Zev Technologies OZ9 unboxing and impressions!

Unboxing and impressions on the new Zev Technologies OZ9. A complete modular pistol offered by Zev. A true 2nd gen glock.

[@GRat9717]

Just got one $1080 no shipping/tax/cc fee. Compact verison, brand new. Only difference is black parts instead of the bronze barrel and red trigger accent. Now that's a deal.

[@expertadvice4u]

Very cool. First KZbinr to show this.

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

I thought I hadn't seen any unboxing videos yet! Thanks for the comment, hope you enjoyed the vid.

Nice, local range has one and its one of the few times I’ve done a double take on a polymer frame pistol, I was like “ooh that looks interesting!”

[@lilmanop]

Honestly zev in my opinion makes the best glock triggers when you switch the striker spring to their kit that the oz9 internals are with the 2 or 3 pound striker springs it phenomenal! I have the fulcrum adjustable over and under travel triger in my ful zev polymer80 build! Which is phenomenal! Once I get my oz9c I'm doing a comparison to my zev polymer80 build

[@FT4Freedom]

This gun has developed an intense culture of dislike and ire. It's expensive and there are a lot of reports it functions like crap. However, being a glock design it's easy to troubleshoot and fix. A number of the issues are related to tight chamber tolerance which wears in after running it. There are some known issues with some of the guns issued on certain serial numbers. To me it's initial release growing pains. Anyone who knows Glock well can easily get this gun running smooth. I'll be getting one soon and am willing to take the growing pains. Zev is responsive to customer concerns...in their own way. I like the modular Glock. It can only get better. Hard to get a Glock wrong....eventually.

[@MrVenomousEye]

Great review, great gun!

[@Great_America]

Technically, the OZ9 is Gen 3. Better trigger now available on the newest version of the OZ9 Elite. Paired it with a Trijicon SRO. I can’t wait to break in this beast.

[@youvandal411vm]

Does it still work?. Mine died after 200 rounds and went downhill fast. At about 700 rounds now and can't even get through a mag without at least 1 major malfunction.

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

Wow, that sucks man.. I'm sorry you are having those issues. It's the worst when it's a gun you're excited about isn't it? I actually never bought this gun, I just did an in store review on it. It's basically just an expensive p320 haha. And I love my 320s. Are they helping you out with it?

[@youvandal411vm]

I'd also like to day they never contacted me that they received the pistol or it was being worked on for over a week. Initially they told me they would call me 2 days after they received it.

[@cosmolinefiend9853]

Ryan Poeppel any updates. How did it turn out?

[@lilmanop]

@@youvandal411vm was it just a bad ejector or extractor or the trigger bar?

[@WestCoastChicano]

I think Glocks are pretty reliable, but they're not for me. Nor are any polymer 80 type weapons. But this thing I'd probably buy if I had money to burn. Gr8 vid. 🔫

[@InSightFreedom]

Nice all around.

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

Definitely cool.. pricey but I've been to classes with people who have spent way more on their glock and it still wasn't as good as this haha. So there is a market.

[@kt7499]

Maximus Joseppi has been like an update on our end and

[@kompletevisionentertainmen371]

How’s that trigger coming along? I was hoping for the price they would have put an upgraded Zev trigger in that thing.

[@lilmanop]

The is the flat faced pro trigger by zev

[@Captured-On-Camera-Reviewer]

Do you think that barrel is too flashy of a color to be ran on a tactical course?

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

Not at all. It's perfectly ok to personalize and make your gun look cool. Guns don't have to look tactical, make them your own. I have all my favorite guns painted or personalized.

[@jbro8552]

Zev was at a local gun range for a range day. Went to check the guns out, like what I saw and ready to buy and pay cash. Asked rep if I could shoot demo gun? He said yes and I had to buy my own ammo, deal breaker right there. Is it me or did I over react. I could not imagine buying a car and ask for a test ride then be told I have to pay for the gas.

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

ya, sounds cheap of them. typically if a company has a demo gun at an event, they will give you 10 or so rounds at least to try it out. I guess it depends on the exposure they expected at your range and if they went there specifically to have people shoot the gun or if they just went there mostly as an advertisement.

[@redryder3550]

Went to a Sig Demo day...same deal, had to buy ammo from the range to shoot in gun. Guys, there are posers that would have shoot all day if the ammo is free.🤪🤪🤪

[@Kismetix]

They can't tell if you're sincerely interested in purchasing or if you're just there to do a mag dump. If they thought you were halfway serious, they would've given you the ammo if you told them you were serious.

[@jbro8552]

@@Kismetix It all worked out, I bought a Staccato P as he watched me make the purchase.

[@jimmyp5487]

I’ve shot g19 with no spongey BS in the trigger. Trigger can def be better! Hear a lot of bad reviews on this firearm

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

Glocks have a half cocked striker design so they all have spongy shitty triggers by design. It's a double action pull so there's nothing you can do about it. I've heard a lot of bad reviews on this gun too but the trigger is the best glock trigger I've played with. I've heard they're breaking a lot though

[@jaredgines5883]

Better give me $900 bucks back if they do get it down to $900😩😩

[@budkole]

Its more like STI rather than Glock.

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

Well it's based on the glock design and 90% of the parts are interchangeable with a g17. Zev is a glock modification company

[@budkole]

@@maximusjoseppi5904 And your point being? An STI 2011 is 90% - 95% of the parts are interchangeable with a 1911. Same can be said for STI & Wilson...1911 modification companies. General principle and concept with modularity is the relation.

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

@@budkole my point being is it's nothing like STI in any way. A 1911 isn't a brand of gun, nor is it modular haha... It's a style of gun. Zev remade a brand. Very different things

[@budkole]

@@maximusjoseppi5904 Your review was good, but to a point misleading...now that I see your responses, I see that you don't know the meanings of the terms concepts and principles. At this point, its pointless and moot to waste time any further.

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

@@budkole haha says the guy that thinks making a custom 1911 is in anyway way relevant to what Zev did with this firearm 🤣

[@AGC828]

SEV OZ9 VS Taran Tactical Combat Master ($1500 package = a Glock) vs Agency Arms VS Salient Arms....for guys that love to trick out their guns. Even if at the end of the day the gains are minimal even in the hands of an experienced champion shooter like Rob Latham. Wont make the rest of us better. :) Just offers a marginally better "shooting experience".Too many guys geek out on their guns on modding when their skill level is average at best. ...for a "weekend range-only shooter". Basically the EDC John Wick wannabe. :) The same guy that ends up modding their Honda Civic or can mod a new Porsche 911 but has average driving skills and will only be driving in the city and local highways. :) I laugh when I see these guys driving slow up and down the street winking at beautiful women or guys (not sexually) to look like DA MAN!! :) Not realizing he looks like a male bimbo. :) Truly beautiful women no longer get excited over guys in Ferrari's...the only type of woman guys like this get are bimbo's or golddiggers. Beautiful women with a brain are tired of guys like that.

Overpriced and overrated.
