Swinging back to the world of 9mm pistols, the first pistol above the $1,000 mark is Zev Technologies’ Z320 XCarry Octane. Taking the P320 to the next level, the Z320 XCarry Octane features a beautifully machined slide with an RMR cut and a Titanium Gray finish. The Z320 features Zev’s Diamond-pattern laser stippling on the grip as well as a dimpled Zev Pro barrel with a black DLC finish. Rounding out the enhanced features is a set of Zev’s combat sights complete with a fiber-optic pipe up front. The Z320 XCarry maintains Sig’s flat-faced trigger and other ergonomics, and it ships with two 17-round magazines.
