GLOCK P80 Retro Reproduction

This week on the Vickers Tactical KZbin Channel we have a must-watch video for any Retro Firearms or Glock fans, the Glock P80. This Lipsey's exclusive is a brand new reproduction of the historic pistol that started it all for Glock. This was a dream project for me, that I never thought would happen, and I can't believe how well it turned out. Go check out the video and remember to Subscribe below.

This thing must have felt like a space Gun when it came out in the 80s. So cool

[@duncanbrodie1]

It felt like plastic to them. Nobody liked it at first.

[@Ideo7Z]

@@duncanbrodie1 Exactly. Shooters back then were skeptical about a "plastic" terrorist special. No way it was equal to metal frame guns. Nor would you trust your life to them. We'd call them Fudds today.

[@casualviewer319]

The original triggers were mushy creepers, oh nevermind they still are....

[@jimbo9357]

Combat tupperware.

[@AdamBorseti]

There's a fantastic book about the history of Glock, from the Austrian pistol trials and Gaston himself, right through to the most recent models. It went into depth about the early infamy in the public eyes, the myths, the unfounded fears, the Glock in popular culture, various trade show adventures/misadventures; I recommend it as I found it was very informative and enjoyable. I bought the Audible version myself. It's "Glock" by Paul M. Barrett.

[@MGood-ij1hi]

You know that you're old when one of the `modern' handguns that you've had in your safe for years is now the latest retro fad.

[@Mando342]

I meannnn it's from the damn 80s

[@michaelgraffam5423]

Where did you get a P80 from years ago? The civilian model was released as the Glock 17 -- or did you just mean that you have a Gen 1 G17?

[@lon242]

If by some chance you have a legit P80 and you live in the States, suoer cool. If you have a Glock 17 Gen 1, kinda cool. Anything after that, lame.

[@Oberkommando]

@@lon242 whats the difference? I am in the Austrian military and we now have Glock Gen4. Everyone calls them p80 since the first Glocks came into service in 1980. Even though we are using gen4 the official name is still P80

[@lon242]

Cool. Quite a few changes as far as Glocks through the generations go; the number of pins used for the frame, parts interchangeability, etc. For example, the recoil spring used in a Gen 3 is no longer compatible with a Gen 4. Gen 5 introduced a new trigger and slide stop design and is largely no longer compatible with older gen guns. What makes the original P80 and Glock 17 Gen 1 special in the American market is that so few of them were imported into the country before Glock really took off here with the Gen 2. An original Austrian military P80 is virtually impossible to find. You could maybe find a Glock 17 Gen 1 for ~$3000 which is kind of ridiculous. So, that's why people think this retro reissue is cool.

Let me say this...I’m a Glock fanboy and up until about three days ago, I had no idea this was being introduced. As soon as I found out, I tried ordering one on line, but I found one locally. It is now part of my collection. I just had to have it!

[@maskedman1980]

Aaron B I have two 27s. Was my backup/off duty gun for a bit. It’s snappy for sure, but I was confident in the caliber and my abilities with it. Now, I carry the 43 since it’s just so damn convenient.

[@natedog1619]

Pretty sure they make 9mm conversion barrels for G27’s correct me if I am wrong

[@NuclearGrizzly]

I've been carrying the same Gen 1 for over 30 years (I prefer the smooth finish). I can finally replace her.

@Aaron B Yes, produced from 1949 onwards.

[@920utdoors9]

Isn't p210 in production now

[@Xerxes1688]

The one with more extreme slide and frame scallops? The reason why CZ stopped doing the pistol that way was for mass production, they used lesser quality steel, which was less harsh on the milling equipment, but added more material to compensate (and, again, less milling time).

[@MrPh30]

I had P80 in Norwegian army. We used 147 smg ammo in them. I got a Hogue slipon grip for it,and it was so much better to use then . We shot much with them, 50 shots minimum ,that was much for standard here, and more likely 200 each week .

[@MrPh30]

@Jbog07 They were worn when we got them ,who knows when issued first,,but as i remember low serial number on them. Suddenly our magazines started fall out , they were a bit worn there ,change of parts back in service. As the logic was,wear the material down instead of much new.

[@MrPh30]

@Jbog07 Maintenancewise ,many of the guys used too much oil on them, just few drops on them held after it was cleaned . But most cleaned them twice a week or more, since we carried live ammo constantly in them .

[@rogervasquez7640]

I was hoping for the white stainless barrel like on the early P80s and the austrian army markings but still a cool gun to own.

[@danielwatters1203]

It also doesn't have the early narrow "pencil" barrel profile. In addition, it has a captured recoil spring, which was not introduced until a few years after the Gen 2 came out. That said, it is still neat that Glock would modify a new frame mold just to make a limited retro series.

[@Xerxes1688]

I really hope if they offer more retro, railess models, but from the GEN 2, like G19, G17L or even a faux early G18 with extended barrel with compensator cuts, with a faux selector switch that is actually a manual safety instead of making the gun capable of shooting in fullauto.

[@rlsoutdoors997]

Still a beauty

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

The oldschool Glock pistols look much nicer than the later ones, when they started adding a bunch of fingersteps and accessory rails.

[@robertelmore3616]

Did they do the Gen1 internals too? I really thought they'd be Gen5s on the inside, because of the pin set up, but it looks like they're using old style guide rods and recoil spring set ups.

[@shooter2055]

Wonderful. A pistol just as lousy as the one I fondled at Kaiserslautern R&G club in what, '88? I passed on the Steyr GB too, so don't feel too sad, Tupperware guys. I still have the P7/PSP and P9S in .45 I purchased that year.

The magazine drop isn’t smooth, correct? I recall the first 17 having to manually extract the magazine which is mostly a military design to prevent loosing your magazine on the battlefield. Maybe I am wrong but that’s what I recall.

[@burmiester1]

The new ones have standard Gen 4 drop free mags. The OG Gen 1 Glocks were only not drop free if they were partially loaded. This is because they were not lined with metal so they would swell when loaded. When empty the mags would drop free no problems.

MSgt. Vickers the Captive Recoil Spring Guide Rod is NOT Correct for the P80? I know something had to change for Manufacturing requirements but I was wondering if the Original Guide Rod for the P80 was Plastic or Metal and also was the Flat Wire Recoil Spring Available back then or did Glock go with a Standard Wire 17LB Recoil Spring like those from say Wolffs Springs? I have a P80 on Order and hope to have it in my hands very soon and I would like to get the period correct guide rod and spring just to get the FULL P80 Experience I was only 16 years old when the Smyrna Police Dept Adopted the Glock 17 and I got the opportunity to shoot my best friend's father Glock 17 who was a LT with Major Crimes Unit and I fell in love with them from then on and I now own pretty much one or 2 of each model except the sub-compacts since I have big hands or the 45 GAP models ammo is too much of a pain to GET even in FL where the FL Highway Patrol is still using!
