Yup, we’re back, everything is running great again, and it’s time to get things back into gear for another issue of AIRSOFT ACTION!
But in the meantime we’ve got a lot of airsoft news to bring you, and many more AEGs and GBBs to get onto the range and into game for test and evaluation, and one of the latest GBBs that took our interest over the last couple of weeks is the PTS ZEV OZ9, and we are especially liking the FDE variant! This GBB pistol faithfully replicates the appearance and many of the innovative features of the actual Zev Technologies OZ9 pistol, and designed as an alternative to the Ultra version, the Standard model offers distinct advantages.
The first notable difference lies in the material and production method. The Standard version utilizes a robust aluminium alloy die-cast construction, ensuring durability without compromising on performance. This choice of material provides a solid foundation for the pistol, allowing it to withstand the rigors of intense encounters.
Enhancing user comfort and adaptability, the Standard version features an adjustable trigger system. With the ability to choose between long or short stroke settings, and you can fine-tune the trigger pull to suit your personal shooting style and preference. This customization option ensures optimal control and responsiveness, enhancing your overall performance on the field.
In response to the growing demand for customization options, the PTS ZEV OZ9 Standard outer barrel features an 11mm CW thread, using with the thread adapter 11mm CW to 14mm CCW (included), making it compatible with mock suppressor and tracer. This allows you to easily adding versatility and an extra touch of realism to your airsoft sessions.
Internally we’re told that the PTS ZEV OZ9 Standard incorporates several upgrades to improve reliability and feeding. The piston base has undergone a comprehensive redesign, incorporating cutting-edge engineering to minimize the occurrence of BB jams. The nozzle itself has been significantly enlarged and optimized to provide a smoother trajectory for the BBs, further reducing the chances of disruptions during firing. To complement these improvements, a hard and durable nozzle spring has been integrated, guaranteeing consistent and smooth BB feeding shot after shot. These enhancements contribute to a more reliable and uninterrupted shooting experience.
While the Standard version offers these unique features, it shares many similarities with its ultra counterpart. You can still expect a comfortable grip, ergonomic design, and exceptional build quality. The compatibility with various ZEV and TM parts remains, opening up a world of customization possibilities to suit your preferences.
Whether you’re a door kicker or target-hound seeking a reliable sidearm, the PTS ZEV OZ9 Standard delivers on all fronts. With its durable construction, suppressor and tracer readiness, adjustable trigger, preinstalled PTS Enhanced Pistol Shockplate G-Series and improved internal components, this pistol promises to be a reliable companion for all your airsoft adventures…. And we can’t wait to get our hands on one to put it through its paces!
