Polymer80 Closed in 2024. Where to Buy P80 Frames and Parts in 2026
Polymer80 Inc. of Dayton, Nevada stopped operations in July 2024 and began liquidating. The company had spent years fighting lawsuits from Los Angeles, Baltimore, Philadelphia and other cities over untraceable firearms, then lost its main product category when the ATF frame-and-receiver rule took effect in August 2022. The settlements and legal costs finished it. There is no successor company and no factory support.
What it means if you own a Polymer80. Your frame still works and Gen 3 Glock parts still fit it. There is no warranty service, so a cracked rail module or worn jig is replaced by buying the part, not by sending it in. Replacement rail systems, rear rail modules and jigs are the items to buy now while dealer stock lasts, because nobody is making new ones.
What it means if you want to buy one. Everything on the market is existing inventory. Popular colours sell out and do not come back. Prices for complete PFS9 and PFC9 pistols have held steady; prices for PF940C and PF940v2 kits have gone up as stock thins. If you see the colour and model you want in stock, that is the time to buy.
Where to buy genuine Polymer80 in 2026. Authorized distributors and dealers who bought factory inventory before the shutdown. Delaware Firearms in Laurel, Delaware holds PF940C, PF940v2, PF940SC, PF45 and PF9SS frame kits, serialized PFS9 and PFC9 frames and complete pistols, G150 and Rhino AR-15 lowers, and jigs and parts. Every listing uses the manufacturer’s photo and the factory SKU, so you can check it against the old Polymer80 catalogue. Browse the full Polymer80 category.
How to spot a fake. Genuine frames have the Polymer80 name and model molded into the dust cover and a clean, even texture. Copies from overseas marketplaces often have soft mold lines, a wrong shade of FDE, and rail modules that are cast rather than machined. If a listing has no factory SKU and a price far below dealer cost, it is not Polymer80.
Legal status in 2026. The Supreme Court upheld the ATF frame-and-receiver rule in Bondi v. VanDerStok on 26 March 2025, so an 80% frame sold with its jig is a firearm federally: it ships to an FFL and you complete a background check. Sixteen states plus DC go further and restrict unserialized frames outright; see our state-by-state guide. Serialized PFS9 and PFC9 frames are the answer for buyers in those states.
Ordering from Delaware Firearms. Frames, lowers and complete pistols transfer through your licensed FFL dealer with a background check. Jigs, tools, slides and parts ship directly to you. Delaware charges no sales tax. Call the counter with your slide and magazine on hand if you are unsure which frame you need.
Frequently asked questions
Why did Polymer80 go out of business?
Legal costs. The company settled lawsuits with Los Angeles, Baltimore and other cities over untraceable firearms, and the 2022 ATF rule ended sales of frame-and-jig kits direct to consumers. It ceased operations in July 2024.
Are Polymer80 products still legal to buy?
Yes, through an FFL under the federal rule, except in the states that ban unserialized frames. Serialized PFS9 and PFC9 frames are legal handguns in most of those states.
Will Polymer80 parts be made again?
No announcement has been made by any buyer of the tooling. Treat rail modules, jigs and magwells as finite stock.
