In any event, all firearms will come from ZEV, not Magpul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carrying a reliable knife<\/a>, for many folks, remains an essential aspect of EDC. Meanwhile, few brands embody carrying for defense quite like the Gunsite raven. Now the Cold Steel Gunsite Knife blends both those ideals in a new 4-inch Counter Point 1 model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n The folding knife features the Gunsite Raven logo across the blade. The Counter Point 1 comes with Cold Steel's Tri-Ad locking mechanism. The stiletto-inspired spear point blade utilizes a stylish false edge spine backed with jimping to ensure optimal blade control. An integrated thumb stud allows for smooth, quick blade deployment. A 3.5-inch thick Japanese AUS10A stainless steel alloy delivers corrosion resistance and edge retention, according to Cold Steel. Easy to sharpen, the knife also includes an aggressive half-serration for greater utility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Reinforced, heat-treated aluminum liners come flanked by Cold Steel's Griv-Ex handles in OD Green. The highly tactile stippling on the handles offers a secure grip in with or sweaty conditions. An ergonomic contour assists in the positive grip. Finally, a prominent finger groove and integrated tang and butt profile deliver a solid, comfortable hold for any cutting job, according to Cold Steel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Gunsite Counter Point 1 measures 9 inches overall opened.

That's right, we're getting our first true look at Magpul's concept, Glock-based folding pistol first seen at SHOT Show 2008. So this one's been a long time coming, and we couldn't be more hyped to see the progression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n As the name indicates, to make the dream a reality, Mapgul partnered with ZEV Technologies.

Independent of the pistol's grip, the receiver block enables the user to change grip frames. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the 2019 launch, Magpul immediately started working with ZEV to bring the folding pistol concept to life. The enterprise sought to combine the Magpul chassis with ZEV OZ9 operating system. It's taken design refinements and a bunch of legal approvals, but here we are. The result: the ZEV Technologies Folding Defensive Pistol-9 (FDP-9) and also the Folding Defensive Carbine-9 (FDC-9). <\/p>\n\n\n\n At first glance, the FDP-9 is one cool looking platform. The cased, folding design stores safely off-body. It immediately deploys into action, according to Magpul. Meanwhile, the FDC-9 will be a carbine derivative of the pistol. It incorporates a buttstock into the folding storage cover, enhancing accuracy and stability, according to Magpul. Both firearms run off 17-round, Glock double-stack 9mm magazines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The plan includes ZEV offering the 9mm FDP-9 as a complete, large-format pistol. The purchaser can also choose to file ATF Form 1 paperwork. After approval, a conversion kit would legally allow assembling the firearm into the FDC-9. It would then be classified as a short-barreled rifle (SBR), subject to all NFA laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n ZEV could offer the FDC-9 straight from the factory in the future, as an ATF Form 4 purchase and SBR designation.

The two companies took Magpul's idea and combined it with ZEV's modular OZ9. The OZ9 first released in 2019 \u2014 we should know, as we were the first ones to see it<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ZEV's OZ9 is a Glock-based platform utilizing a unique receiver block. Independent of the pistol's grip, the receiver block enables the user to change grip frames. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the 2019 launch, Magpul immediately started working with ZEV to bring the folding pistol concept to life. The enterprise sought to combine the Magpul chassis with ZEV OZ9 operating system. It's taken design refinements and a bunch of legal approvals, but here we are. The result: the ZEV Technologies Folding Defensive Pistol-9 (FDP-9) and also the Folding Defensive Carbine-9 (FDC-9). <\/p>\n\n\n\n At first glance, the FDP-9 is one cool looking platform. The cased, folding design stores safely off-body. It immediately deploys into action, according to Magpul. Meanwhile, the FDC-9 will be a carbine derivative of the pistol. It incorporates a buttstock into the folding storage cover, enhancing accuracy and stability, according to Magpul. Both firearms run off 17-round, Glock double-stack 9mm magazines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The plan includes ZEV offering the 9mm FDP-9 as a complete, large-format pistol. The purchaser can also choose to file ATF Form 1 paperwork. After approval, a conversion kit would legally allow assembling the firearm into the FDC-9. It would then be classified as a short-barreled rifle (SBR), subject to all NFA laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n ZEV could offer the FDC-9 straight from the factory in the future, as an ATF Form 4 purchase and SBR designation. In any event, all firearms will come from ZEV, not Magpul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMaking a good knife is an evolution,\u201d Freeman told me. \u201cYou work in a field for five or 10 or 15 years, refining as you go, sharpening your skills. My next knife might look a little different, it might consider something new, but it will always tie back to my experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n That was hard-earned experience, in Freeman\u2019s case, as a firefighter, soldier, machinist, CAD designer, knife maker and businessman. All the best bladesmiths are like that. The work is a reflection of the man. They forge themselves into the steel.

Meanwhile, few brands embody carrying for defense quite like the Gunsite raven.

Well, after about 13 years, it looks like Magpul will prove that old adage, emphatically, with the announcement of the ZEV Technologies FDP-9 \u2014 its long-awaited folding pistol. That's right, we're getting our first true look at Magpul's concept, Glock-based folding pistol first seen at SHOT Show 2008. So this one's been a long time coming, and we couldn't be more hyped to see the progression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n As the name indicates, to make the dream a reality, Mapgul partnered with ZEV Technologies. The two companies took Magpul's idea and combined it with ZEV's modular OZ9. The OZ9 first released in 2019 \u2014 we should know, as we were the first ones to see it<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ZEV's OZ9 is a Glock-based platform utilizing a unique receiver block.
