
The company’s PFC9, a full-featured 9mm Glock 19-sized-not-a-Glock, was recently sent to me.
And now, we’re testing Polymer80’s PFC9 to see how it compares to the current crop of Glock handguns. We’ll examine the details and attributes, the benefits and drawbacks, and even take it to the range.
So if you’ve been craving a Glock replica…Continue reading!
CONS AND PROS OF THE PFC9
Cons
- Not compatible with all Glock parts and accessories
Pros
- Awesome grip ergonomics
- Aggressive grip stippling
- Fractionally longer grip
- Glock like reliability
The PFC9 from Polymer80 is a reliable Glock substitute that also has a sizable selection of parts, accessories, and upgrades that are compatible with the Glock platform.
Having said that, it is limited to the third generation and incompatible with all upgrades. The platform’s ergonomics are greatly enhanced by changing the frame.

WHAT DIFFERENTIATES IT?
Hard to say. It is simple to draw comparisons with other contemporary, small, striker-fired pistols with polymer frames.
The time and thought put into making a more ergonomic grip really shine out.
Polymer80 brings that work straight to your door without the wait and expense associated with custom grip work, unlike the common practice of sending out polymer frame pistols for grip repair.
WHAT WAY DOES IT SHOT?
It’s helpful to have a set of bright sights that are simple to see and straightforward in any lighting circumstances.
I can consistently hit the target with accurate rounds by smoothly aligning the three dots and focusing on the front sight. I began practicing basic 15-yard slow fire to see what sort of groups the PFC9 could pin down.
I was standing and firing at 15 yards when I achieved 2.25-inch groups, firing as quickly as I could safely recover. It would probably become more rigid if I threw a red dot on it.
