The QSZ-92 Services Pistol (Chinese: 92式手槍; pinyin: Jiǔ Shí Èr Shì Shoǔqiàng; literally "Type 92 Handgun") is a semi-automatic pistol designed by Norinco and it is in limited service in the People's Liberation Army since the late 1990s.

Development

The pistol is recoil operated, locked breech and uses a rotating barrel locking system, in which the barrel rotates on recoil to lock and unlock itself from the slide. The front part of the frame under the barrel is shaped as an accessory rail to accept laser sights or flash lights. Its dual stack magazine holds fifteen rounds of either 9x19mm Parabellum ammunition (QSZ-92-9) or proprietary 5.8x21mm armor-piercing ammunition with bottle-necked case and pointed bullets (QSZ-92-5.8), closely resembling the Belgian 5.7x28mm format.

The development of the QSZ-92 pistol began circa 1994 and it is now being adopted by the People's Liberation Army forces. The export variants (9mm version) include the CF-98 (muzzle life ~ 8000 rds) and the NP-42 (muzzle life ~ 10,000 rds). The latter is the basic version without provisions for suppressor etc., which has so far found commercial export in Canada as well as having been adopted by the Armed Forces of Bangladesh as the Type 92 pistol, replacing at some extent the older Type 54.
