Shorty Grip
ZEV Technologies has released the Shorty Grip for its standard-sized O.Z-9 modular pistol platform. According to ZEV Marketing VP Dave Roberts, a compact grip on a standard pistol gives “the advantage of a longer slide and longer sight radius” but minimizes printing to allow concealed carry. With the Shorty Grip, O.Z-9 standard pistol can change the size and color of grips as well as slide and barrel lengths. Available in Black, FDE and Gray, the Shorty Grip comes with a take-down pin and with the ZEV Gen4 Magazine Release already installed. It’s compatible with both G19- and G17-size magazines.
