If you’re looking for a pistol for home defense around Wichita, a reliable option for concealed carry with your Kansas permit, or something different to take to the range, the IWI UZI PRO in 9mm is worth a look. It builds on the well-known UZI platform, updating it for modern use.
What’s Different About the UZI PRO?
This isn’t your grandfather’s UZI. IWI has made some key improvements. The magazine release is moved to a more conventional pistol location – much easier to reach than on older models. The charging handle has been relocated to the left side of the receiver, allowing for a full-length Picatinny rail on top. This means you can mount a red dot sight or other optic without issue, and it’s something folks around here are doing more and more of as they get into action shooting sports.
The lower receiver incorporates advanced polymers to reduce weight, and there’s another Picatinny rail built into the lower, giving you a place to mount a light or laser. A lot of people in Kansas are interested in having a light for home defense, and this makes adding one straightforward.
