I doubt that. I used a dremel workstation and my holes seem to be 100% correct.
Help! PF9ss Issues

OK... what about a different housing?
It could be that the P80 housing sits lower and that could have made the difference. From everything stated, it sounds like the OE Glock housing was too tall for the frame.

My P80 G43 clone went together without a bump. I put a PSA slide on it. I haven't shot it much because I prefer the Dagger Micro and the genuine G43x over the P80. Even so, I put a couple hundred rounds thru the PFss and it ran fine.Yeah dude, it’s all OEM bought from marinegunbuilder. I made sure to get the G43 OEM lpk and oem g43x slide. I just filed off a good amount off the top of my ejector as it was literally scraping away at the bottom of my slide. I have no wordsMy pf940c and pf940v2 went together like legos with OEM parts and this pf9ss is just straight trouble.
I have on rare occasion received parts that were mislabeled and didnt fit. I eventually settled on No Quarter, Rook, and NDZ as a source for lower parts. Most of my slides are Zaffiri or Norsso and I’d usually buy the slide parts kit from them. OEM parts are the sure thing but I never had a single issue with aftermarket parts from the vendors I mentioned here. Or OEM for that matter. Couple of times of eBay… wrong part sent or it was mislabeled. Also cheap pin kits from eBay that were oversized.
For what it's worth I also put a Johnny Glock 4311 trigger on a PSA Dagger Micro, which is a G43 clone. Johnny only uses OEM parts then works his magic on them. I was expecting some fitment issues because the Daggers are a bit different from most 80% DIY frames out there - but there weren’t any.

It’s either the wrong trigger housing or the pin holes are not where they should be as Racer suggested. I see no other possibilities. The likelihood of the frame being irregular is highly unlikely - as is the slide being out of spec.
If the glove don't fit, you must acquit!

Lol OJ.
The half of America that was worth a shit knew OJ was guilty.
And the half not worth shit knew he was guilty but wanted him freed.

Don’t have any single stack housings. Only double stack- which don’t fit
I don’t know, I just emailed MGB about this and he said that the P80 mold and rails for this frame were subpar and the trigger housing will sit (not) flush, causing issues. He also confirmed that he sent me the right trigger housing
Of course... you have to use the right housing. What about buying another housing and see if it helps? Maybe this one is out of spec somehow.
Yep. Im gonna try to file this down a little and make it work, and if anything unexpected happens I’ll just get a new housing.

Strange. That G43 P80 clone was a popular build. I can’t recall hearing about the frame being flaky. Mine was not. But that is of course a sample of one.
My rear rails were Rook. I usually tossed the stamped P80 rails.
The only time I struggled with getting a trigger dialed in was a Timney on the P80 Compact. I didn’t want to modify the housing because it would void the warranty and any hope of a refund. I ended up putting the trigger in an OEM Glock and it fit perfectly. Timney tech support was uninterested once I mentioned P80. They said… not supported.

My 43 clone is using the rails supplied with the frame from P80. The arched area and bottom of the rear rail assembly needed some material removed to fit into the frame correctly. If done right, the holes line up perfectly and the pins can be pushed in as intended.
Just like the larger frames sometimes required... (if using P80-supplied rails)
This issue sounds different but it’s hard to tell without looking at it in person. Sounds like the holes align but the housing is too tall.
Would you mind sending a photo of the back of the trigger housing in your frame? Is it flush?
I just built my last remaining pf9ss and just noticed this on BOTH my pf9ss frames.. It seems the left side pinhole on both is slightly *angled* the right side isn’t however. But on both frames the specific pinhole is angled.. making the pin not able to go through from that side. However, I am able to put my pin in from the right side to the left on both perfectly fine. My question is how?? My dremel workstation is level and I am using the precision bits.

Did you drill each side separately of the other or did you go all the way through from one side? Was your jig taped or secured so it was completely closed and snug?
Drilled each side separately and yes the jig was taped.
No red jig material came up either during drilling, my dremel press was dead on. I luckily used a 2.8mm bit so I have some room to work with. I could potentially go in by hand with the stock 3mm bit and open it up slightly?
