January 20, 2025 — West Valley City, UT — Zev Technologies is excited to announce several upcoming product releases at SHOT Show 2025. This includes the Folding Defensive Platform (FDP), the OZ9sc, Acro Optic Duty Slides, Compact Combat Hypercomp Slide Kits, and more sizes of Glock slides and barrels. Each of these products will add something unique to the firearms industry and are anticipated to hit the shelves in 2025/early 2026. Attendees can stop by booth #20463 to view these new products and several other upcoming releases.
The FDP includes two of the most anticipated products that Zev will be releasing this year. It is a project they have been working on with Magpul and are excited to make available to the public toward the end of first quarter. The FDP will originally be launched as a short-barreled rifle with a pistol variant to follow. The FDP provides unmatched versatility with its folding design, making it easy to store and deploy in critical situations.
“The FDP is unlike anything else on the market,” said Zev Tech Marketing Manager, Ben McClelland. “Its groundbreaking folding design makes it extremely compact and portable without sacrificing firepower. It’s also lightweight, durable, and includes an integrated accessory mount, adjustable sights and ambidextrous controls.”
The OZ9sc is Zev’s rendition of a subcompact pistol, capitalizing on the popularity of the Glock 43 and Glock 48. It’s a smaller version of the OZ9, but includes all of the same impressive features.
The Acro Optic Duty Slides will be offered for the following fitments: G-19, Gen 1-3 & Gen 5, and G-17, Gen 1-3 & Gen 5. The Compact Combat Hypercomp Slide Kits will give shooters who don’t own a Zev Tech Hypercomp pistol the opportunity to run the top end on their Gen 3 Glock 19. The kit will include the slide, barrel, recoil assembly, front and rear sights and upper parts kit.
“We’ll also be adding G43 and G48 sized slides and barrels to our line of Glock compatible components,” said McClelland. “This is a direct result of customer and dealer requests and we are excited to offer it!”
Additionally, Zev Technologies plans to revamp their rifle lineup by adding more caliber and barrel-length options. They plan to shift all rifle models to the legacy MML hand guard/upper mounting system. The current wedge-lock system will still be supported with handguards and compatible forged upper receivers.
