It's Zev. They're not cheap. But they make high quality stuff

 

[rwl1955]

$1600.00? WOW! I'm sure Maura will be dying to approve the sale of this fine handgun.

With lots of totally unnecessary machining on the slide.

 

[not new guy]

With lots of totally unnecessary machining on the slide.

They didn't want to make all the stippling stand out and look too ridiculous.

With lots of totally unnecessary machining on the slide.

Such game gun. Very texture. Much wow.

Can it double as a remote for my NES? I miss Duck Hunt.

 

[M1911]

I’m not sure which is more ridiculous, this or Agency Arms.

 

[not new guy]

I'd rather the opposite: A melted version that's smooth and rounded except in a (very) few key spots.

 

[enbloc]

Paint it yellow and it's a taser.

 

[greencobra]

Paint it yellow and it's a taser.

you're not wrong!

 

[tnmt_donkey]

With same price tag, would it outrun the CZ Tactical Sport Orange ?

 

[Supermoto]

At least they got the grip angle correct

 

[M1911]

With same price tag, would it outrun the CZ Tactical Sport Orange ?

No.

 

[slap shot]

wow, looks just like a Mossberg.

 

[igrace7092]

Looks like a gussied up Glock to me. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[TomMontana]

With the P80 frames and so many manufacturers making slides and parts, I'm surprised Zev, Agency, Salient, etc are still charging a premium like it was still 2015.

 

[AM13]

It looks like pic of a P80 build

 

[pastera]

Is it me or does it look like someone screwed up the slide length?

 

[MMArtist]

Im guessing they are going for douchiest looking production handgun of all time?

 

[wilson911]

A bunch of haters in here. I think it looks great and cant wait to get my hands on one.

 

[Glockster30]

A bunch of haters in here. I think it looks great and cant wait to get my hands on one.

Just because a dressed up, overpriced Glock doesn't look appealing to some of us means we're haters? No!

 

[Mountain]

Kinda cool, but the price is ridiculous. Could build a G17 or even a G34 that runs just as well for ~$700 tops.

 

[M1911]

I’ve dumped a ton of money into guns. But I just don’t understand the whole $1,500 - $2,500 custom Glock thing. After spending that much money, you still have a gun that isn’t much better than a $600 Glock.

I do customize my Glocks. The sights suck, so I change those ($100) and that is the biggest cost. I put in a Glock minus connector ($7). I do a 25-cent trigger job (free). I install an Apex safety plunger to make the trigger pull more consistent ($18). I install an extended slide stop ($10). I add some grip tape ($15). So I’ve spent about $150 extra on my Glock.

 

[180 GRAIN FMJ]

The only good thing is the modular chassis (but not $1600 good):

 

[Dennis in MA]

If I were to spend $ on a new pistol, at that price point, I'd look at a Sig P210. OF course, if I'm gonna go P210, I might as well save a bunch and find a decent CZ75. It'll still shoot better than I could.
