Zev Frame Work

**Nowski87** · 11-17-17, 08:42

Has anyone here sent their frame to Zev to be modified. I have a gen 3 19c that I love but the grip is just a little big and slick for my liking and while the finger grooves fit my hand I just don’t like finger grooves.

I see Zev does frame work now and the slides they do I like but I can’t find any opinions on the frame work, so has anyone here used them?

Just swap out your factory frame for an 80% unit from Polymer 80 with Brownell's aggressive texturing. It'll be much less expensive and you'll get a frame that addresses all the issues you list.

I was thinking about that, but it’s only 175.00 according to Zev’s web site. So it really isn’t that big of a difference in cost.

A watercolour set is $5 from the local art mart, but you don't see me painting masterpieces. I've done my own stippling job before, and it's no where as nice as some of the work I'd pay for.

I agree and I have a wood burning kit and was toying with the idea but I don’t trust myself not to screw it up.

I know what I can buy and I know what I could do on my own but that isn’t the question at hand.

I've seen a few at the local LGS. They look ok, not as nice as some of the smaller shops. My personal fav is Cold Bore Customs. Looks like about the same price. Might be a little longer turnaround time but Lane's work is top notch. He's done a bunch of frames for me over the years and his work is exemplary.

I had some work done by them a few years back.

They did a double undercut, remove finger grooves, stipple and add forward thumb pads (not sure proper name).

The grip mods change the feel, but there's some mistakes in the work. Not the greatest aesthetically compared to other companies out there.
