Like the AR-15, AK guns (both rifles and handguns) were designed to be easy to adapt to a variety of use cases. Our AK-47 rifles, for example, are the rifle version of these AK pistols.
However, even though they are smaller, they are still capable. Pistols like the Micro Draco from Romanian manufacturer Century Arms, for example, use the same caliber as the rifle variant: 7.62x39mm. You can expect around the same level of firepower, but in a much smaller package that is built for close-quarters self-defense.
If you're looking for other self-defense weapons, look through our Concealed Carry Collection. These compact handguns for sale are both powerful and easy to hide for daily carry.

AK handguns put the power of a rifle caliber into a small gun someone can easily control. It's like the inverse of pistol-caliber carbines: instead of pistol caliber rounds in a rifle-like firearm, it's rifle rounds in a handgun.
This Romanian pistol has two main use cases: home self-defense and as a "fun gun" to take out shooting. If either (or both) of these apply to your needs, great! You should definitely get the Draco. However, for any other use case, it's probably best to look elsewhere. Take a look at our Best Sellers to see some options that our community has agreed are great weapons.
While the AK-47 is adaptable and easily serviceable, it isn't "modular" like an AR-15. The AR platform is known for being able to easily swap parts and add attachments, allowing complete personalization in functionality and appearance. The AK-47, however, was designed to be simple, inexpensive, and easy to mass-produce. Stock AKs don't have any kind of modular accessory system (other than a side rail with some models); aftermarket parts are necessary to add even something as basic as an optic.
If you want simplicity, use an AK pistol or rifle. If you want customizability, use an AR.
