Century Arms RI4378N VSKA Trooper 16.5" 31-Round Pistol

The Century Arms RI4378N VSKA Trooper 16.5" 31-Round Pistol is a modern sporting pistol built on proven AK-platform mechanics, designed for shooters seeking reliable semi-automatic firepower in a compact, magazine-fed configuration. This firearm bridges the gap between traditional pistol ergonomics and rifle-class handling, making it suitable for home defense, tactical training, and general-purpose shooting.

The 31-round capacity and 16.5-inch barrel strike a balance between maneuverability and ballistic efficiency, particularly valuable for operators working in confined spaces or those prioritizing rapid target engagement. The VSKA platform delivers the renowned durability of long-stroke piston operation—a design principle trusted by military and law enforcement worldwide for decades. At 9.6 pounds, the pistol remains manageable for extended shooting sessions while maintaining sufficient mass to dampen recoil impulse and enhance control.

The 16.5-inch barrel provides adequate velocity for common rifle cartridges while keeping the overall length at 39 inches, facilitating draw from tight quarters and reducing sight radius compromise compared to much longer platforms. Magazine-fed operation simplifies field reloading and ammunition management, eliminating the complexity of stripper-clip loading while maintaining high capacity and rapid magazine changes essential to dynamic shooting scenarios. The RI4378N suits defensive shooters, sport competitors, and training-focused operators well.
