CENTURY ARMS AP53

Product Information & Specs

The Century Arms AP53 Pistol 5.56 NATO delivers compact tactical performance in a durable and powerful PDW-style platform. Chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, this semi-automatic pistol features an 8.3-inch barrel, fixed front and fully adjustable rear sights, and a four-prong flash hider for reduced muzzle signature. With an overall length of just 22.3 inches and a weight of 7.2 lbs, the AP53 is purpose-built for maneuverability and effectiveness in tight spaces.
The Century Arms AP53 is engineered to provide rifle-caliber firepower in a compact pistol configuration. Its 8.3-inch barrel strikes a balance between portability and ballistic performance, while the four-prong flash hider helps mitigate flash for better visibility in low-light scenarios. The fixed front sight and adjustable rear sight offer reliable aiming solutions, and the platform is designed to accept HK33-patterned magazines—an excellent option for shooters already invested in compatible systems.
This pistol features rugged synthetic furniture and a black matte finish that resists wear in harsh conditions. Weighing 7.2 lbs unloaded, it maintains controllability and stability even during rapid fire. The AP53 includes two 30-round magazines.

PEACE OF MIND

Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction.  And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process.  We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it.  We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store.  And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process.  We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.


WE SUPPORT LOCAL GUN STORES
WE SUPPORT LOCAL GUN STORES

Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community.  Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state.  At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible.  That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.


WE KEEP IT SIMPLE
WE KEEP IT SIMPLE

Most everything can be easily bought online these days.  But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated.  Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want.  Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice.  Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
