ZEV Technologies Featherweight G35

Glock is a dependable manufacturer of fine handguns from 9mms to .45 ACPs. Known for absolute reliability and durability, Glocks have become a staple of the handgun industry and are popular throughout law-enforcement. But just as Saleen redefined the Mustang and AMG madeover the Mercedes, ZEV Technologies has restyled the Glock, transforming it from an over-the-counter product to a precision pistol worthy of any prized collection.

Based in Ventura, California, ZEV Technologies specializes in the manufacture of precision components for the Glock series of pistols. Known for its precision-trigger kits, ZEV also manufactures premium parts for just about every replaceable Glock component, including complete, ready-to-go slide assemblies. Through its Glockworx division, ZEV also offers complete gunsmithing services You can have your own Glock customized to your purest dreams, or have one custom-built for you.

“As a family run business, we manufacture our products using the best materials and processes available.” ZEV Technologies operations manager Ray Wong said. “All ZEV products are proudly made in America by Americans. ZEV Technologies strives to grow shooting sports and be a model of what is right in the firearms industry.”

“We are not third-generation gunsmiths born into this trade. We are competitive shooters who found a sport that has given us direction to create this company. Our goal is to manufacture high-end performance-firearm parts and to manufacture those parts in America. We are also in California and it is not easy to have a firearms business in this state. We like to think we are fighting the good fight.”
