    I agree with Holland. I've built several AR's from the ground up but had never tackled a semi auto pistol and I've never own a Glock. It was a very intuitive assembly and incredibly simplistic. Once all the components we're together it functioned flawlessly. I think the key is taking your time with the 80% frame. I worked mine down with the end mill proud and worked down with a file, then 200 grit then finished with 1000. Can't even tell it wasn't injected as it is now. Beyond that I sanded and polished the slide rails which provided glass like action. Very educational and fun process.

    I myself have done several AR’s and would like to learn the functionality of a pistol so figure no better way then to dig in. I purchased a dremil and some small files. Is there anything else that I will need to help smooth out the process?

    This is the same for me. I did put a pin in out of order and had the slide lock spring in the wrong location but after that fix, the thing runs awesome. Very happy I did it.
