Design and Key Features

The ZASTAVA ZPAP is chambered in 7.62x39mm and built around a compact 10-inch barrel, offering a blend of short‑package maneuverability and the cartridge’s stout terminal performance. The pistol ships with a single 30‑round magazine, a black finish contrasted by a Serbian Red handguard, and Krinkov Style Sights that are easy to acquire for quick target transitions.

Critical to durability, the platform uses a 1.5mm Bulged Trunnion Receiver, a design detail that increases strength where it matters and helps the pistol tolerate repeated use with full-size rifle cartridges. A lever safety provides a familiar manual control, enhancing safe handling in training and range environments.

Why 7.62x39mm Works Here

7.62x39mm delivers a reliable balance of energy and manageable recoil from a 10‑inch tube. For precision work at typical pistol-range distances, this cartridge offers strong bullet choices and wide availability, making range days efficient and cost-effective. The round suits target drills, metallic silhouette, and scenarios where penetration and a heavier bullet are desired in a compact format.

Practical Considerations for Owners

At a price of $1165.99, the ZASTAVA ZPAP positions itself as a purpose-built tactical pistol for shooters who want robust construction and generous magazine capacity in a short package. The finish and handguard color are distinctive while remaining practical for range and field use. Accessories such as muzzle devices, quality magazines, and optics (where legal and compatible) can further tailor the pistol to your preferred shooting disciplines.
