So I always wondered How does it feel to own a ZEV Glcok, but could never understand the crazy price where it is still a Glock. So I looked into my current collection, and I picked a Glock 22 that I had the Slide once cerakoted in Burnt Bronze by an MGO member and proceed with a ZEVeving my Glock project..
nothing crazy here, ghost 3.5 connector, extended mag release and extended slide release in burnt Bronze, aluminum flrared magwell, a flat aluminum trigger, and Dawson set of rear black and front fiber optics sights.
The highlight of the adventure was me using the dremel to cut two grooves under the trigger guard: 1) one by the grip to get a higher grip purchase for my strong hand middle finger, and 2) in the middle bottom of the trigger guard for my weak hand index finger.. I was really nervous, but it turned out OK..
The slide is not a ZEV slide, but for a mere $120 I converted what was a $300 glock to look, feel and shoot like A ZEV glock, minus the fancy shmancy cut slide..
How do I feel, I love the flat trigger and the under cuts in the trigger guard.. I have no clue why Glock won't apply these features to their designs.. Call it Glock X5 or something..
Sig has been incorporating after market design enhancements by Gray guns and the like in their Sigs and slap an X or legend next to it and sell it for couple $$ more..
At least this way, if Glock does it it will still be considered stock and could be shot in production and Stock Service pistols.. Now if I want to shoot this ZEVevized Glock it will be in ESP (Enhanced Service Pistol). not abig deal, but really it is not enhanced so much to compete with a CZ SP01 shadow for that matter.
All in all, it was very satisfying to work on the gun, specially the dremel part...
