The compact AK-style pistol remains a niche but valued option for shooters wanting a durable, short-barrel platform built on proven mechanics. Tactical users who prioritize rugged reliability and straightforward maintenance will recognize the appeal of a miniature AK that keeps familiar controls and magazine compatibility in a condensed package.

CENTURY ARMS ROA 22 PG-1772 is a used Romarm (Cugir) Mini Draco-style pistol imported into the U.S. through Century Arms. It is a compact, semi-automatic AK-style pistol chambered in 7.62×39 mm with a shortened barrel and the same receiver profile as a full-size AK, offering standard AK magazine compatibility and heavy-duty construction.

Design and Build

The platform retains the standard-width AK receiver and control layout while reducing overall length via a short barrel and truncated fore-end. That compact geometry yields a pistol package well-suited for close-quarters maneuvering and fast handling drills. Built by Romarm (Cugir) and imported by Century Arms, the firearm benefits from Romanian manufacturing heritage and common AK parts availability.

Caliber and Ballistics

Chambered in 7.62×39 mm, the cartridge is proven for reliable terminal performance at short to moderate ranges and excellent barrier penetration relative to smaller intermediate cartridges. For defensive and tactical short-range roles, 7.62×39 offers controllable recoil in a compact platform with wide magazine availability.

Handling, Magazines, and Accessories

The pistol accepts standard AK magazines—30-round magazines are common—making logistics straightforward for users already running AK-pattern gear. The receiver’s full-width profile supports robust accessory mounting solutions when fitted with appropriate rails or adapters. For training, expect typical AK ergonomics: simple controls, predictable cycles, and easy field stripping for maintenance.

Inspection Tips for a Used Specimen

When examining a used CENTURY ARMS ROA 22 PG-1772, check the trunnion and rivet integrity, wear on the bolt and carrier, headspace and chamber condition, and ensure the gas system cycles cleanly. Verify magazine fit and feed lips for consistent seating and inspect the barrel for throat erosion or pitting that affects accuracy.
