ZEV Technologies OZ9C Compact 9mm 4.5" Black Threaded Optics Ready 19+1 OZ9C-CPT-B-B-TH

ZEV Technologies OZ9C Compact

The ZEV Technologies OZ9C Compact is a striker fired 9mm pistol that takes the O.Z-9 platform into a smaller package for personal defense, concealed carry, and duty use. This black configuration uses a 4.5 inch match grade barrel threaded 1/2×28, a compact slide with an RMR optics cut, and 19+1 capacity. A slimmed-down PRO magwell is included on the compact grip to add comfort without adding extra print under a cover garment.

At the core of the O.Z-9C is a patent pending steel receiver that runs the length of the pistol and fully integrates the locking block. Extended rails more than double the slide contact surface, while internal channels help clear debris and hold lubrication in high friction areas. The PRO Flat Face trigger is housed in the steel receiver so the black polymer grip can be changed without a full teardown, and the steeper grip angle with a forward hand position helps keep the muzzle down. Compact O.Z-9 slide, barrel, and grip parts are not interchangeable with the standard O.Z-9.

This compact model is suited to concealed carry, home defense, and range use where a balanced 9mm with optic and muzzle device options is desired. The RMR pattern slide cut and 1/2×28 threading support common accessories, and the pistol accepts Glock magazines plus other ZEV components. At 7.6125 inches long and 26.25 ounces, the OZ9C Compact keeps the control of the full O.Z-9 design in a shorter, easier to carry size.
