GU-9 made them equal.
The AK of pistols
A 9 mm service pistol built on the Kalashnikov idea: simple enough to strip without tools, tough enough for 20,000 rounds, priced for police forces and first-time owners alike.

Specifications
One pistol.
Every job.
Small enough to carry all day, big enough to shoot well. One frame, one barrel and one magazine across the range, so an agency stocks fewer spare parts and trains on one system.

Philosophy
The AK
of pistols.
The best weapon is the one that still works when everything else has gone wrong.
Kalashnikov did not build the most accurate rifle. He built the one that kept working in mud, sand and untrained hands, and that a poor country could afford by the thousand. The GU-9 applies the same three rules to the pistol.
Tough
20,000 rounds
No design change ships before it passes 20,000 rounds plus mud, sand, salt-fog and drop tests. Nitride steel and polymer do not rust.
Cheap to own
$249
Below every major competitor. Springs and magazines are priced to be replaced, not repaired, and one frame and barrel serve the whole range.
Where we sell
Built in Türkiye.
Carried worldwide.

Civilian buyers through a licensed importer, plus local police departments.
The world’s largest civilian market. Its police departments buy one by one, in small orders with a low entry barrier.
A Texas police department already issues a Turkish-made duty pistol.
Police, gendarmerie and armed forces.
Our home market, with a buy-domestic policy. Two strong local makers already compete for it.
More than 200,000 domestic pistols delivered under the national pistol project.
Frontex and national police forces.
Price decides most of the tender score, which suits a low-cost maker.
Frontex weighted price at 60% in its 2026 pistol tender; Slovak police plan to replace about 25,000 pistols.
Philippine National Police.
The lowest bid that passes the reliability test wins, which is exactly our model.
Tender pistols must survive 20,000 rounds plus drop, mud, sand and water tests: the standard every GU-9 is built to.
Indonesian National Police.
Close defence ties with Türkiye, and Turkish pistols are already in police service.
A Turkish maker has already won an Indonesian National Police contract.
National police forces in both countries.
Turkish brands are already trusted here; we bid together with a local production partner.
A Turkish maker agreed joint production of police pistols in Malaysia in 2019.
State and penal police forces.
A large police market that Turkish makers are already entering.
Turkish makers already bid in Brazilian police pistol tenders.
National police and gendarmeries, starting with Senegal.
Fast-growing and price-driven. Countries under UN arms embargoes are excluded.
Türkiye exported arms to nine African countries in 2020–2024.
Licensed gun shops and ranges, supplied by our Polish sales subsidiary.
Security fears in Central Europe are driving record civilian demand.
Poland issued a record 50,709 gun licences in 2025; Czechia has about 260,000 concealed-carry holders.
