History Top
P-93 was designed as a possible replacement for the P-83 Wanad as the standard pistol of the Polish police. Few were made and no new manufacture is planned.

Description Top
P-93 is a modified version of the P-83 Wanad pistol. Externally and ballistically the P-93 is very similar to SIG Sauer P-230 (in its original 9mm Police/Ultra chambering). It is a blowback operated pistol made to the large extend from sheet metal. It has 1 cm longer barrel and slide than its predecessor, giving it slightly better ballistic performance. New high visibility tritium illuminated sights top the slide. The biggest change compared to P-83, lies in the trigger mechanism. P-93 is equipped with a slide-mounted manual decocking lever and an automatic firing pin safety. Other improvements include a squared trigger guard more suitable for two-hand shooting, round hammer and much larger serrations on the slide. The Pistol is fed from an 8-round single-row magazine that is interchangeable with P-83's magazines. It can be finished in the standard black oxide or in bright or mat chrome.
