If you’re running a ZEV pistol, finding the right ZEV holster matters more than most people realize. These are not standard Glock clones, and using the wrong holster will immediately affect retention, draw, and overall performance.
At Slim Fit Holsters, we build dedicated solutions for every OZ9 V2 model using all of our holster platforms.
ZEV OZ9 V2 Models We Support
ZEV currently offers three primary pistol configurations. We support all of them with a properly fitted ZEV holster across our lineup.
OZ9 V2 Combat Pistol
The Combat model is the most versatile ZEV platform.
- Balanced size for carry and range use
- Reliable all-around performance
- Ideal for everyday setups
If you’re looking for a dependable ZEV OZ9 holster, this is one of the most common models we build for.
OZ9 V2 Elite Pistol
The Elite version steps up performance and refinement.
- Enhanced slide cuts
- Premium trigger system
- Built for higher-end performance
This model is commonly paired with appendix carry setups, making a properly designed ZEV holster critical for comfort and consistency.
OZ9 V2 Elite Hypercomp Pistol
The Hypercomp is built for speed and recoil control.
- Integrated compensator
- Reduced muzzle rise
- Faster follow-up shots
Because of the extended length, a standard holster will not work correctly. You need a ZEV holster designed to accommodate the compensator.

Why You Need a Dedicated ZEV Holster
ZEV pistols have key differences that affect holster compatibility:
- Slide geometry and aggressive cuts
- Frame tolerances
- Compensator length (Hypercomp)
- Rail variations
Using a generic holster can cause:
- Poor retention
- Drag during draw
- Interference with the slide or compensator
A properly built ZEV holster eliminates these issues.
Light-Bearing ZEV Holster Options
If you’re running a weapon-mounted light, retention is based on the light itself.
Our light-bearing ZEV holster designs:
- Maintain consistent retention
- Allow proper clearance for comps
- Work across all OZ9 V2 models
