The Century Arms Draco HG8000N 7.62×39 7.5″ 30+1 Pistol brings the proven reliability of the AK platform into a compact, easy-to-handle package. Built around the hard-hitting 7.62x39mm cartridge, this semi-automatic pistol features a 7.5-inch barrel with a linear compensator to tame muzzle rise, making it a great choice for short-range target work and range days with the family. The US Palm free-float M-LOK handguard lets you mount lights, grips, or lasers exactly where you need them. Per Century Arms specs, this pistol ships with a 30-round magazine and is ready to shoot right out of the box.

Key Features
- Compact 7.5-inch barrel with linear compensator — Why it matters: The shorter barrel keeps the pistol easy to maneuver in tight spaces, while the compensator directs gasses forward to reduce felt recoil and muzzle flip, helping newer shooters stay on target.
- US Palm free-float M-LOK handguard — Why it matters: Free-floating the handguard improves accuracy by removing barrel pressure, and the M-LOK slots let you attach a flashlight, foregrip, or bipod without extra adapters.
- 30+1 round magazine capacity — Why it matters: You spend less time reloading and more time practicing, which is especially helpful when teaching multiple family members at the range.
- 14×1 LH threaded barrel — Why it matters: The threading allows you to install a suppressor, muzzle brake, or your preferred compensator, giving you flexibility for different shooting environments.
- Reliable 7.62x39mm semi-automatic action — Why it matters: This proven cartridge offers good stopping power and affordable ammo, while the semi-auto action keeps the learning curve gentle for beginners.
Who It’s For
This Draco pistol is built for families and new shooters who want a compact, easy-to-control firearm for range practice and home defense familiarization. It’s also a natural fit for experienced AK enthusiasts looking for a portable pistol that accepts modern accessories.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Lightweight and compact — easy for younger or smaller-framed shooters to handle.
- Pro: M-LOK handguard makes accessory mounting simple without gunsmithing.
- Con: The short barrel and pistol format mean reduced accuracy beyond 75 yards compared to a full-length rifle — plan for closer-range work.
- Con: The included magazine is a standard 30-rounder; you may want to purchase additional magazines for longer range sessions.
