The glock 80% market is blowing up with very very easy to finish kits. It can be done with a hand drill and an xacto knife in under a hour.

The shooter in the article probably built a 1911 from an 80% kit and the kits are getting easier to finish. The virginia tech shooter used two pistols I believe.

Just stating that some pistol kits are very easy to finish as opposed to an ar/ak

I’d think a 1911 would require more, given they seem to be so finicky. Maybe that’s next on my project list. Glocks, meh. Never cared for them.

The ATF raided some shop in CA specializing in polymer lowers. Claimed they were too easy to finish, though they still met the 80% standard.
