The Uzi Pistol is a semi-automatic, compact version of the famous Uzi submachine gun, designed for personal defense and civilian use. Chambered in 9mm, it retains the iconic look of the original Uzi but features a closed-bolt, blowback operation to comply with civilian firearm regulations. Introduced in the 1980s, the Uzi Pistol was marketed primarily for self-defense and sport shooting.

While the Uzi Pistol was never adopted by military forces, it became popular among gun enthusiasts due to its connection to the Uzi's reputation for reliability and compact firepower. The pistol's size made it suitable for concealed carry, and its simple design ensured it was easy to maintain and operate, characteristics that made the Uzi name famous worldwide.

Today, the Uzi Pistol is seen as a collectible firearm, valued for its connection to the legendary Uzi submachine gun and its unique design. Though not as common as other pistols in military or police use, it maintains a special place in firearm history due to its lineage.
