Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the ZEV Z320X Compact pistol shoot low compared to a Glock 19?

The ZEV Z320X Compact often shoots low due to the specific design of its iron sights and how the barrel functions. This means that when you aim with the same sight picture used for a Glock 19, your shots will land lower than intended. It's a characteristic of the firearm's mechanics, not necessarily shooter error.

What is the 'Box to Bullseye' video series about?

The 'Box to Bullseye' series focuses on providing unbiased reviews of firearms. The presenter shoots each gun for the first time without any prior dry-firing or handling, aiming to give genuine first impressions and relay actionable information about its performance and characteristics.

How can I improve my pistol accuracy when using a new firearm?

To improve pistol accuracy with a new firearm, use a free printable warm-up target with 1-inch squares. Practice slow, deliberate shots from 3-7 yards, focusing on your sight picture. Crucially, test your specific firearm to understand its unique aiming characteristics and adjust your sight picture accordingly.

Is it important to test different handguns even if I'm proficient with one?

Yes, it is critically important to test different handguns. Firearms vary in their sights, ergonomics, and mechanical functions. Assuming proficiency with one pistol (like a Glock 19) will translate to another (like a ZEV Z320X Compact) without testing can lead to inaccurate shooting and a false sense of readiness.
