Against my better judgement, I purchased a Combat Standard for a full size carry option. They look kewl and have super easy optics mounting. Plus I love the ergonomics.
Fired my oz9 combat standard for the first time yesterday. The very first round would not go into battery when releasing the slide on a loaded mag. It would not feed every few rounds. Round stuck between feed ramp and extractor. And dead trigger/light primer strikes 5 out of 150 rounds. Tried 2 types of ammo and Glock and Magpul mags. Same results across the board.
It shoots flat and the trigger is fantastic. Otherwise, not pumped about it.
I just got off the phone with Zev’s CS. They offered to send me parts to replace that they think are causing the issue or I could send in for warranty work which would be 30-60 days. For what it’s worth, it’s been a great CS experience so far.
I chose new parts to start with. They are sending me a new extractor and extractor rod and spring. They said the extractor I had was 3d printed. It looks terrible and has some really ROUGH edges. It might also be out of spec as a result of the poor build quality. They also think the extractor rod might be binding as well.
Once I receive the parts and test fire, I will update.
I’m just posting this to possibly assist future/current owners with their Zev issues with my experience through troubleshooting and ultimate resolution.
