HOLY CR@P, $250 for a trigger on a Glock?
that's what I was thinking...full range report required
I'm definitely not a technical guy, I don't know if I could give a real decent range report, but I'll give it a shot when I get to shoot it.
I can report on two things: trigger pull and installation.
The whole unit is a drop in. Installation was easy peasy. Couldn't get any easier, I would say. The instructions are horrific and absurdly unspecific. Thankfully, Fooped had done a trigger job on a Glock before so he already knew how to disassemble and reassemble all the components.
Trigger pull went from a stock 6lbs or so to somewhere around 3-4 with no adjustments on the trigger. They recommend shooting it and adjusting it a bit to suit your needs. On comparing the new trigger feel to a stock G17 side by side, the difference is pretty incredible. The ZEV is really REALLY crisp, and breaks clean and light. There is a definite positive stoppage when you pull the trigger, right before it breaks, making a stock Glock trigger feel horribly spongy by comparison.
Without shooting it, so far I am really happy with the feel. Can't wait to get it out to the range.

Uberti 1860 Henry rifle in .45 Colt. Man, this is one fun shooter. I put a couple of hundred rounds through it and it fucntioned smoothly and without incident. It holds 13 rounds and while not a tack driver by any means I was able to hit static clay pigeons at 50 - 60 yards. Another childhood dream fulfilled. The photo is a stock photo.

so cute - he might not sleep so well at the range!
I know I put this up in the 1911 forum, but who can get enough of a 1911 ![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")
I waited to get the few accessories I wanted to add so it would be complete in "new acquisitions"
I like my guns subtle, Cylinder & Slide Micarta green\black grips and two CMC 8round mags....that's all it needed.

.45 ACP and 7,5x55 Swiss from M&M's, only box of either. The 3 boxes of .40 S&W are courtesy of Dick's in Plymouth; they had 4 but he would only let me take the 3 of 'em.
Monday they become empty brass for my pre-reloading stash.![[devil]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/015.gif "Devil [devil]")

Thanks, he really took a big chunk out of the shooting budget for a while but well worth it.
How do you like it?
There is nothing not to like, its light weight, extremely bright and a perfect fit.
I just bought my first firearm. Sweet
Great choice for a first gun!
Congrats on your first purchase, yogipooh!! Great pic!
The gun was last month: A vintage Remington 870 police that I picked up in the classifieds. The add-ons were installed this evening.
Before:
After the installation of the Knoxx Stock, Hogue forend, and Choate 2-shot magazine extension this evening.
