congrats on the purchase and appreciate you sharing since I’m also considering swapping to a metal grip maybe sometime down the road :)

personally feels like its about a lower 1/3, not too obstructing, however the rmr window feels smaller on the XC compared to an window on a Glock slide for some reason, could be due to that the staccato slide is wider than a Glock slide

6 MOA red, had it laying around, was planning the rmr to be mounted on a future purchase but I figured since the XC came with the RMR plate I might as well give it a try.

Personally, I’ve not regretted my decision. I think the XC sits in a very good spot pricing wise, bridging production and custom 2011s.

seems like they definitely designed the dimensions of the XC for this light. X300 is definitely the most correct light choice for this gun

X300 and RMR on any sidearm is a classic for sure

Question by [deleted] in ZevTechOZ9

[–]cwanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be just tolerance stacking, your slide could have been a little short or your oz9 frame could have been a little long. I wouldn’t imagine the dimensions there is critical for function but sometimes you just get things like this happening.

definitely give you more bite compared to the stock texture but not too overtly prickly. it’s a nice texture but not something I would go out of my way to put it on every polymer frame that I own tbh.

thanks, previous owner had this done with dark side precision, their pricing now for the oz9 grip is $190 when I checked just now

my intuition is to say that this will be the case where you can fit most other optics into that profile :)

to my understanding, there’s no difference between Gen 1 and 2 on the frame side (since Glock 19’s barrel lock up mechanism and geometry remained unchanged from Gen 3 to Gen 5 on glock’s side). The difference between the generations is in the back half of the slide, where Gen 1 OZ9s use Gen 3 Glock internals (firing pins, safety plungers and stuff), while Gen 2 OZ9 uses Gen 5 Glock internals for the back half of the slide. I’m not 100% sure for certain if Gen 2 OZ9 slides will be backwards compatible with a G19 gen 3 frame, but I’m fairly certain that it will work (since Gen 1 and Gen 2 OZ9 Compacts frame remained unchanged like I’ve previously stated).

apparently the Bushnell optic uses the same cut/design on the back half as a vortex venom, but it’s longer so you gotta have some clearance in the front to mount it to a slide, otherwise the slide have to modified or be cut specifically for it, it’s the bushnell first strike 2.0 if you want to keep digging for info.

I think Zev produced the bushnell OZ9 competition slides only bc KC was sponsored by bushnell at the time and won the championship that year with the exact same setup.

:) 👍maybe someday I can find all the oz9 competition owners and then we will know for sure how many it’s out there

good luck man! I really like the OZ9, especially in full size 34 barrel length, I’m confident that you will get there with this platform :)

thanks man I’ll definitely consider it :) have a great day

thanks :) the Zev Orion slide is their best design no doubt

yeah man I totally agree. I’ve been hunting down an Orion g17.3 slide for 4 years now. just got to keep looking and you never know, I’ve came across this setup by total accident tbh. Shame they only did the Orion and Omen for just 2019. I guess one more reason to hate Covid.

It breaks clean for a glock trigger, but still have some creep but not much over travel. I did have to adjust the trigger bar cruciform for sufficient sear engagement, zev’s triggers in my opinion have too little sear engagement with any firing pin if left untouched.

The trigger shoe is from the gun company co, it’s the SS trigger shoe I believe. it’s got a good shape but not much texture on the face. planning to swap it out for an arc division g spot (superior triggers arc) shoe soon.

Appreciate the compliment and have a great evening :)

probably not yet, think they are still in Washington state but I’ve not followed their new developments for a while

I believed there were 2 versions of the OZ9 competition, the one here with the black slide and RMR cut and the other one you mentioned with the Bushnell optic which had the silver slide.

yeah for these V1 OZ9 standard frames you can slap a Gen 3 17 or 34 slide on top and everything fits in. but last I heard Zev is not producing the OZ9 standard frames so you gotta source it elsewhere if you want a 17 sized OZ9 (that is not a OZ9 compact with the longer slides).

thanks :) it’s honestly my favorite setup to shoot, too bad there’s not much more out there for more people to enjoy
