Overview
Built for armory bench work, this block supports a polymer frame pistol during detail disassembly and pin work while helping keep pressure off critical function surfaces. Its pre-positioned bosses, slots, and holes are designed to hold parts in place as pins are driven in and out, and the thumb safety and magazine disconnect can drop into their designated openings to help prevent damage in any position. High density polymer construction is intended to avoid marring the frame, while retaining slots on both sides hold the striker for spring removal and installation. Adjustable bosses and raised side walls add flexibility when positioning the frame and trigger bar for maintenance.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for polymer frame pistol armory work and detail disassembly, so it is not a general-purpose bench block for every firearm platform.
- The block is configured around specific striker formats, with one side for the .45 striker and the other for the 9/40/357 striker.
- Its fixed bosses, slots, and raised walls are intended to support particular parts during service, so users should verify compatibility with their exact pistol and components.
- At 7" long x 4" wide x 1.5" tall, it is a compact tooling plate rather than a large all-purpose work surface.
