I ordered the GST-9 last week. It's supposed to be shipping soon.

I ordered a kit similar to this to complete it. The actual kit I ordered is now sold out.

I'm looking forward to building it. It should be fun.

Got mine and built it!

When did you actually order yours?

From what I have seen on multiple forums 80% Arms is still trying to fill all of the back orders from 2019 and haven't even started on the orders from early 2020

This is from the 80% Arms website:

• All orders placed before January 15th, 2020 for GST-9 Frames will be shipped by 11/1/2020.
  
  
• All orders placed before January 15th, 2020 for GST-9 Build Kits will be shipped by 11/15/2020.
  

Orders placed in 2020 will be quickly filled with our higher production capacity. We will continue to release updated shipping timelines to keep you informed.

I ordered mine on the preorder last year actually. It took forever, not gonna lie! It just kept getting pushed back unfortunately

I saw on another forum that 80% Arms is finally filling late December and early January orders now.

I think they are filling orders as fast as they can. Unfortuntately they are swamped. I sent a message tot heir CS a week ago because the kit was missing pins and haven't heard a word back yet.

I still haven't gotten my frame

I have received the kit I ordered November of 2019, but not the one I ordered April of 2020.

Any updates? I might just buy a Strike Industries for now.

Yea, unfortunately this is not the time to be wanting ammo or 80% lower kits/parts because now that crap is happening EVERYONE wants those items. Always want to be ahead of the curve, not behind it. Always look ahead

Finally got mine and built it. Love it!

My second one (black) finally showed up and just yesterday I finished the first one (fde) I had ordered. Since I already built a few Poly80's in 9mm, I set this one up for 357 Sig. Gonna test it out on the range sometime this week. I also saw that the SI's are now in stock and they're awful tempting!

I have a lot of Safariland Glock holsters, I'd like to be able to use them. That's the main thing with the GST-9 for me. Although if I see the right price on one of those Brownell's G19LS slide/barrel pairings, that would be excellent.

GST-9 is supposed to fit Glock 19 holsters. For me it worked in one I tried, but not another.

What do you guys think, should I just go for it or hold out for green?

If you aren't in a hurry I would wait for the green.

 

[akpls]

With the rumors of 80%'s possibly getting banned I'd probably take what I could get right now.

 

[ashwednesday5]

Both good points. I decided to go with "one in the hand is better than two in the bush." I already got a shipping notification. But I also have a flat dark earth on order, although green would have been cool. Dangit. Second guessing.

I'm really happy with how the FDE turned out and have been tempted to pick up the OD to complete the set.
