When you say fail can you clarify? Talking about operational failures cleared by immediate action or do you mean breakages?
Most common was a failure to reset, so a dead trigger. Sometimes fixed by immediate action, sometimes not. No breakages, as I threw them away before they had a chance.
Yeah the trigger reset or rather the trigger safety reset is the primary issue one may encounter when changing out some of these items. If I recall it is the striker spring specifically that causes the issue but I've read in some cases some people never have this issue and then others have taken their target striker spring and stretched it a little bit to address this. Of course at that point you could have just bought a more appropriate spring but as I said cheap enough I just want to try it and see how it feels and at the very least that gives me an idea what a real drop in replacement trigger from somebody like Timmy would probably work before I spend the bigger bucks on that.
There are very small tolerance variances in receivers. I had the issue with a Zev trigger and Zev slide on a competition glock and it took nearly a month of working with them to get everything to 100% reliable. They swapped the trigger completely to one they didn’t list for sale at the time and it accommodates for that variance. It was golden after that, but was easy to forget after the first time I shot a 2011 pistol.
First off Congrats on your 22 year anniversary Dave! ?
The Zev/Magpul unit will a definite home in my safe!I've been mulling over the idea of getting the CMMG 5.7 setup with the AR mags for one of my SBR lowers and going super short with like a 5" barrel or something. 50 rounds of close range soft armor penetration...
Also has a nearly identical footprint as a PS90.
But then I remembered that ZEV/Magpul are finally releasing the FMG-9 and I've been lusting after one of these since Magpul showed it all those years ago...
I want one as a truck gun. Something with that footprint you could hide in all kinds of clever ways in a vehicle.
