    ZEV OZ-9X Combat for US DOE

    Who needs a silly old Glock anyway?

    "The U.S. Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration’s Office of Secure Transportation are set to procure ZEV’s OZ-9 X Combat. A notice of intent to procure was posted on SAM.gov announcing that the Office of Secure Transportation are responsible for the safe and secure transportation of nuclear weapons and components and special nuclear materials."

    Did Zev finally get the OZ9 to work right?

    Seems like it did OK during testing:

    "The notice also noted that field testing of the ZEV pistol ran between January 25 and 27, 2022, with the ZEV 0Z-9 handgun not only scoring the highest overall technical score among six (6) 9mm gun manufacturers, but the ZEV 0Z-9 handgun received the highest individual testing criteria scores in regards to weight, damage resistance, low light operations, pointability, ergonomics, malfunctions, recoil management, and overall impression."

    What does this do better than a Glock 17/19 Grn 5 MOS or a HK VP9 PR or a S&W M&P9 OR?

    It is essentially a customized Glock, nothing more. I know a guy that sold his Glocks after he got some time behind his OZ-9X.

    Our tax dollars at work. Shadow Systems guns would have been less expensive

    Superior grip/ergonomics but due to steel receiver its is heavier and has noticeably less muzzle rise/flip.

    That frame doesn't appear to be steel to me.

    It’s steel, just the grip and trigger guard are polymer. They’re also replaceable with different size grips. The actual frame is all steel.

    I fondled one the other day at the LGS, and I’m seriously contemplating picking one up.
