I came across an interesting pistol this week. It was at Weaponsmart in Lewiston, ID. Sitting a couple shelves below Glock pistols was one of these pistols that looks, at first glance, like a customized Glock. However, even a casual glance could tell there was something different.

Upon handling, I could immediately tell that the pistol felt different. It has an aluminum frame. The slide felt like a Glock, with the typical “sproinginess.” While spronginess isn’t in the dictionary, it accurately describes what I feel when I rack the slide on a Glock. My G21 does it in spades. The trigger feels kinda like a Glock, but quite a bit crisper. The pistol also has screws in various places that your typical Glock doesn’t have. Visually, the double undercut trigger, different cut slide, and different grip texture show it’s clearly something else…

It’s the ZRO Delta Modulus.

The pistol feels solid, and I’m a sucker for metal-framed pistols, so I purchased it. Essentially, it’s a $919 Glock 19. Perhaps a little expensive, but perhaps the modularity and better feel will be worth it. Besides, I need to see if it fits in a standard Glock holster.

When they brought out the pistol, it was in a nice case. Unfortunately, the case has a bunch of empty, open holes. I was told that those are for the “deployment kit” which provides two more slides, different magwells and backstraps, as well as different size dust covers. The case is pretty cool… but pretty empty.

Inside is my new pistol, some extra screws, a tool, a Glock Pmag, a USB key (I assume it has instructions on it), and some other stuff.

While I’ve not yet had a chance to run the pistol, I have checked it with the Werkz M6 holster for the Glock 19 with the Olight Baldr Mini. It didn’t fit. The rail places the light lower versus the bore axis and causes interference. Bummer.

I think this could be an interesting pistol development. Or it could be a flop. What do you think of it?
