ZEV Technologies FDP, 9mm, 7.05-inch Barrel, 21-Round Folding Pistol, Black

ZEV Technologies FDP, 9mm, 7.05-inch Barrel, 21-Round Folding Pistol, Black

The ZEV Technologies FDP is a 9mm semi-automatic folding pistol developed with Magpul. This black FDP-P-9-BLK configuration combines a 7.05-inch barrel with a polymer chassis that folds into a compact package for storage and transport. Its adjustable carry-handle sights, Picatinny rail, and ambidextrous charging system distinguish the Folding Defensive Platform from a conventional slide-and-frame handgun.

The package includes two Magpul PMAG 21 GL9 magazines, each with a 21-round capacity, plus custom laser-cut foam sized for a Pelican 1450 case. This is the pistol configuration of the FDP, not the shoulder-stocked carbine version.

Explore the ZEV and Magpul folding pistol at BattleHawk Armory. The FDP combines a distinctive chassis design with included sights and two magazines for a complete starting configuration.

7.05-inch 9mm Barrel and Folding Polymer Chassis

The FDP pistol uses a 7.05-inch barrel chambered in 9mm. Its defining feature is the way the complete platform packages that barrel and operating system inside a Magpul-designed polymer chassis. The chassis folds for a smaller storage footprint and locks into its shooting configuration when opened.

For a buyer comparing unconventional range pistols, the folding layout is the major point of difference. It changes the physical format of the firearm while retaining semi-automatic operation and a detachable-magazine system. The polymer construction also gives the FDP its integrated exterior shape rather than the separate exposed slide and frame associated with many familiar handguns.

Adjustable Carry-Handle Sights and Picatinny Rail

Adjustable iron sights are built into the included carry handle. This provides a sighting system as part of the pistol package without requiring an optic purchase. The handle and sights form a recognizable part of the FDP's profile, while the adjustable sights allow the shooter to establish a suitable zero.

A full-length 1913 Picatinny rail beneath the removable carry handle provides an alternative optics-mounting interface. The Picatinny interface is distinct from a direct-mount pistol slide footprint: select a rail-compatible optic mount and confirm clearance with the FDP's geometry. The presence of a rail does not mean that every optic, riser, or accessory will fit without checking the individual combination.

Ambidextrous Charging and Reversible Magazine Release

The FDP combines an ambidextrous charging system with a reversible magazine release. These are specific control features that support right- or left-handed preferences without implying that every control has the same arrangement. Buyers accustomed to conventional handguns should review the FDP's controls and operating instructions before use.

Two Included Magpul PMAG 21 GL9 Magazines

Each included PMAG 21 GL9 holds 21 rounds of 9x19mm ammunition. The magazines use polymer bodies, stainless steel springs, and high-visibility controlled-tilt followers. Indicator windows at 10, 15, and 21 rounds provide reference points for checking the magazine's load state.

The PMAG design also incorporates a removable floorplate and a paint-pen dot matrix for identification. The second included magazine gives the owner a matching spare, and the identification panel is useful for distinguishing magazines during range practice. The FDP uses GLOCK-pattern magazines and Magpul GL9 PMAGs; confirm fit for any alternative magazine rather than assuming universal compatibility with every GLOCK magazine size or caliber.

Included Foam and Case Compatibility

Custom laser-cut foam is included for use with a Pelican 1450 case. The foam is a storage accessory shaped for the FDP package, not a Pelican hard case. Match any separately purchased case to the specified 1450 size rather than assuming the insert will fit a different Pelican model.
