Publication number: 20230417500Abstract: The present invention provides a pistol with a frame having a rear grip, a trigger facility forward of the grip and an upper surface. An elongated slide is connected to the frame and operable to reciprocate along the upper surface. The frame defines a rear recess open at the upper surface. An insert is included having a major portion removably received in the rear recess and having a frame rail extending from the major portion above the upper surface. The frame rail is adapted to connect with the slide to constrain reciprocation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: Polymer80, Inc.Inventors: David Borges, Loran Kelley, Michael Guttridge, Grant Griffard

Publication number: 20220228824Abstract: An unfinished firearm frame having a top adapted to receive a slide. Where rear restriction protrusions extend from the top of the frame near a rear of the frame which restricts addition of the slide to the frame and front restriction protrusions extend from the top of the frame and forward of the at least one rear restriction protrusion which restricts addition of the slide to the frame. Where there is a recoil assembly block adapted to prevent a recoil assembly from being assembled into the frame. A jig having a right side and a left side to receive and clamp the frame. The jig including three pin hole guides, a removal guide edge for each of the at least one rear restriction protrusion and the at least one front restriction protrusion and a recoil assembly cutout to allow a tool to pass to the recoil assembly block.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2022Publication date: July 21, 2022Applicant: Polymer80, Inc.Inventors: David Borges, Loran Kelley, Grant Griffard, Michael Guttridge
