Your Questions Answered
Is this a complete firearm?
No. This is a frame only, often referred to as a “receiver” or “firearm” per federal regulations. It requires additional components (slide, barrel, internal parts kit) to become a functioning pistol and must be transferred through an FFL.
What generation Glock parts does it use?
This frame is designed to use Generation 3 and Generation 4 internal parts kits, locking blocks, and slide stop levers. It will accept Gen3, Gen4, and Gen5 slides. Our staff notes the fit with Gen4 frames is slightly snugger than with Gen5.
How translucent is the material?
The hypo translucent polymer allows light to pass through, giving it a distinctive, semi-opaque appearance. You can see shadows and outlines of internal parts once assembled, but it is not fully clear like glass. The color is a natural, earthy beige/brown tone.
