The Century Arms Draco 7.62x39mm semi-automatic pistol is a Romanian-made firearm built on proven AK platform design, sized and configured as a compact pistol rather than a rifle. If you're drawn to AK ergonomics but want a shorter, handy platform for the range, hunting, or specialized use, the Draco delivers full-power 7.62x39 capability in a 21.5-inch overall length package that weighs just 5.5 pounds. It's the kind of gun that appeals to shooters who value simplicity, reliability, and the ability to run common ammunition and magazines.

This model ships with a 12.25-inch barrel fitted with a muzzle nut, an enhanced trigger group, and a threaded barrel ready to accept standard muzzle devices of your choice. The foregrip is a premium handguard, and sights follow traditional AK design: adjustable front post and distance-adjustable rear leaf. A single 30-round US Palm magazine is included, and the stamped receiver keeps things tough and no-frills. Wood furniture and a black finish round out the build.

The Draco occupies a specific niche: it's not a short-barreled rifle (it's a pistol), and it's not a full-size AK rifle. That category appeals to hunters and shooters who want intermediate-power centerfire in a short, maneuverable profile, or who are building a specialized setup where AK-platform parts compatibility matters. Once you understand what it is, the value becomes clear.
