Duration: 25:51

The Trinity Nevada Ground Zero slide for the Glock 19 offers a unique integrated compensator and 'island style' barrel for improved sight tracking. While it boasts premium materials like 416R stainless steel and TiN finish, it requires a break-in period and specific spring tuning (lighter firing pin spring) for reliable cycling. Its high price point positions it as a specialized range or race gun rather than a primary self-defense option.

Quick Summary

The Trinity Nevada GRND ZR0 slide for the Glock 19 features a unique 'island style' barrel with a stationary front sight for faster tracking. Initial reliability issues were resolved by replacing the OEM firing pin spring with a lighter 2lb or 3lb Zev Tech spring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Trinity Nevada GRND ZR0 slide's barrel unique?

The GRND ZR0 slide features an 'island style' barrel where the front sight is attached directly to the barrel. This design keeps the front sight stationary relative to the target during slide cycling, potentially allowing for faster sight tracking.

What issues did the Trinity Nevada GRND ZR0 slide have initially, and how were they fixed?

Out of the box, the slide experienced malfunctions like stovepipes due to a firing pin spring that was too heavy. Replacing it with a lighter 2lb or 3lb Zev Tech firing pin spring resolved these issues and allowed for reliable cycling.

Is the Trinity Nevada GRND ZR0 slide suitable for self-defense?

The reviewer suggests it's not yet recommended for self-defense due to a low round count and the need for tuning. It's better suited as a high-performance range or race gun due to its specialized design and price point.

What are the main pros and cons of the Trinity Nevada GRND ZR0 Glock 19 slide?

Pros include its unique design, stationary front sight ('island style' barrel), and multiple color options. Cons are the non-suppressor height sights, the necessity for spring tuning for reliability, and its high price point.
