Norinco CF98 9mm Pistol

The Norinco CF98 is the standard-issue sidearm of the People's Liberation Army — China's official military service pistol adopted in 1998 and still in active service across the world's largest military organisation. Produced by China North Industries Corporation (Norinco) to PLA specifications, the CF98 represents Chinese military small arms engineering at its most operationally significant.

The CF98 features a design characteristic unique in this collection: an internal hammer that is not externally visible, combined with a DA/SA action. This internal hammer configuration provides a clean exterior profile without the external hammer protrusion found on most DA/SA pistols, while still delivering the heavier first DA pull and lighter subsequent SA pulls of a traditional hammer-fired system. A frame-mounted safety and decocker allow both modes of carry.

The polymer frame and steel slide construction delivers service pistol durability, and the 115mm barrel and 15-round magazine provide full-size specifications. The CF98 is positioned as one of the most affordable full-size 9mm pistols in the collection and carries genuine historical significance as the issued sidearm of the world's largest active military force. It is the only pistol in this collection with an internal hammer DA/SA mechanism — a detail that genuinely distinguishes it from every other DA/SA offering.
