Why We Began
When Polymer80 and others shut down in July 2024, builders lost the products they’d relied on for years. The 80% community needed a path forward.
So we built one.
G80 isn’t just continuing what came before. It’s a next generation 80% platform built from day one to be ruggedly reliable and Supreme Court approved. Made in Austin by the team at Defense Distributed.
Welcome to the future of 80%. Let’s build.

What We Stand For
The 80% community isn’t just a market. It’s a tradition worth protecting.
Builder First
Everything we make starts with one question: does this serve the people actually doing the work? If it doesn’t make your build better, we don’t ship it.
Open by Default
The 120R grip ecosystem is open source. Download the files, print your own, remix the designs. We’d rather grow the community than lock you into our catalog.
Built to Last
Steel over polymer. Precision over shortcuts. A finished G80 should outlast you. We’re not interested in making something you’ll need to replace.
Legal Clarity
We designed G80 around the VanDerStok standard from day one. No gray areas, no guessing. You shouldn’t need a lawyer to finish a build.
