Banacek Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I had a Zev trigger in my G35 for two years and it stopped working. The trigger was hitting the frame and it would not fire, I tried to change the over travel and broke the wrenches, Zev sent me a new trigger and that did not fix the problem. Original trigger works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixsomd Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I went through 3 Zev triggers. In my G35 I kept having the portion of the trigger where they insert a small spring for the safety break. They covered the first two with a replacement item. Last one they didn't and that's when I switched to glocktriggers.com.Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will put the Zev into another Glock or sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepdog566 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I just installed a zev...was working fine dry fire then next day it started firing on trigger reset. Changed out the connector and it’s back to working order. Not real impressed so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lefty o Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 mine did the same at first. dont remember how i solved it, but it took some tinkering. one thing is for certain zev doesnt answer the phone, return calls, or reply to emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drivenagain Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I had it happen in a match and almost got DQ'd for a ND, I actually have a video of it doing it. I have the stock connector in now and it works flawlessly. Before me polishing it to death, it worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried that and broke the L wrenches and yes this was after heating the trigger to loosen the locktite. I did not try doing that on the replacement trigger since that was just sent to me and should have been set to proper factory specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven420 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I have a Glock 26, 19, 23, 23c, 22, 22c, 35, 20c, all have Ultimate ZEV triggers in them. Once they are adjusted correctly i’ve never had a problem with any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covfefe Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I have a zev Tech ultimate in four guns: 17, 21, 34 and 35. First two work great with basically no adjustments....the 34 & 35 have just never adjusted properly. I have tried every permutation of pre and over travel adjustment...sent it back to zev. No luck. Id like to think it’s the long slide glocks that are the problem but I know that’s not it. I guess stamped parts and polymer frames just vary and no two are alike out of the box....

I bought a Pyramid trigger at the GlockStore and it is working in the G35. I will use the Zev in my G31 or try it in my G41. Both triggers are good but I am still wondering why it worked fine for 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really strange. Still is. He doesn’t shoot it much and is switching it out for a different one now. It’s almost like binary fire. Shoots and then shoots when it resets. Super dangerous really. Especially for a $250 trigger. It’s been like that since day one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigsauerfan Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 when it does this, just pinching the tab that rubs against the striker legs with a long noze and give it couple microns up should rule out the problem. i say MICRONS . that means applying just a little pressure in the upward direction . i got this when i reworked my zev units trying to lower even more the trigger break weight. the line is very fine between getting accidental doubles and extracting 100% of the trigger.

Shootnscoot Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Did you contact Zev about the issue? I am curious what they have told customers. They sent me a new connector. I can’t recall they’re exact explanation. I think they mentioned the faulty connector may have been bent. Other shooters(some armorers) say that Zev are known for these problems and need to be replaced with greater frequency than stock parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidp1911 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) I had a Zev installed but it was still mushy until I went with a Royal Arms short bow... much better now! I use Royal on all my Glocks now. Edited July 16, 2018 by Davidp1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul49 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I've seen multiple Zev triggers in USPSA competition and they seem predisposed to light strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
