Polymer 80 releases a temporary work around of their 80% pistol frame.

This frame, called the “bridge” frame or “ATF Compliant” frame ads more polymer into the trigger housing area to bring the 80% back into compliance.

Online this has been jokingly labled the 69% frame and not everyone is a big fan.

The good news is Polymer 80 states this is only temporary or a “bridge” until the court battle completes wich they fully expect to win and reverse the 80% ban.
