Zaffiri Precision to Unveil Their First Complete Pistols at SHOT 2026
Zaffiri Precision, a manufacturer of aftermarket slides, barrels, and components for Glock and SIG Sauer pistols, is set to present a refreshed product lineup at SHOT Show 2026. The company will also introduce three complete pistols for the first time. Beginning in January 2026, Zaffiri Precision is moving away from its long-running à la carte, build-your-own slide approach and placing greater emphasis on pre-configured complete uppers. These uppers are said to be extensively tested and are intended to function as direct bolt-on upgrades for compatible pistols.
The new complete uppers are divided into five tiers: ZULU, ECHO, X-RAY, VECTOR, and IBS. Each tier will be available in a standard configuration as well as an Elite variant. According to the company, Elite models add upgraded components such as tritium suppressor-height night sights, stainless steel guide rods, billet extractors, and steel back plates, with the goal of improving durability and long-term reliability.
Zaffiri Precision notes that customers who prefer to assemble their own builds will still have access to the company’s full catalog of individual components and accessories, including its range of titanium nitride and other finishes.
Here's an overview of the new lineup, from the press release:
“ZULU / ZULU Ported / ZULU Elite
The ZULU series is a function-first design prioritizing reliability and performance with a clean, duty-oriented aesthetic that stays close to the stock OEM look. It includes front and rear serrations, balanced weight-reduction cuts, and an RMR optic cut. The ZULU Elite adds a threaded barrel, upgraded backplate, stainless steel guide rod, and suppressor-height tritium night sights for added versatility in suppressed or compensated setups.
ECHO / ECHO Elite
The ECHO combines aggressive styling with practical functionality, featuring angled serrations, distinctive window cuts, and a sleek, modern profile. It offers excellent slide manipulation and balanced weight reduction without compromising durability. The ECHO Elite includes a threaded barrel, upgraded backplate, stainless steel guide rod, and suppressor-height tritium night sights for smoother operation and premium refinement.
X-RAY / X-RAY Elite
The X-RAY stands out with geometric window cuts and a competition-inspired design that maximizes weight reduction and quick handling. Ideal for shooters balancing speed, aesthetics, and performance, it features front/rear serrations and an optic-ready platform. The X-RAY Elite upgrades include a threaded barrel, stainless steel guide rod, upgraded backplate, and suppressor-height tritium night sights for superior recoil control and modularity.
VECTOR / VECTOR Elite
The VECTOR features sharp directional cuts, aggressive serrations, and a dual-finish treatment—high-polished surfaces paired with Zaffiri Precision's Super Grip Black—for striking contrast and superior grip. It delivers tactical refinement and confident handling. The VECTOR Elite adds a threaded barrel, stainless steel guide rod, upgraded backplate, and suppressor-height tritium night sights while preserving the signature aesthetic.
IBS (Integrated Barrel System) / IBS Elite
The IBS is built for maximum recoil management and flatter shooting through Zaffiri Precision's signature integrated chunk-ported design, redirecting gases directly in the slide for reduced muzzle rise. It offers bold styling with competition-level speed. The IBS Elite provides two configurations—one with a threaded barrel and another with an Elite ported barrel—both including an upgraded backplate, stainless steel guide rod, and suppressor-height tritium night sights.”
