I don't have one, but I saw a post where they cut too much off the slide and it later cracked after being fired. Don't know about their warranty or if they replaced it for him.

Why exactly would anyone want/need a $600 Glock slide?

Why exactly would anyone want/need a $600 Glock slide? Same reason people pay $200 to have YagerWerks mill purely cosmetic designs on a slide. It looks kewl to amuse and impress your freinds and establish tier of opeator status. Seriously there is no other reason, a factory slide can be milled for a RMR and forward slide serations for a fraction of the cost. |

I am not fighting a war or ever plan to use it for any other purpose except picking holes in paper and ringing steel but I sure look bad ass doing it with a SCAR. Why did I buy a Sig P226 Elite..... because the pistol look cool so that is why we do the things we do. For a competition pistol a lighter slide will cycle faster and increased speed and less mass moving around can improve times. Que up "stop liking things I do not like" |

Guy I know just dropped a ton of coin on building up a ZEV G19. It doesn't float my boat but hes a tier 1 operator now.
He seems to like it and I would hope they will replace a slide for you if it cracks. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the negative comments and reviews are people have buyers remorse. |

It's to the point that I put together guns to just piss people like that off. Because I can, and because I just so happen to like my "tier 1 operator" status. 
To answer OP's question - Zev makes good stuff. That's about all I'll say, as the people who seem to get their dicks hard over putting down any modification to a Glock beside sights will chime in, and I'm not going to argue.

I've had nothing but good things to say about Zev products.
My USPSA Limited gun made by Zev has been running great for 6K rounds this year. I haven't experience issues so long I maintain it like any other gun. All I have had to change is springs for maintenance. |

Hardware doesn't necessarily improve software.
Don't attribute $2K guns with folks shooting poorly. I indeed shoot faster and more accurately with my Zev limited gun compared to a stock Glock 9mm. Zev gun is set up so that I can execute solid fundamentals a bit faster and more accurate. |

That's the issue - anytime the tactical shooting gods here on ARFCOM see a Zev/Agency/FI Glock, etc, they immediately assume the owner shoots poorly, and immediately list off how many "classes" they've attended, in some sort of effort to assert their tactical dominance.
