Like all my Gen 5 Glock guns, this one has been outstanding. Extremely accurate (my top three scores ever on the 500 aggregate at 25 yards are with this pistol), reliable, durable, easy to shoot and no drama whatsoever.
The 507c did not loosen and the TLR8- AG makes a sweet shooting pistol even more soft.
There may be something to that flat trigger. This pistol came to me with it installed and it sure as heck didn’t make me shoot worse.

Comments: I've only used factory Gen 5 Glock 19 magazines (Magpul Glock mags are hot garbage IME). I swapped the ZEV steel mag catch for a standard Glock Gen 5 plastic mag catch (steel catch and plastic mags is a bad combo long term). I used a Dremel to polish down the knuckle buster hump at the bottom of the trigger guard. The OZ9C is ridiculously easy to shoot fast and accurately due to the forward weight bias from the steel subframe. The magwell is not as low profile as I'd like for carry, but it does lock my hand in solid and is lowish profile. The only issue I've had with this pistol is the rear sight drifted enough to be off by 6" or so at 25Y. I tapped it back into place and LockTited it down and it hasn't moved since, I wouldn't have even noticed had I not decided to turn off the dot and play with the irons for a few magazines.
While I'm not currently using the OZ9C for carry (using a Gen5 19 with a ZEV slide and 508T-X2 for that right now) I'd have zero concerns holstering it up. The only reason it's primarily my range pistol instead of CCW is the extra few ounces and the magwell, both of which are just minor inconveniences not deal breakers.

Notes and observations: I started with the intention of an endurance test, but it wasn't for the 2,000 round challenge. Since I have the information and my criteria match the 2,000 round challenge criteria I decided to post it here. I have had occasional ejection issues with this pistol in the past in which the brass would not eject completely. I made no modifications to the pistol, but that stopped and hasn't repeated the issue in a couple of years. I started having the decocker lever pop up with some hesitation around 4,400 rounds. It never caused a failure, but was a sign that it is starting to get too dirty, so I will disassemble the slide and clean it and relube it this weekend..
Usually after 2,500 rounds since a detailed cleaning of the slide my levers (Carry levers) will be slow rising occasionally. Instead of cleaning I put a drop or two of Rem Oil on the left lever shaft exposed at the very rear of the slide. Hold the levers down, drop in a small bit of oil, move the levers up & down thrice and víolá... good for another 2-3k.
Once you get the oil on rotate the slide to sight side up so that gravity does not bring the oil forward.
Awesome test. Thanks for the contribution. During my flawless 2000-round test of my .40 full-size (not recorded in this thread because it was years ago and I didn’t keep quality track) I got the sticky levers too. Not a practical concern for me but a bit of a pain to clean.
