This is my second review and range session with the IWI Zion Z15TAC12, which is their 12.5″ pistol with an 11.5″ Free Float Handguard, SB Tactical SBA3 Brace, and B5 Grip. I am running a Streamlight flash light and Magpul flip up sights Magpul also has a newer metal version that I have not tried yet

  1. I just bought one, put a strike industries foregrip, holosun 503c and changed the selector, mag release & bolt catch (to give it some personality). Will be going to the range this weekend

  2. I bought one of these a few months back bc a local shop had one at $775. Put a tailhook on, armaspec silent buffer system, 1.5lb Timney, swapped the B5 to a BCM gunfighter and with a cheap optic and 3x mag(AT3 Tactical set). Wasn’t expecting anything outside of what AR pistols are known for but I was wrong. It easily went sub 1 MOA at 100 yards right after sight in with regular old 55gr federals. That longer gas system makes it shoot like a rifle normally would and the length seems to shoot just as well as a 16”. IWI really put out a quality piece with the 12.5s.

  3. It's a damn good gun for the money, I can't believe there's not very many reviews out there. I received mine a few weeks ago and everything you say about is true. I was very surprised at how good the mil-spec trigger was. I had a Geissele SSP laying around so I went ahead and threw it in there, but i would have have had no issues with the original trigger. I was getting 2 moa with some cheap 55 grain monarch, I got some 77 grain frontier I'm gonna try out this weekend. I put a radian raptor SD charging handle, Holosun 503G with ACSS reticle and 3x magnifier, magpul two point sling and all I need now is a light.
