ZEV Technologies is proud to introduce the O.Z-9

Tuesday, January 1st, 2019

OZ9-STD-B-B_2

ZEV spent 12 years perfecting upgrade parts and full gun modifications for customers in the most demanding environments in the world. The guns they have built have won over 20 national and world championships and are in the hands of special operations forces around the globe. As they mastered their craft, they dreamed about building their own pistol.

Alec Wolf, CTO / Founder of ZEV Technologies, said, “Today I am so excited to show the world the O.Z-9. After dreaming about this for 12 years it’s great to finally see this project come to fruition”

The O.Z-9 has the accuracy, control and balance of a 1911, the reliability of a striker fired pistol, and is fully modular, allowing for grip changes and compatibility with Glock and ZEV parts.

Matt Ridenour, CEO of ZEV Technologies, shared, “ZEV is committed to leadership in innovation and performance, so we invest heavily in design and engineering.   With OZ9 we’re confident that we are resetting the bar for high performance pistols.”

OZ9-STD-B-B_7

The O.Z-9 feels and performs better because of the improved grip angle and increased rigidity of the internal steel receiver.

  • Less felt recoil
  • Better balance
  • Faster target acquisition
  • More control
  • OZ9-STD-B-B_5

    The O.Z-9 is modular. The internal steel receiver allows for an interchangeable grip, and all other parts are fully compatible with Glock and ZEV components.

  • Change out grips for different shooting conditions, sizes, colors, textures, or with blank grips to do your own grip work
  • Use your Glock magazines
  • The O.Z-9 is tested. The O.Z-9 has gone through 3 years of testing and revision with over 500,000 rounds fired. It has met or exceeded various aspects of the U.S. Army TOP (Test Operations Procedure) for small arms, SAAMI, and California Department of Justice protocols for safety, reliability, and environmental testing, and is backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

    New Atom LT Gen 2 Lineup for 2019 from Arc’teryx LEAF

    Tuesday, January 1st, 2019

    Arc’teryx LEAF has redesigned the Atom LT for 2019, creating the Gen 2 lineup.

    img_1064.jpg

    The first thing you are going to notice is the zippered chest pocket, but that’s not all that’s new. Atom remains my mid-layer of choice because they’ve focused materials used on increasing air permeability.

    While they’ve retained the TORAY Mechanical Stretch Mini-Rip LT (w/DWR) durable face fabric from the first version, the hoody’s insulation and liner have been updated to a more breathable system to improve body temperature regulation when worn under PPE or as part of layering system.

    A new liner material is a key component in this revised configuration of materials. The LI PENG high air perm nylon ripstop liner permits airflow, which aids in the transport of moisture and heat away from the body. Combined with continuous filament CLIMASHIELD Combat Fibrefill Insulation (w/DWR), breathability is greatly enhanced. Overall, the new materials package increases breathability, improving performance over a wide range of conditions.

    At the sides, you’ll find a very comfortable PONTETORTO 7.5oz Hardface Fleece.

    The Atom LT (Gen 2) line consists of four garments including the new Atom LT Vest (Gen 2). It accompanies the Atom LT Hoody (Gen2), Atom LT Jacket (Gen2) and Atom LT Pant (Gen 2).

    New features:
    • Trimmer fit hood with updated design
    • Moved from an internal chest pocket to an external left chest pocket for securing carriage of mission essential items.
    • Updated the media port management system. Creating routing of communications cables on either side of the jacket now.

    Other Features:
    • Insulated Hood – allowing the option to use a hood when/if reqd.
    • Full Zip Closure (w/No Slip Zip™) – prevents zipper from self-opening at collar
    • Hand Zip Pockets (w/media ports in both) – allowing for convenience and the secure carriage of mission essential items
    • Drawcord Hem Closure – vertically routed drawcord with enclosure mitigates snags and hang-ups

    The ATOM LT ( Gen 2) line is offered in Black, Crocodile, Wolf Grey, and Ranger Green, sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL.

    Available soon from leaf.arcteryx.com as well as your favorite LEAF dealer.

    Happy New Year!
