This has opened up their product lines and increased their manufacturing capability.

In a press release issued on the 22nd January, ZRODELTA claim that the new Genesis Z9 Glock-based modular system will “allow users to convert from compact to a full long slide race gun in seconds thanks to its Patent Pending Design.”

The new 9x19mm pistol’s frame is made from Billet 7075 Aluminium and will be offered in a number of models including: Compact, Service and Race (long slide competition setup). The shooter will be able to increase the length of the Z9’s grip (from carry to full length), add a flared magazine well, as well as replace the front and back straps for increase ergonomic customisation.

Pat Harrigan, ZRODELTA’s CEO said the new pistol is “more modular, ergonomic, accurate, cross-platform, and cross-application compatible than any other pistol of its kind… its utility is truly groundbreaking.”
