The Century Arms Micro Draco is a compact, .223 caliber semi-automatic pistol that packs a punch. While it’s not as popular as some other semi-automatic handguns, it still has its fans as a reliable choice for an all purpose semi-automatic pistol.

To start off let’s talk about the look of the Micro Draco, it’s sleek and modern looking, it features a black finish on the polymer lower frame with a satin stainless steel slide. The design is simple, there are a few small decorative cuts on the slide, but overall this gun is made to look good and be reliable.

Going on to performance, the Micro Draco fires a .223 caliber round, and is an extremely fast shooter. The Micro Draco also has a 5.5” barrel and is capable of shooting off rounds at high speeds, making it an excellent choice for close quarters combat. This gun also has a lot of kick due to the short barrel length and powerful round.

Moving on to the magazines, the Micro Draco comes with two double stack polymer magazines, one 10 round and one 30 round magazine. The magazines are easy to load and are well made. The magazines are easy to insert and remove and they lock securely into the magazine well.

The ergonomics of this gun are good, the pistol grips have a nice curved shape, making the gun comfortable to grip and giving it a nice natural point of aim. The trigger pull is also surprisingly light and smooth, making it a pleasure to shoot. The recoil is also minimal, even with the .223 round, making it extremely comfortable to fire off rounds.

Finally, the price of the Micro Draco is quite reasonable, going for somewhere in between $350 and $500. This is quite good for the quality of the gun. It’s not the cheapest gun on the market, but it’s also not the most expensive.

To sum it all up the Century Arms Micro Draco is an excellent choice for an all around semi-automatic pistol. It’s small and lightweight, but still packs a punch with its .223 round.
