OZ9 combat, v1, and I switched the extractor to Glock oem and it’s been 100% reliable now. 3400 rds since buying in November and it’s hands down my favorite edc.

This is really well done. I'm going to try few of these drills.

Ive own the otto in ear buds for two years. I charge the case about once a year and the buds charge from the case. They only have two sensitivity levels which is ok not great. I wear them for about 4 hours, 2-3 times a month and for about 2 hours, 4 times a month. I actually purchased the comply tips from comply (cheaper) and they work so much better. Love them and have had zero issues. If you’re using them often the price is worth it. If you’re not using them as often id probably just get a set of 3m electronic eat pro. The axil my wife has are terrible. They work but the battery life is so short and they don’t always charge correctly. The Howard lights are terrible, too large don’t fit well, and didn’t last long. Just my two cents.

I am not in the same world as you three in shooting ability, but I thoroughly enjoyed your takes on the match and your respective performances. It was very informative and even at low level local matches I will try to use the wisdom you shared. Keep up the great work!

Sadly you can buy from a repeatable dealer and still get counterfeit. I had that happen with some HL, got permanent damage for my troubles. Now it would be a cold day before I'd use HL. I'm addition I augment with gel ear cups and additional neoprene in the body (it really helps). Take a look at the foam if you dough me. It rather look THROUGH the foam.

Shit was crazy!!!!! It is harder with a stock trigger, I failed miserably

thank God CZcams has a feature to slow down the speed

When y’all gonna start teaching advance courses? Ever since Chris left years ago I feel like the company and training have gone to shit. It went from teaching to being the Bill Barton show

The Howard Leights were the cause of my tinnitus. Best hearing protectors are suppressors. No hearing protection can help you when shooting 338 lapua on an indoor range . I use double protection( in ear and over the ear) when shooting rifle but that just isn’t enough. Governments should be held accountable for our hearing loss, especially in those countries where suppressors are forbidden

You’re the man, Billy! Love this stuff. Looking forward to working again in the future.

I notice you only have one screw in the DCC clip on the mag side. When i try to run it like that it doesnt stay put. Have you had any problems with it in that setup?

The two modes I want, one for competition to cut the distraction and a second one, for CQB I want to hear a mouse move in the next room as I hunt.

Excellent review. I purchased a new APX for my Sig X-Marco due to this review. And I used your link too.

What version of Practiscore were you referencing in the video?

best thing on the electronic ear muffs is .......... if someone breaks into your House, you put them on, turn them on and you can hear where that MF'er is, plus you protect your hearing yourself when you have to engage

Appreciate you guys. Going faster and still getting your hits is not easy to do. Love the grind. 💪🏽

Very informative video! I’m surprised by the fact, that you have only 7k followers! Really nice hints to improve speed!

THIS VIDEO IS GREAT!!!!!!!!

Use your HSA and buy some good stuff if you shoot a lot. Hearing aids are $5000+ A suppressor is way cheaper In PRS matches most are running a muzzle brake and it’s punishing at times.

Work bought me a set of Otto’s a couple years ago. Love them. I got the pro foam tips from Amazon for them and it makes a massive difference. My all time favorite ear pro. Recently I picked up a set of Soundgear Phantoms. These are covered under Fed Bc/bs. They’re nice, custom molded, and more comfortable than my Otto’s. However, I think the Otto’s with the pro ear tips, block more loud noise. I’ll be saving my Phantoms for when my Otto’s die. One thing is for sure, I’ll never go back to over the ear cups. Unless I’m shooting indoors and that’s a rarity. If you want the best bang for the buck and it’s within your budget, go with the Otto’s. The Phantoms retail for like $1500 and well beyond what I’m willing to spend on ear pro, especially when the Otto’s are a 3rd of that price.

Excellent information. You Rock.

Fn nuts. BA SHOOTING SIR !

A long time ago I read the book The Mental Game of Golf to improve my scores on the course. It worked! All about timing! This video is reminescent of those same instructions. VERY helpful, and spot on.

Been running sordins for a long time, Gels are the bomb. Been wearing them on a range for the whole day without issues. (Other than the hat button issue lol, but you cant it a bit and no problems) Been looking at the in ears options out there. Bought the Axil Xcore Pro. We’ll see how they are

Great video man! I'm curious why you didn't touch on the 3M Peltor Tep-200 and other options from 3M marketed towards firearm use. I'm running the eep-100 with skull screw but it spooks me that they are labeled for construction not shooting.

34 length next to impossible to get. . . .

I too have the Otto NoizeBarriers and had battery issues after 3-4 years. I only used them during hunting season, so I think its more of a battery age versus use issue. Unfortunately the batteries are not replaceable, but I loved those things! If they fixed the battery issue, I'd buy another set in a heartbeat.

You hear through the occipital bone as well as the ear canal. That's why headphone style hearing protection is so important. I have some industrial full cup units that are absolutely amazing, but WAY too bulky for rifle shooting. I wear them during pistol shooting quite often, however.

These have an 18 month warranty which seems pretty low for the price of these. People have complained about the battery losing its strength a couple years in and the battery is not replaceable. With the chance of these going out or the battery dying after 18 months I just cant justify buying them.

Problem, if I’m walking from target to target or towards the target with my finger prepping the trigger, the RO calls me ‘get your finger off of the trigger’

Do you prefer Magpul, Glock, or something else for your OZ9 mags? And based off the video I’m assuming you keep the Zev mag catch?

This is messing with my mind Hand movement is so slow yet draw time is so fast Great content

only lube the contact points

ive always wanted a zev, and even more so with this video. As you mentioned I do a lot to my Glocks to get a few things that come standard in the Zevs and price point of upgrading the Glock does get up there and even possibly more. CA problems 🤯

Melin hats 🔥 only ones I buy since they sell XL for my large dome lol

I've been picking up my brass. Just because I have to. If I get to the point where I'm overloaded I might try to reload. I don't know shit about it tho. Is it illegal to sell reloaded ammo?

This was great. Thank you. I like the "not everyone is this same" point. I can shoot alright but I know I jerk. My 9 not staying open after the last round isn't good but yet it's awesome to see how I'm jerking because I think there's a live round yet. It only happens with 1 magazine I have so I'm using it to my benefit. I'll try my best to random load a number of rounds. It's hard to get my mind not to count when doing it so I'll use several mags and stuff a few rounds in each trying not to pay attention.

Great video. In terms of regular maintenance, cleaning, and lubrication, is it the same as a glock? How often do you clean and lube your oz9? Less maintenance than a 2011? How many malfunctions unrelated to ammo between shooting all your OZ9s? You own how many OZ9s? Have you ran the radian ramjet + afterburner? If yes, any thoughts? Thank you sir

Great video! I have the Mantis but now getting more training feedback from my red dot and a shot timer.

Will the OZ9 fit Glock compatible holsters?

Can we even buy these?

Very curious about the newer Shooters Global "Go" version, its a smaller timer with a top screen like the PACT, but all the smart app features as the full size $300 timer for about the same price as the PACT (150 I think)

I have a Gen one OZ9. Both locking lugs on the barrel sheared off. Only had approx 2k rounds with the majority of that being 115gr training rounds and about 100 "duty" rounds. Also was attending a Sage Dynamics class and had one of my screws back out but I know that was on me and not the gun. The last thing that happened was the slide stop lever broke off during another training class. I did like shooting it till I went to staccatos.

Have you try the aluminum grips or use a light for adding weight

That is quite a few rounds to put through a pistol on springs/ parts. Do you know what kind of round count you can realistically expect to get with Glock OEM springs and striker?

What lbs recoil spring are you using in ur v1 and v2 OZ9? the stock is like 17lb IIRC. Would you consider changing out to a heavier rod(Tungsten) + light recoil (11-13lb) spring or just leave it OEM?

I typically get a blue label stock Glock, then throw a Zev slide on it. Their slides are fairly affordable and ROCK solid. Might have to try out a full Zev build one day.

Great video. I use two OZ-9s for competitions. I wish zev made a heavy grip module. Steel or Tungsten/Polymer. Yes I know they don’t cater to competition shooters anymore

My guess top ejection ports are more prone to send case towards glass.

Crazy fast.
