D_B_X Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Got a new tungsten infused OZ9 grip module and put it on. It weights a good 41+ oz. now. I think I may like it ... Edited January 28, 2022 by D_B_X forgot photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwards30 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I haven’t heard of this. Where do you purchase it at? I didn’t see it on Zev’s website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tt350z Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I checked the website that evening. The link was already gone on Zev’s website. Only showed up in the search engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_B_X Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) It should come back I guess. can't be a one time thing right? Edited January 28, 2022 by D_B_X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tt350z Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Can you weigh the stock and tungsten grip module separately? Just curious to see what the weight difference is. Mine is at 42 ozs with a light and empty mag with the regular grip module. Might hit 50 ozs with the tungsten one. Doesn’t sound like a one time thing. Maybe it was a limited release to see if they have any issues or demand before pumping out more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog009 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 They have to be releasing more of these at some point in the future, but Zev has always had an on hand stock issue. Half the products they make are either in a constant state of sold out or 90-180 days backordered. I think they are still a relatively small shop, doing a lot of work in house, but they seem to stretch themselves a little thin sometimes. I'm sure they will release more at some point in the future.

Just to clarify that I can never get this thing to work reliably with ZEV parts in the upper: broken Zev strikers (yes it is plural), constant FTE. When the upper has zero Zev parts in it, it runs with no problem whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avastcosmicarena Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Super jealous. I'd love to have the tungsten grip. That extra weight should make the gun very competitive with the Sig P320 Legion. It already has triggers out on the market that are just as good (Timney, Johnny Glocks, Tactical Trigger, etc.), and has a lower bore axis/less muzzle flip. It's just too light compared to the Legion. Hopefully, they make more of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avastcosmicarena Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Talked to someone at Zev, and they said they expect the tungsten grip to be back in stock in late summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tt350z Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) I chose to display it as 54 ounces instead of displaying 3 lbs 6 ounces. Rule book says 59 ounces not 3 lbs 11 ounces, so it’s just easier to display it in the same format as the rule book.

The scale has no ability to measure fluid ounces. It measures ounces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_B_X Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 An update -- in case some are interested. My tungsten grip module broke. See photos. I discovered this during a dry fire practice at home. It must have happened during a live fire practice the weekend before. (Luckily it didn't break then, as the idea of the upper flying back at me isn't entertaining.) I have shot about 3,000 rounds. All 115 gr., a mixture of 9mm minor reloads and factory 9mm. It saw one local USPSA match. And all other live fires were in an indoor range. It has been in and out of holster many times during dry fire practice. It was never dropped. The grip module is now back at Zev. They said they will replace it once the new ones come out in the fall. I do not know if it is a manufacturing issue or design issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
