They are manufactured in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility from a single billet of 17-4 stainless steel to tighter tolerances than factory slides for increased consistency in barrel lockup which improves accuracy. - All ZEV slides have our patented optic cut which features posts allowing for more thread area keeping your optic securely mounted to your slide. ZEV slides weigh less than factory slides therefore reduce reciprocating weight which reduces fatigue and allows for faster shot follow-up placement. - ZEV Stripped Slides features: - Machined from 17-4 Stainless steel billet - Lowered ejection port to aid in ejection of brass - Match grade precision milled tolerances that are tighter than factory - Improved accuracy and grouping performance upon installation - DLC or PVD coatings offered have a Rockwell hardness rating above that of factory coatings - RMR adapter plate included
