DRACO: Any Reason to Not Get One?

[PsychGuy274]

So I want a good gun that's reliable for CQC that I can also take out to 600m. My friend said to get a Draco. Is it a good gun?

Ok, ok, I'm joking

Really though, I was thinking about getting one because they're so flippin' cheap and they seem cool. Are there any MAJOR problems with them such as feeding issues, reliability issues, etc.? This would be a plinker for me so accuracy is pretty unnecessary. It just seems too good to pass up for the price.

I dont know about a Draco at 600, that's indirect fire lol

[QQQ]

I had one; it was fun but it jammed. I don't know of anyone else who had that problem, though. I'd say go for it if you want it.

An AK pistol is a novelty gun. I would NEVER rely on one for CQC or expect to shoot 600 yards with a 9" barreled anything.

For plinking accracy is everything but, you don't need to worry about precision as much.

You'll be hard pressed to build one much cheaper than a draco. I think mine ended up being close to $500 to build.

AK pistols are a ton of fun. I went the build route instead of the buy route. Personally I think the Dracos are overpriced and kind of ugly, so I built an AMD pistol with the original AMD barrel. Kick is light, gun is reasonably accurate, and it ALWAYS gets attention at the range.

I should stick it in my sled next time I'm out and see what kind of accuracy I can get out of it...

Like CSA, I ended up just a bit over $500 for parts and build party fees.

get one, move out of state, and sbr it

I dig mine. A fun gun for 50-100yrd shooting.

A friend bought one and now that I've shot it, I'm glad I didn't buy one myself.
In stock condition it is difficult to impossible to aim with the smallish AK sights that you have to hold even further away from your eyes. It puts out an almighty muzzle flash at night and with the 10 round/bullet button configuration its not even fun to spray away with.
In California, IMHO, its a novelty at best.
YMMV but I would take a pass.

Would you guys also consider an AR pistol in the same category as the Draco or any AK-style pistol? Plinker, novelty, fun-gun?

Yep, they are definately in the same catagory.

Love mine. Eventually though Ill add a barrel extension and stock to it just to make it more practical.
But its alot of fun in the meantime and surprisingly accurate.

Ammo. Biggest reason I don't shoot my Lancaster AK is because I can't shoot the ammo I have for it at the ranges. I figure you'll have the same problem with the Draco.

why not just buy a full sized ak then?
