Frequently Asked Questions — AK Pistols
What is an AK pistol?
An AK pistol is a compact firearm built on the AK-47 platform with a short barrel and no buttstock — legally classified as a pistol. They deliver the AK's legendary reliability in a more maneuverable package. Popular models include the Century Arms Draco, Pioneer Arms Hellpup, and Zastava ZPAP92 in 7.62x39mm.
Do AK pistols require NFA registration?
No — AK pistols are legally classified as pistols and do not require NFA tax stamps or registration. Adding a buttstock to an AK pistol would reclassify it as a short-barreled rifle requiring NFA registration. Pistol stabilizing braces may be used without NFA registration. Always verify current ATF regulations and your state laws.
What caliber are AK pistols?
Most AK pistols chamber 7.62x39mm — the original AK cartridge. Some models like the Zastava ZPAP85 chamber 5.56 NATO for AR-compatible ammunition. The 7.62x39mm offers substantial terminal performance and feeds reliably from standard AK magazines in pistol-length configurations.
