China Pistol, 9mm, 4.5″ Barrel

The China Pistol retains the iconic silhouette and mechanical identity of the military Type 54 "Black Star" pistol but swaps the high-velocity 7.62x25mm bottle necked round for standard 9mm. To reliably feed the shorter 9mm cartridge, Norinco modified the platform by installing a spacer block (plug) into the back of the magazine well and creating dedicated 9mm single-stack magazines. It is built with an all-steel forged frame and slide, making it a heavy, incredibly durable handgun that naturally dampens recoil.
