China's Deadliest Handgun--The Type 77 Pistol
Added 2026-01-02 00:39:16 +0000 UTCYes, China really did beat Glock! The PLA revived the subcompact striker-fired defensive pistol well over a decade before the Glock 26.
The haters said it couldn't be done! "A new kind of pistol, designed by a proletarian tinkerer with no engineering education?! Just a heart full of Mao Zedong Thought and a reference collection of bizarre curio & relic weapons?!"
Wang Jiageng showed them! Wang breathed life into a type of pistol operation that had lain dormant for half a century and created a weapon ahead of its time that went on to shed more blood than perhaps any other Chinese pistol of its time.
