Product Description: The PTS ZEV Technologies OZ9 Elite GBB pistol is the gas blowback airsoft pistol that faithfully replicates the appearance and many of the innovative features of the actual Zev Technologies OZ9 pistol.
The ULTRA Version of the PTS ZEV OZ9 Elite Pistol is PTS’s inaugural release of and the highest quality replication of the OZ9 Pistol. With only a very limited quantity released for the worldwide market, the PTS OZ9 Elite (Ultra Version) features a full CNC’ed 6000 series aluminum slide as well a precision CNC’ed 6000 series aluminum modular chassis. Within the chassis, the hammer housing and many hammer components are CNC’ed also which provide for a more precise trigger feel. The CNC’ed steel alloy dimpled outer barrel has an extremely durable carburizing finishing.
Like the real OZ9, the PTS OZ9 features a modular chassis system that houses the ZEV Flat Face Trigger, sear and receiver rails. The metal receiver extends along the entire length of the gun to allow for a more rigid gun, smoother slide travel along the frame, and allows the mounting of various lights and lasers. The modular chassis is held in the polymer grip by a single takedown pin allowing the chassis to be easily removed for servicing or swapping. The polymer grip includes an integrated magwell and features a steeper grip angle allows for more natural pointability of the gun. The trigger guard undercut allows for a more comfortable and higher gun grip. The PTS OZ9 slide features ZEV Combat Sights which consists of a black steel serrated U notch rear sight and a high visibility fiber optic front sight. The slide also includes a removable optic plate for mounting an optional RMR optic (not included). Lightening cuts and front and rear slide serrations improve the slide’s grippability and gives it a distinctive appearance. The magazine release button can be switchable for left or right-handed shooters. Finally, the included magazine includes the PTS G shockplate basepad. The magazine is compatible with Tokyo Marui G17 (Gen3/4) magazines.

Tim Ellwood of No Airsoft for Old Men has alerted us to a concerning development for Airsoft in the US. The full regulation document – Marking of Toy, Look-Alike, and Imitation Firearms – can be found here.
I oppose the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s proposed Direct Final Rule in Docket No. CPSC-2023-0021.
Airsoft is a very important, safe sporting activity, enjoyed by myself and thousands of responsible users and hobbyists. As written, the effect of the Commission’s proposed rule would have significant and unnecessary impact on myself and all in the air-soft industry, both from an economic standpoint and an accessibility one. Without comment from the industry, the proposed Direct Final Rule would be inappropriate and unacceptable without changes.
Accordingly, I request the Commission withdraw the proposed direct final rule. I appreciate and understand the Commission’s approach and request the Commission consider excepting air-soft guns from any requirement for GCCs.
