So I'm rocking and rolling with my Glock, installing the new ZEV trigger kit. I reassembled my lower, and noticed that there seems to be a bit of spring tension on the trigger as it lies. I don't remember ever holding a Glock that had rearward tension on the trigger before. I conducted some tests where I isolated the trigger safety by holding the actual trigger in place and tripping the trigger safety, and sure enough SNAP! The trigger activated as soon as I disengaged the trigger safety from the frame. It also isn't re-setting every time I cycle the slide. So now in effect, I have a hair trigger on my G19 (which is kinda cool for shooting at the range.... not gonna lie) that may or may not reset. A hair trigger that is activated by the safety & internal sping tension of the gun, and not my finger's actual rear-ward pressure on the trigger.... which to be honest, kinda scares the crap out of me as this is a carry gun and not a straight racing gun.
I'll be keeping the ZEV connector and firing pin springs since those are really the parts that matter most anyway

Any thoughts before I yank out the ZEV spring and throw an OEM Glock spring back in? Did I do something wrong with this spring? Or is this just how the light trigger works?

Sounds like you reassembled things incorrectly.

The trigger springs are pretty much the same length.

You didn't mention what model you have.

Take it apart and reassemble it.

Can you post a few pics of just the trigger housing assembly with spring installed as well as the striker assembly after you put the Zev striker spring on it? Sounds like you installed something wrong somewhere along the way.

No. They are both 100% interchangeable.
