This review of the CAI Zastava PAP M92 AK47 pistol provides an in-depth look at its performance, including zeroing the optic, testing different ammunition types, and evaluating its ergonomics and recoil. The instructor highlights the pistol's quality, accuracy for its class, and the surprising effectiveness of a muzzle compensator. The video also touches on the challenges of inconsistent ammunition performance and the importance of understanding height over bore for pistol-caliber carbines and pistols.

Quick Summary

The CAI Zastava PAP M92 AK47 pistol features a 10-inch barrel and a high height over bore of approximately 3.9 inches, influencing zeroing strategy. While initial recoil reduction from a muzzle compensator was subtle, it improved follow-up shot speed. The firearm demonstrated good accuracy for its class, though ammunition variance with Tula steel case was noted.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the height over bore on the CAI Zastava PAP M92 pistol?

The CAI Zastava PAP M92 pistol has a height over bore measurement of approximately 3.9 inches. This significant height influences the zeroing strategy, especially at closer distances, requiring careful consideration to ensure accurate point of impact.

How does the muzzle compensator affect the Zastava PAP M92's performance?

While the initial perceived recoil reduction from the muzzle compensator on the PAP M92 was minimal, it significantly improved the speed of target reacquisition for follow-up shots. This enhanced capability allows for quicker and more efficient shooting.

What issues were observed with Tula steel case ammunition in the PAP M92?

Significant ammunition variance was noted with Tula steel case ammunition. Some rounds were considerably hotter, producing larger muzzle flash and printing much higher than expected, suggesting potential issues with lot consistency, storage, or age.

What are the overall thoughts on the CAI Zastava PAP M92 pistol's quality and ergonomics?

The CAI Zastava PAP M92 is considered a higher quality AK pistol with excellent ergonomics. It fits well, feels natural to handle, and offers good accuracy for its class, making it a reliable and enjoyable firearm to shoot.
