ZEV Technologies, based in Centralia, Washington, built its reputation in the competition world making performance upgrades — slides, barrels, triggers, and tuned components — for striker-fired pistols. That deep aftermarket expertise gave the company an intimate understanding of what makes a pistol shoot well, which it channeled into complete firearms.
The OZ9 is ZEV's flagship: a modular pistol built around a steel-and-polymer chassis design that lets shooters tune weight, grip, and balance for reduced recoil and faster shooting. Alongside the pistols, ZEV continues to produce high-end components for popular striker-fired platforms and AR rifles, all reflecting the precision-machining and competition pedigree that defines the brand.
For shooters who want a performance-oriented pistol or premium components from a company rooted in competition, ZEV Technologies delivers race-bred quality.
