The Century Arms Draco Mini 7.62x39mm is a Romanian-made, semi-automatic pistol built on a stamped steel receiver that brings AK ergonomics and reliability into a compact, maneuverable platform. At 17.50 inches overall with a 7.75-inch threaded barrel, this is the gun for shooters who want the punch of 7.62x39 in a size that handles like a handgun—whether you're running it at the range, setting it up for home defense, or building a versatile truck gun. The 30+1 capacity and straightforward AK controls make it intuitive if you already know the platform, and forgiving if you don't.

What makes the Mini Draco worth a serious look is the practical balance of features. The threaded barrel lets you add a suppressor or muzzle brake to suit your needs. Standard AK-pattern sights (adjustable front, distance-adjustable rear) come ready to use out of the box, and the rear Picatinny rail opens the door to optics if you want to modernize the setup. The red wood handguard and polymer grip deliver that classic AK look while keeping you comfortable on the gun. At 5.65 pounds unloaded, it's light enough to handle all day without fatigue.

One 30-round US Palm magazine is included with every gun. The stamped receiver keeps manufacturing costs down without compromising durability—Century Arms' Romanian-made stamped AKs have a solid track record downrange. If you're after a short-barreled 7.62x39 semi-auto pistol that doesn't require NFA paperwork and works straight out of the box, the Draco Mini delivers.
