USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Bigger isn’t always better.
Blurring the line between personal defense, concealed carry and a duty pistol, the O.Z-9 compact has the same great features as its standard-sized sibling in a compact, comfortable and easy-to-handle package.
ZEV Technologies’ first complete pistol, built entirely from the ground up, is now available in a compact model. All the same great features as the standard sized O.Z-9, the compact blurs the line between personal defense, concealed carry and a duty pistol. The slimmed-down PRO magwell enhances grip comfort while minimizing printing while carrying concealed.
The O.Z-9 was designed and created for balance. It’s one of the first things you notice when holding this pistol. Balance equates to what every shooter is looking for; a more controllable pistol with less felt recoil, less muzzle flip and faster, more accurate follow-up shots.
At the heart of the O.Z-9 is our pat. pending Steel Receiver. This solid steel frame runs the length of the entire pistol allowing the locking block to be fully integrated. The extended rails in the steel receiver help provide more than double the surface area of contact to the slide. Additional benefits include channels that clear out debris while also acting as lubricating reservoirs for high friction areas.
Having a singular component for the slide to travel along minimizes vibration and recoil energy by dispersing it along the receiver through the custom grip. A single take-down pin conveniently located at the front of the trigger guard locks the removable grip to the steel receiver.
By design, the trigger is housed in the steel receiver allowing for future grip upgrades without completely breaking down the pistol. Our improved grips have steeper angles, and forward hand position keeping the muzzle down, and pointing straighter.
The O.Z-9 is compatible with ZEV components and accepts GLOCK® mags, and will include future grip sizes, color, and texture options.
The O.Z-9 includes the following:
• ZEV Exclusive O.Z-9 Compact Signature Slide
• ZEV O.Z-9 Compact Grip…………………………………………………….. BLACK
• ZEV V2 Match Grade Barrel …………………………………………..BLACK DLC
• ZEV PRO Flat Face Trigger ……………………………………….BLACK/BLACK
• ZEV O.Z-9 PRO Magwell
• ZEV O.Z-9 Custom SKB Case

The O.Z-9 compact features a slimmed-down PRO magwell that enhances grip comfort while minimizing printing when carrying concealed. Components specifically engineered for the O.Z-9 compact include:
- ZEV exclusive O.Z-9 compact signature slide
- ZEV O.Z-9 compact grip – black
- ZEV V2 match grade barrel – black DLC
Like the O.Z-9, the compact is compatible with ZEV components and accepts GLOCK mags, and will include future grip size, color and texture options.

Price, accuracy, velocity, trigger- pull weight, slide retraction effort? Editors should require more than adds for the reader
Come on! This is nothing more than a redesigned Glock 19 for three times the price. This gun was the cover story in August Shooting Illustrated. They called it a “masterpiece of modularity”. Big deal! I have a Glock 19, with an upgraded trigger and TFO sights, that I have a total of about $800 in and, I can consistently ring steel at 50 yards and, easily make head shots at 25 yards. I don’t see a need to spend another $900 for this, so called, “masterpiece”. No thank you.
