The modern defensive shooter often needs a platform that blends compact size, proven design, and magazine compatibility. For those priorities, a short-barreled 9mm built on a tried-and-true operating system delivers a compelling mix of controllability and parts commonality.

CENTURY ARMS DRACO is built in Romania and chambered for 9mm Luger. It features a Picatinny optics rail on the hinged dust cover and ships with a 33-round magazine, while also accepting Glock 17 and 19 style magazines for added versatility. The NAK-9 includes standard-style AK sights for full-size models, a threaded barrel for muzzle devices, and premium wood handguards.
