Century has spent the past decade bringing in a line of Kalash pistols made by CUGIR in Romania. Branded under the Draco name, they have included 7.62x39mm standard, Micro and Mini Dracos, as well as a blowback 9mm dubbed the NAK9 that accepted Glock 17/19 mags.
Taking the latter as a base to work with, the new Draco 9S retains all the cool stuff about the NAK9 – which has suddenly disappeared from Century's website – and replaced them with a more AK-looking Scorpion mag.

The Century Draco 9S is 6.27 pounds in weight but brings an 11.14-inch barrel with a muzzle nut, wood furniture, rear adjustable sights, and a has a short Pic rail atop a hinged dust cover. (Photo: Century Arms)
The overall length is 19.13 inches, and it includes an enhanced trigger group and features a last-round bolt hold open in addition to the Scorpion magazine adapter. Note the rear sling swivel mount. (Photo: Century Arms)

It complements the 7.62x39mm Draco models, which Century has been bringing in since 2010.
The new Century Arms Draco 9S ships with a single Magpul PMAG 35 EV9 Scorpion magazine.
