GST-9 Mod 1

[dagnabbit51]

Got my GST-9 Mod 1 completed. This was a pretty easy build. The jig makes drilling and milling very easy. All parts fit and function as they should. This makes my third 80. One Freedom Wolf, one early P80 and the GST-9 Mod 1. I did all the function tests including the drop test and the gun works as it should. Slide operates smoothly. Now, I need to get some range time.

Looking forward to your range report

Going to be building a pistol range on the property so it might be a bit before I report back.

Got to say I like the feel of my gst 9 better than the p80 both are great but I think if your hands are med to smaller size the get fits better

The white one is the Mod1. They redid the gas pedals, little bit different rail and took some off of the dovetail on the Mod1. It also has the 2 piece rear rail system, rather than the p80 style 1 piece in the earlier version. Plus the stippling is a little different.

Nice job!!

FWIW, I have large/xl hands (but not terribly meaty or fat), and I too, find the GST9’s grip much more ergonomic than the PF940C’s grip (we have both frames); albeit just a tad on the small side ( I’d prefer just a wee bit more girth)…installing the Hogue Handall Beavertail grip for Glock 19 really brought it where I like it. Amazingly so.

That same grip I’d originally installed on a P80 to mitigate the blocky nature of it, but removed it as it was a bit too much, in spite of making it it far more ergonomic than the oem bare P80 grip…but installing a talon grip decal on the P80 did make an improvement and I left it on. YMMV.

With all the interest in the GST9 coming about now, I’d sure like to try a mod one project to compare versions. Again, NICE JOB!!
