Editor’s Note: The Century Arms Draco is built in Romania, bringing the famous AK reliability into a smaller, more compact platform. It features a 12.25-inch threaded barrel, standard AK sights, enhanced trigger group, and comes standard with one 30-round US Palm magazine. The Draco offers an AK platform that is both compact and reliable.

FINAL VERDICT
"If you’re hunting for a shorty AK and don’t want to spend Meridian Defense money, then the Draco gets it done. It’s plenty reliable, albeit simple and a little ugly. The Draco isn’t necessarily a cheap gun, but reliable AKs tend to command a premium these days. If you’re a hip-hop enthusiast, no other AK pistol will do." - Travis Pike
