ZEV Technologies is one of the OGs in the custom Glock space. They were the first to offer drop-in replacement triggers for the platform.
Over time, ZEV has evolved, offering a wide range of Glock-compatible parts and its own platform. Their latest introduction is a collaboration with Field Ethos, an adventure magazine for men. The result is the Field Ethos Santeria Hypercomp.

FEATURES
The ZEV Technologies Santeria Hypercomp, developed in collaboration with Field Ethos, builds on the OZ9 V2 Hypercomp platform, featuring a focus on recoil control, structural rigidity, and premium finishing.
Chambered in 9mm, the pistol utilizes a ported island barrel with four tapered vertical ports that deliver compensator-like performance, helping reduce muzzle rise without adding length or bulk. It is built around ZEV’s patented steel receiver that runs the full length of the frame, increasing rigidity and dispersing recoil energy more efficiently, while a single takedown pin secures a removable grip module for modularity.
The trigger is housed within this steel receiver, allowing grip changes without full disassembly. A steel magwell adds weight to the polymer grip, improving balance, while enhanced grip geometry promotes a more forward hand position for better control.
ZEV’s patented RMR cut with integrated posts securely mounts the optic on the slide, and titanium nitride coatings and custom Field Ethos engravings finish the pistol, setting it apart visually.
ZOOMING OUT
At its core, the Field Ethos Santeria Hypercomp is a high-end Glock clone built with premium components. Field Ethos has become a driving force in recent years, with numerous collaborations across the industry. This fully decked-out pistol is ready for the range.
