For shooters who want the rugged familiarity of an AK platform combined with the controllable, widely available 9x19mm cartridge, there are few options that balance fun at the range with practical defensive capability. This compact, hard‑running package is built to be intuitive for those used to AK ergonomics while trimming recoil and ammo costs.
CENTURY ARMS DRACO 9S blends an AK-style stamped receiver and wood furniture with a 9x19mm chambering that most shooters already know. Key mechanical features include a stamped receiver with an integrated Picatinny optics rail, a short 11.14″ barrel, a 14X1mm LH (1/2″-28 TPI) thread pitch, and a rear sling mount. The DRACO 9S feeds from Scorpion pattern magazines (one 1–35 round magazine included) and is compatible with most AKM handguards, making upgrades and parts swaps straightforward for owners.
