Israel Weapon Industries IWI launches the UZI Pro 9x19mm pistol at Milipol 2013 2311137.

The UZI PRO, one of the most popular weapons in the world, operationally proven, with millions of units sold around the globe, is now available in a Semi Auto pistol configuration ideal for law enforcement, security, and Special Forces units.

The UZI PRO Pistol delivers all the benefits of the UZI PRO Sub-Machine Gun: lightweight, compact, accurate and reliable. A longer barrel enables increased effectiveness as well as additional available ammunition. Among its many features are Picatinny rails - and the option of either concealed or openly carried use.

The UZI PRO 9x19mm Pistol is a lightweight magazine fed firearm, based on the famous UZI sub machine gun; it is blow back operated, shoulder or hip weapon that can be fired in automatic or semi automatic modes.

The Uzi Pro is an evolution of the Micro-Uzi submachine gun. It retains same blowback operated, closed bolt, select-fire action but with side-mounted bolt handle, and the most important change is replacement of the older stamped steel trigger housing with more lightweight polymer pistol grip / trigger housing unit of more ergonomic shape. The magazine housing is located in the pistol grip, making the magazine replacement in the dark much more simple.
