I have a complete OZ9 if you want to play with.

What's the question?  

You're a bit far.

 

Considering buying and building.  

How do you like it?  Any significant recoil reduction over a poly-Glock?  Smooth?  Any issues with it so far?

I am not a huge Glock fan, but yes, I really like it, and enough to shoot USPSA Production with it over my CZ.

Much flatter shooting than typical 17, etc.

Keep in mind, it does not work well, currently, with OEM 10 round Glock mags, so use the 10 round magpul mags.  No issues with standard capacity mags.

Have about 1,000 rounds through the gun, a lot of which with a suppressor.  Have not cleaned yet, mostly reliable... a few quirks but that was largely due to suppressor use and getting the gun really really dirty.

Basically, the frame will work with any Gen 3 glock slide.

I have videos of shooting it but not a complete review yet...

Why would it shoot flatter?   Given the same barrel length and ammo, wouldn't the velocities be essentially the same?

I believe he's talking about the gun staying flatter on the shot.  Not that the ammo is flying flatter.  

Yes... I meant the gun staying flatter. =)

Less muzzle rise as you have a full length steel frame and solid guiderod in the slide.

My MBK is in OGAM jail at my FFL.  I've seen it and it is sweet.  

Please chime in:  I'm looking for a slide for the pistol.  I'm open to suggestions.  I've looked at the ZEV stuff and it's a bit fancy for me although that may be the direction I decide to go, ultimately.  But, I'm looking for suggestions.  Who's got some?

What are you looking to do with the slide?  Good thing is, the Gen 3 slides are fairly common.

I really do like the slide that came on OZ9... not too gaudy and functional.   Again, completely open if you want to come try mine out.  And have a video of it coming out soon.  Shot it in USPSA match... no issues with the gun.  Mags... yes. lol.

I will be shooting it at Tenafly, so local club level matches.  I'm wanting to put it into the Carry Optics box.  No magwell, no comp.  I'll run a Vortex Venom on top or possibly an SRO although I don't know if I can justify the price.

Looking for a 17, 34 or 19 sized slide?

If 19... then I suppose something is coming from the folks that made the modular build kit. ;)

The frame is a standard, ie: 17, size.  So I'm looking to put a 17 size slide on it.

I would say “yes” to that idea. 

Yeah but you're an enabler and I'm weak  :).  I ordered one.from Omaha outdoors for 364.80.  Not bad at all.

Well, yeah. 
 

If you wanted balanced advice you wouldn’t ask on here. But you already know that.

    • Sorry, both are SPF.  Being picked up this week. Win M22  22 LR SPF to Ringwoodfrank.
    • Yup I see. Looks like right now you can only purchase the 2023-2024 permit still. I assume won't be able to purchase 24-25 season permit until July.
    • Just a heads-up for anyone who might also be in this situation. I joined USLS mid-April of 2022. Some time after renewing for 2023, I changed email providers, and dutifully reflected my new address on my account page. So, I have been anticipating renewal alerts at my new address, but those never arrived. I logged in to my account the other day, and was surprised to see that my subscription expired that same day. I went to my account main information page, confimed that my email address was correct, then went to the billing page, which showed my previous two payments, but which did not give me any apparent way to pay up for the new year. I requested support using the Customer Service form on the web site, but received no reply. Today I called their support number. Apparently changing the email address from my view of my account page did nothing to change the address that they use internally for billing purposes, including expiration notifications. Maybe they also use that address for replies to the support form, even if a different email address is entered there. Also, my account was set up to auto-renew and charge my credit card without my intervention, but that setting did not show on my account page in any obvious way. So, if you have USLS and have changed your email address since you last renewed, you might want to give them a call to ensure that they send renewal information to your correct address. The prospect of having legal coverage lapse while carrying in NJ was, for me, a less that confidence inspiring experience. I will note that the telephone-based customer service was excellent.
    • F*n imbeciles. They know damned well (or should) that, even if passed by the Colorado Senate and signed into law, virtually that entire load of crap is certain to fail Bruen/Heller scrutiny, and probably sooner, rather than later (SCOTUS). What a monumental waste of time (of course, how much can a dip$h*t's time be worth, anyway?) and energy. I passed through Colorado a few times in the 70s, and visited some clients there in the 80's & 90's, and, even by the end of that period, I had the impression that it was politically fairly conservative (with a few exceptions such as Aspen). WTF happened?
