In my opinion for what the OZ cost there are much better choices.Īt this point I'm pretty disappointed in the OZ. The gun has a lot going for it but reliability is most important and that's a big fail for me. To be honest my gut tells me the failures to extract were not caused by a dirty gun or the ammo for that matter.Īt this point I'm pretty disappointed in the OZ. I gave it a thorough cleaning last night and I'll see if that was the cause on the range tomorrow. The gun wasn't that dirty but for now I'll chalk it up to a dirty chamber. Yesterday while doing bill drills I had a few failures to extract. Another week of down time until Zev sent out a new striker assembly. I saw someone else post about having 2 Zev barrels shear the lug off on Zev's facebook page after mine did.Ībout 100 rounds into the new barrel the tip of my striker broke off, it was left sticking out of the breech face detached from the striker. I immediately sent Zev pictures and I had a new barrel in just over a week.
My OZ is fed factory American Eagle 124 and 147 ball ammo. I've spent a considerable amount of time on the range with multiple agencies and shooting matches and I've never seen a failure like that unless an over pressured load was introduced to the gun. They had it for 3 weeks before shipping it back.Īt about 1500 rounds the lug on the underside of my barrel sheared clear off. Zev sent out a return label and I returned it for repair, never fired a round from it. Had I been live firing the gun would have surely doubled. The striker would follow as if the trigger was being depressed not reset, with enough force to launch a pencil from the barrel. While dry firing and re-setting the trigger slowly (after cycling the slide) my striker would follow. Upon getting home from the dealer with it I found the first issue. This is not a response to bash Zev it's personal experience. With that said I've had my share of issues with it. I give Zev a big thumbs up for the innovation and overall design. I bought an OZ9 soon after they were released, one of the first 200.
