A Detailed Look At The Pistollo 77° - The Strangest Looking PCC Ever
The Pistollo 77° is probably one of the weirdest firearms I’ve ever seen. As the designer ran me through the details, I had a hard time realizing what I was looking at. It’s almost as if one lets Artificial Intelligence design a gun, and we all have a laugh that it’s never going to work. But the Pistollо is real, it works and the first production units are about to be released. It would totally fit any country’s Space Force, but unless you’re Czech, you can’t buy it. Not just yet, anyway, but it will eventually be available for the U.S. market.
Pistol Caliber Carbines @ TFB:
Apart from its unconventional looks, there are some other strange solutions, like the 3D-printed barrel cover, which indicates the safety status. If the cover is on, the gun is safe. Luckily, there are two more conventional safeties.
The charging handle is also a bit different and hidden. Note that the gun stands on the magazine, which is pretty neat.
In case you wonder how the Pistollo 77° got its name, it’s in the angle.
Let’s try to stay focused on the 77° angle, and not the lipstick red details.
Silver and black give it a really modern and futuristic look.
Key Features of the Pistollо 77°:
Caliber & Compatibility: Chambered in 9mm Luger, the Pistollo 77° is compatible with Gen 4 Glock 17 magazines, including a standard 17-round magazine. Just look how they hid it!
Construction: Crafted from steel, Duralumin (an aluminum alloy), and 3D-printed components, the firearm measures 720 mm in length, 150 mm in height, and 35 mm in width.
Recoil Management: The Pistolli is said to feature a unique recoil-dampening system, making recoil virtually unnoticeable, enhancing comfort for all shooters. I’d love to be able to verify this, but unfortunately, the introduction was not on a range day.
Safety Mechanisms: Three unique safety mechanisms. A barrel cover that visually signals the weapon’s safety status and prevents it from being unlocked until removed. An adjustable-length stock that automatically unlocks the weapon when extended, ensuring quick readiness for shooting. A trigger mechanism with a mechanical firing pin block, preventing any unintended discharge.
Integrated Sight: Includes a built-in external collimator (red dot) with a solar-powered reticle offering three modes: a 2 MOA dot, a 32 MOA reticle, or a combination of both. The sight adjusts brightness automatically and is housed in a durable titanium alloy body. The reticle is green!
Design & Finish: The firearm boasts a Cerakote finish, known for its resistance to scratches, chemicals, and high temperatures. Available in various colors, including silver, grey, black, blue, and red.
TFB exclusive - we take the Pistollо 77° apart and take a detailed look at the internals. Remove the stock by pushing down a pin, and we start to see what’s hidden inside.
The barrel length is 10,1”, which is pretty perfect for 9x19mm PCCs.
Some of the highlights behind the Pistollo concept. Except this concept has continued on, and the first carbines are now being built.
I don’t think it needs to be mentioned when you see this image, but you cannot change the grip. The trigger is straight.
I would love to see what it looks like with a Glock 33-round magazine. Someone has to do it!
There are several color configurations available, and for once, they’re not FDE, OD Green and Coyote.
The Pistollо here has the barrel cover on, which is supposed to indicate that the gun is safe.
The first 100 units of the Pistollо 77° pistol caliber carbine are currently in production, with the goal of getting them released to customers by the summer of 2025. Pistollo will hold their first customer and sales days at the end of April at the Don Shot shooting range in the city of Brno.
There was a large international interest sparked by the debut at the IWA OutdoorClassics in Germany, but the company has chosen to prioritize Czech shooting enthusiasts for the initial release. The next production run will be dedicated to foreign markets, with domestic production set to resume in the first half of 2026.
There are no details about pricing, but if I remember correctly, the price was in the region of above €3,000.

We’re quite excited to read your comments about the Pistollo 77°, so let it rip.
