New Glock 17: Zev Technologies or Salient Arms?

[drgrant]

You can certainly choose to do that.

But if you have a competition gun and you reload with Federal primers, you are cheating yourself out of a nice, easy, $2 trigger upgrade.

For anything that might at any time see defensive use, then I'm with you 100%.

I've had 100% reliability with my federal primed reloads with either a 3.5 or 4# striker spring. I don't know for sure, but I'd bet I wouldn't do so well against hard Russian primers.

I don't use wolf shitprimers but i still don't like to have a gun married to one brand of primer. Partially because I'm not reloading at tge moment, but even when i do reload i use cci, win, and federal depending on price and availability, probably CCI more than the others. My G34 trigger is good enough as it is; most points lost are from me not the gun. I got a long way to go before I'd feel like the trigger is handicapping me. It's not like its a trigger from an MA M&P or similar. I also have a special kind of hate for guns that die during a match. There is pretty much nothing worse than failing because the gun ****ed up because of something stupid i did to it- because it's avoidable. I hate being "that guy"- aka the feeb that slows everything down because his gun jammed 48 times or whatever.

I only do that for game guns.

I understand where you are coming from Mike.

When my wife and I shoot a match, if we do well, the performance of the guns and the ammunition is almost as satisfying as our own personal performance.

It feels good when after a match I can look back and say Hmm. 600 rounds fired, zero malfunctions.

p.s. Of course, I could also achieve that with a box stock Glock and CCI blazers. Which is what I did in the early days of IDPA. And never had a single malfunction in my stock glock 34. That thing loved aluminum blazers.

-Zev extended mag release
-KKM match barrel
-Zev titanium pins
-Zev stainless guide rod
-Zev 12 lb recoil spring
-Stippling (mild)
-Undercut trigger guard
-Front grip removal

But does it make you run faster, jump higher, and dick harder?

 

[Oscyjack]

Of course it does!

Have not tried running yet, but definitely am dicking (assuming that is the plural) harder. Taking it to the range tomorrow to see how she runs..

I'm glad you had fun.

You might want to try shooting it with the stock recoil spring assembly. You might find you like it better. I've never seen the point in replacing the factory system, especially the new double spring system that seems to make the flat shooting 17 or 34 even more flat shooting.

The trigger must be pretty awesome with the ZEV trigger and the 2 1/2 lb striker spring.

She's all done- lot of Zev, little bit of SAI....

Back before I moved to MA, I used to go on rants about the fact that this is NORTHEAST shooters.

Oh, so it's okay now that you're a part of the crowd?

Good point. I mention it sometimes. I'm still sensitive to it.

Badcat - that looks very nice. Well done.
