The ZEV Technologies OZ9 Compact Pistol is a firearm that combines features suitable for personal defense, concealed carry, and duty use. It shares many characteristics with the standard OZ9 model but is designed to be more compact and easily concealable.
One notable feature of the OZ9C is its slimmed-down PRO mag well, which enhances grip comfort and reduces printing when carrying the pistol concealed. The overall design of the OZ9C focuses on achieving balance, which is immediately noticeable when holding the firearm. This balance contributes to a more controllable pistol, reducing felt recoil, and muzzle flip, enabling faster and more accurate follow-up shots.
At the core of the OZ9C is its patented Steel Receiver, a solid steel frame that extends the entire length of the pistol and integrates the locking block. This design provides increased contact surface area between the receiver and the slide, enhancing stability. The steel receiver also features extended rails that improve slide movement and serve as channels for debris clearance and reservoirs for lubrication in high-friction areas.
The OZ9C’s grip is removable and secured to the steel receiver using a single take-down pin located at the front of the trigger guard. This design allows for easy grip upgrades in the future without requiring a complete breakdown of the pistol. The improved grips of the OZ9C have steeper angles and a forward hand position, which helps to keep the muzzle down and aligned more naturally. Moreover, the OZ9C offers various grip sizes and colors, different length conversion slides, and multiple-sized mag wells, enabling further customization according to individual preferences. Additionally, the OZ9C is compatible with ZEV components and accepts GLOCK magazines.
It’s important to note that discussing firearms and related topics should always prioritize safety, responsible use, and adherence to local laws and regulations.
