U.S. Nuclear Convoy Guards’ New Pistol Looks Right Out Of John Wick

Federal agents who protect trucks carrying America’s most powerful weapons are set to be armed with spendy ‘Gucci Glock’ inspired pistols.

The National Nuclear Security Administration, or NNSA, which oversees America's nuclear weapons stockpile, recently announced that it plans to arm security personnel who guard convoys carrying hydrogen bombs and other sensitive cargoes with new and very high-end 9mm pistols. If all goes to plan, individuals working for NNSA's Office of Secure Transportation, or OST, are set to get ZEV Technologies' OZ9 Combat pistols, a design that evolved from the iconic Glock series and that looks like it was ripped straight out of a John Wick movie...

Is this in the same league as Staccato marketing 2011s for duty use?

Except I hear that Stacattos work more often than not.

Sorry. I think I have fixed it.

I'm really hoping your thread title is tongue-in-cheek and making a joke.

Because otherwise, calling DOE couriers 'Armed Government Employees' is a pretty excellent way of saying you don't know a damn thing about them, their organization, or their mission scope.

Come on man, guarding the most powerful weapons ever devised by humanity and the materials used to produce them isn’t that important of a job.

Now if they had given them something more powerful than wimpy 9mm…

Even John Wick upgraded to 9 major….

Anything more than Hi-Points is a waste of tax-payer money to some.

With that said, I'm surprised. The current Staccato pistols, by all accounts, seem to be a serviceable sidearms for its intended users. That would be an entirely reasonable and foreseeable choice for OST. I don't have a problem with a "premium" pistol for certain groups, in particular OST, who are a bunch of meat eating gun slingers that have little else to go on for morale other than being meat eating gun slingers.

The ZEV is certainly a...uh..."interesting" choice, though.
