Explore Different Types of AK-47 Pistols
AK pistols come in several configurations depending on caliber, barrel length, and intended use. Here are the main types we carry:
- 7.62x39mm AK Pistols: The most popular AK-pattern pistol configuration, these models chamber the classic 7.62x39mm round and typically feature a 10 to 12.5 inch barrel. With a standard 30-round magazine and effective range inside 200 yards, this is the go-to setup for home defense and range use.
- 5.56mm AK Pistols: For shooters who want AK reliability with lighter recoil and cheaper ammo, 5.56 AK pistols offer a middle ground between the AK and AR platform. These models reduce bullet drop at distance and accept widely available ammunition.
- 9mm AK Pistols: For shooters who want AK reliability with lower ammo costs and reduced recoil, 9mm AK pistols offer a compact option ideal for range use and training. These models accept widely available handgun ammo and provide a softer shooting experience while keeping the robust performance of the AK platform.
- Pistol Brace-Ready Models: Many AK pistols ship with or accept pistol braces and feature a picatinny rail for mounting a red dot sight or other optics. Factory iron sights come standard on most models, giving shooters a ready-to-fire firearm out of the box with room to customize.
