QSZ-92

The decision to develop a new pistol was made in 1987 to replace the Type 54/64/77. Research and development started in 1992. In June 2022, it's reported that Iraq has made the pistol as the Babylon through the Defence Industries Commission. They are sold to Iraqi lawyers who need personal protection. Former prime minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi was gifted the first Babylon made. It was reported that Norinco provided assistance in manufacturing the Babylon. On 11 July 2024, it was confirmed that the Hong Kong Police Force would adopt the CF98A and CS/LP5 respectively to replace the S&W M10HB revolvers for uniformed officers and SIG P250 Dcc pistols for detectives as necessary parts for maintenance are running out. ==Design==

Operation The QSZ-92 operates with a recoil-operated, locked-breech and has a rotating barrel locking system, in which the barrel rotates on recoil to lock and unlock itself from the slide, and the front part of the frame under the barrel is shaped as an accessory rail to accept laser sights or flash lights. A unique feature of this pistol is the detachable steel frame that sits inside the polymer grip and contains the fire control group. Like many modern military pistols, the QSZ-92 has a double-action/single-action trigger with a combined safety/decocker. Feeding The QSZ-92 features a dual stack magazine that holds either fifteen rounds of 9×19mm Parabellum ammunition (QSZ-92-9) or twenty proprietary 5.8×21mm Chinese-made armor-piercing rounds Accessory The QSZ-92 is fitted with QUS-181 suppressor, which is mounted on the rail instead of the muzzle due to the rotating barrel design. ==Variants==
