Ed Brown Products Joins Forces with ZEV Technologies to add the ZEV 1911 to their growing line of the World’s Finest Custom Handguns

Tuesday, January 16th, 2018

PERRY, MO – While best known for traditional custom 1911s, Ed Brown Products, Inc. is excited to be collaborating with ZEV Technologies, Inc. in the design of a new, aggressively styled 1911. The ZEV 1911 pistol reinforces the new and exciting things that are to come from the second-generation leadership at Ed Brown Products.

The new ZEV 1911 was designed to push the limit of what is possible with a 1911, and an example of why Ed Brown Products is the leader in custom 1911s. Working with ZEV Technologies to develop this crossover pistol allows both polymer and steel fans a chance to enjoy some of the same unique, edgy designs in their next custom 1911 purchase. Based on ZEV’s most popular design, the Dragonfly, the design shares the aggressive styling while maintaining the structural rigidity of the 1911 slide. Taking a cue from the ZEV look, the dimpled barrel, visible through the side and top slide ports make for a striking effect. The top of the slide showcases our new 7-top slide cuts, and is topped with a Trijicon RMR sight and tall night sights. The integral rail frame features edgy machining accents on the rail, while the frontstrap is adorned with the FX1 Snakeskin. A threaded suppressor ready barrel complete with a ZEV thread protector, recessed slide stop with serrated pin, and a blended one-piece magwell housing, finish out this show-stopping pistol, all built with fully machined parts and backed by our Lifetime warranty.

John May, Sales and Marketing Director for Ed Brown Products told us, “We have been the authority on traditional 1911s for 50 years, and in the years to come, we intend to be the leader on new, cutting edge handguns as well. It has been a true pleasure to work with the ZEV crew, and we can’t wait to do it again!”

Dave Roberts, VP Marketing and business development for ZEV Technologies said “ZEV is thrilled to be a part of this exciting project. The 1911 has a rich history that we simply could not ignore, Ed Brown Products have mastered the 1911 so it seemed to be a perfect fit and we are looking forward to more projects in the future.

ZEV Technologies Announces New Line of Rifle Products

Friday, October 6th, 2017

Since the announcement of the MEGA ARMS acquisition by ZEV Technologies in March 2017, questions and rumors have been swirling around about how the newly blended company would operate. Both companies have strong backgrounds with passionate founders and loyal customers.

Mike Miller founded MEGA over 15 years ago and he grew it quickly because of MEGA’s reputation for extremely tight tolerances, meticulous quality inspection and great finish work. MEGA began building components for several high-end rifle brands and ultimately launched its own brand of products known for precision and accuracy.

Alec Wolf founded ZEV to improve the performance of Glocks for professional shooters. ZEV products began to win world championships (including several while building guns for Team Glock). ZEV’s business grew rapidly as all types of Glock owners came to appreciate how much ZEV’s products improved the design, feel and performance of their guns.

MEGA built its business via an intense focus on precision and quality while ZEV built its business delivering game changing innovation resulting in better design and performance. With this acquisition, the shared DNA of both companies is amplified.

If you are familiar with the precision fit and finish of a MEGA, rest assured, the quality you know, love and trust will not change. The same great people are building these parts with the same passion for precision. What you can expect to see is more collaboration between Mike, Alec and the rest of ZEV’s design team. Together we expect to lead with both innovative design and best in class precision and quality.

Today we are excited to announce our new line of ZEV rifle products, the first of many new offerings we will bring to market as one company.

ZEV Wedge Lock Handguards

Machined from aircraft grade aluminum to keep the wall thickness thin, but still strong enough for any environment.
