Just got back from Thunder Ranch and had the opportunity to shoot a ZEV OZ9. I normally use and carry a Glock 19. While it takes some features from the Glock it is a completely new pistol. What impressed me is it has less muzzle flip and points better due to the 1911 style grip. Second follow-up shots are faster and smoother. I rarely tout a pistol but this one is an exception. Love my 19 but the ZEV is now my new carry gun.IMAO
