What is the point of an AK pistol?
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.
Should I get the Micro Draco?
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

Are AK-47s modular like the AR-15?
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.
