After reading article, it got me curious into thinking that it maybe a fun/rewarding hobby to work on...

This seems like something good to get into because trying to buy a Glock lower is pretty expensive.

Wonder how an all polymer will hold up with the metal on the slide rails

It depends on the quality of the polymer but I kind of suspect there's some type of trigger control group insert that's going to be required to make that 80% frame work.

No metal reinforcement for the slide to ride on?

Hmm, might have to wait a while and see other peoples results first.

It's not as bad as it initially sounded... http://www.polymer80.com/Spectre-FAQ_ep_46-1.html

There are other pistols where part of the rail system is only polymer as well that are doing surprisingly well so this frame looks interesting.

It says the front rails are metal.

I have been thinking of pulling the trigger on this has any one else done so?

I have a sample coming in a few weeks.

[dirtdog]
