I'm about to pick one up.
I know they come stripped and assume that is without the channel liner. Is that right,I just want to have all the parts I need ready to go when it comes in. |
| ZEV slides come with the channel liner in them,per their website under specs. Mine did. They are really nice slides and their trigger kits are really nice. I have the fulcrum kit in mine and it has a very smooth pull and crisp let off without even having to adjust the trigger. |
| I have a factory one in mine now and the 3lb. ZEV spring. Of course I have the trigger group and is much better than the factory set up I had in their originally. I couldn't tell you if it will be any better with the ZEV striker but they do make good stuff. I would shoot it first with the factory items and go from there. These things can get pricey quick but in the sale forums here, you can find some awesome deals which are worth taking the chance. |

Thanks man.
Just got of the phone with a friend of mine that me and my brother work on his plane,he's a huge Glock fan. He said he has several different strikers from different companies,said I could try them out and keep the one I liked the best. Don't know what companies but I won't be picky.

I could start a new thread, but thought I'd ask here, since this thread is discussing "striker chamber Polymer linings". I've owned Glocks for well over 20 years, but never really disassembled one completely until recently, when I built a couple of Glock 19s from scratch (with complete uppers). So, here is my question... is there another plastic striker chamber lining other than the black polymer cylinder at the rear of the striker assembly? Is there still a second polymer lining inside the striker chamber once you remove the striker assembly?
I recently disassembled one of my G19 uppers to send it off and have it Cerakoted and did not see or notice a secondary plastic striker chamber lining in the stock Glock upper slide assembly. Am I missing something? Thanks   |

Yeah there's a thin plastic sleeve lightly pressed in the striker channel in the slide. A good Ceracoat place will replace it as they don't hold up well in a curing oven. The firearms refinishing business that did the cerakote on my slide are professionals and have a good reputation in my area, and, they did a great job on my slide. I did not ask them about the lining sleeve or whether they replaced it, because I did not know it was there. How can you tell if it's still in there? The slide went back together well and it shoots great. But I would like to know if the plastic lining was replaced or not. I'll email them and ask.  I just learned something new about Glocks... ETA: I just disassembled my G19 slide and took a look inside the striker firing pin channel, and, the plastic liner is there. And, it does not look distorted or mutilated in any way that I could tell. I did send the refinishing folks an email and asked about the channel liner and how they deal with that. I feel a little better about the situation, but still embarrassed about my ignorance on the liner. I honestly didn't know it was there.  |
| For the longest time I didn't realize there was one in there either. I was told it is the reason you don't need and shouldn't put any grease/oil inside the slide of a Glock. It is used to reduce friction, smooth operation and to overcome any burrs/imperfections to parts. If you ever remove it to put in another the Glock Store sells a nice little tool for putting one in as they are not that easy to do without screwing it sometimes but can be done with finesse, if you don't have the tool. |

I didn't see the spec tab when looking. 
So I guess all I need is the striker now. Should I just go with a stock or is the any advantage for the lighter aftermarket ones? Zev slides do include channel liners as others have mentioned. If you have to replace one, I also highly suggest having the correct tool. There are videos out there that explain the finer points of doing this. |

I have many ZEV slides, and have probably ordered over a dozen of them over the past 2 years. They all came with liners, all the newer ones even came with the RMR cover.
Its crazy how much lighter a zev slide feels over a stock slide, even with the RMR mounted it feels lighter. But there is tolerance stacking issues. I've had some not quite work 100% on other lowers, and triggers that would not work in combination with certain frame/slide combo's. BUT luckily I've had so many glocks, I was able to swap out parts etc till they ALL worked. Personally for "wow" factor, the zev dragonfly is hard to beat, the Trilobyte is how glock should come from the factory, and if you want AGGRESSIVE, try the socom, their slide grips your hand like no other, makes racking the slide effortless from any spot. |

Eventually I will probably have both just can't figure out which one I want first. |

I love the deep dark black finish, smooth curves, front serrations are grippy without being cheese graters. The socom has 90 degree cuts basically, so you have a "sharp" edge when you are grabbing at the serrations vs the scalloped serrations of the trilo. Attached File |

Trilobyte has been discontinued, so that would make your choice a little easier. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/disgookonfiya/Guns/FD238925-AF94-40FA-97DB-505344548233_zpsaje9tpcj.jpg I love the deep dark black finish, smooth curves, front serrations are grippy without being cheese graters.
