That's why all the trigger components will be OEM. Hopefully I won't have an ejection/extraction issues with this one. My last new G19 had serious brass to face issues and it was stock.

My g19 has the brass to the face issue as well. Too bad because I shoot it better than most of my other pistols.

Zev parts are sexy and all but how much more accurate and/or reliable than stock?
Did you change it mostly for looks?

The stippling looks top notch!

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

I mostly go at it cause of the price. Usually they are $220ish. I got it for $159. Figured if I don't like it I can always get my money back by selling it used.

I really like it. I don't have to adjust my grip to eject the mag. This isn't really a gun that I'm going to carry so I'm not to worried about accidently ejecting a mag

Dremel tool with a grinding wheel. Just go slow. There are plenty of videos on YouTube of people doing it.

Ok, that makes sense. Nice setup, man. I have a set of the regular CAPs on a few of mine, I've been wanting to try a set of the T-CAP's and your pictures may have pushed me over the edge to order a set.

Beautiful work -- I'd be super proud of that!

I was proud of myself for just replacing the trigger and connector in my G19 without futzing it up.

Maybe I'll ask Santa for a Dremel.

The grip was done in about 4 hours. I used a fine pointed tip. Not sure what size.

Well I can't leave good enough alone. I ended up selling the slide, barrel, and assorted small parts for $335. I then ordered a Zev Dragonfly slide in gun metal grey. I also replaced the trigger with a Suarez flat tactical trigger which basically eliminates any pre-travel. I then went ahead a order a Trijicon RMR RM06.

All told I have spent about $1000 so far including the RMR.

The only thing left it to figure out sights. I really don't want absolute co-witness and the Zev slide seems to be cut a bit deeper than others I have seen. I really want lower 1/3 as I find absolute co-witness to be distracting. I ordered some Ameriglo suppressor sights (non-tritium) and we will see how that works out. I did zero the RMR and it's a tack driver. No failures at all.

I dig it more now. I can always get a plain Jane Glock 19. The finish is slick and finally I have a G19 that doesn't have eractic ejection. Which it did have with the factory slide. It wasn't BTF but they went every where.
