ZEV

ZEV Technologies got its start building the first drop-in replacement triggers for Glock pistols, and today it builds its own pistols and rifles. The ZEV firearm we carry is the ZEV x Magpul FDP, short for Folding Defensive Platform: a 9mm that folds into a flat rectangle about 11 in. long and unfolds to about 20 in. when you need it. It runs on Glock-pattern 9mm magazines, ships with two Magpul PMAG 21 GL9s, and has a 7.05 in. 416R stainless steel barrel, a 17-4 stainless steel slide and a full-length Picatinny top rail.

The FDP comes in two versions. The FDP SBR is 10.75 in. folded and comes with a stock, so you buy it on an ATF Form 4, and we ship it to your door after approval. The federal tax on SBRs is $0 as of January 1, 2026. The FDP pistol is 11.5 in. folded, isn't an NFA item, and transfers through your local FFL.

The FDP we sell comes with a 1/2x28 threaded barrel installed, a Capitol Armory exclusive, so it's ready for a 9mm suppressor out of the box. If you already own an FDP with a standard barrel, ZEV's FDP threaded barrel is a drop-in replacement.
