Notes: The CM-9 (Combat Master, 9mm) is a polymer-framed pistol designed for concealed carry and hard combat. It comes in two versions, a Commander-sized pistol with a 4.5-inch barrel and a compact model with a 3.8-inch barrel. The polymer frame has a MIL-STD-1913 rail molded into the dust cover. The trigger is double action, with a slide-mounted decocker, a slide stop, and a manual safety (also on the frame), and a passive trigger safety. (Trigger pull length is unfortunately a bit long.) Standard finish is matte black, but it also available with a satin silver finish for its steel slide. The hammer is a loop-type, low-profile hammer, and the sights are of the 3-dot type.

Notes: This pistol, based on the Italian Tanfoglio Force 99, is manufactured by Sarsilmaz in Turkey under license. Sarsilmaz has made few changes to the original design, adding extra cocking grooves to the front of the slide and adding an automatic firing pin safety. Sarsilmaz also manufactures this pistol in only one caliber. Sights are of the 3-dot type. Otherwise, it is basically the same polymer-frame pistol that the Tanfoglio Force 99 is.

A similar pistol, the V-8 Vatos, has a lightweight aluminum frame. The design is somewhat simplified over the basic Force 99/CZ-75, and a MIL-STD-1913 rail is under the dust cover.

Twilight 2000 Notes: This weapon is not available in the Twlight 2000 timeline.

Notes: The K-2 is a Commander-sized high-capacity pistol. A double-action pistol, the K-2 has a slide-mounted decocker as well as a manual safety. The trigger guard is squared for two-handed use, and the barrel length is slightly more than 4.5 inches. Construction is of forged steel, with a matte black finish and checkered plastic grip plates. The frontstrap and backstrap are also checkered. Sights are of the 3-dot type. It has a MIL-STD-1913 rail under the dust cover. A compact version, the K-2C, has a barrel length of about 3.7 inches, but uses the same high-capacity magazines.

Versions of both of these weapons are available for jurisdictions that restrict magazine capacity. These pistols, called the K-10 and K-10C, use 10-round magazines and cannot use the 15-round magazines of the K-2 and K-2C. They are not available in .45 ACP. Subtract $2 from the price of these pistols.

Notes: The Kilinc 2000 is considered one of the "best pistols you’ve never heard of" by one author; it is known for its excellent finish, and the quality of workmanship and fit of the parts. The Kilinc 2000 Premium is the full-sized model; it is built of chrome-molybdenum steel or stainless steel, and come is a myriad of finishes, from blued to engraved and gold-plated. The guide rails run the whole length of the slide, and extra pressure grooves have been added. The back of the grip has a long beavertail for extra comfort and to stop "hammer bite." The sights are three-dot.

The Kilinc 2000 Light is a version that is somewhat more lightly-built (but nonetheless excellent workmanship). The grip is a bit shorter, and an automatic firing pin safety has been added.

The Hancer is a compact version of the Kilinc 2000; it is smaller by almost 20 millimeters, yet the barrel is almost the same length. Sarsilmaz is said to have had assistance from the Czechs in the development of the Hancer.

Twilight 2000 Notes: None of these pistols exist.

Notes: One of the current Turkish military pistols, the Kanuni is also used by airport police and some private security agencies in Turkey. It has been manufactured since 1998, and unlike most Turkish firearms designs, the Kanuni is a more-or-less original design and not simply a modified copy of another pistol. The Kanuni uses a short-recoil locked breech system with a modified Browning locking system. The Kanuni has a double-action trigger with a slide-mounted safety/slide lock, as well as an automatic firing pin safety. The Kanuni 16 is the original design; the Kanuni S is a newer modification of the Kanuni with a shortened dust cover and a slightly lightened frame, and it is a little lighter than the Kanuni S. The sights for both are fixed, but the rear sight is dovetailed and can be exchanged for an alternate rear sight if desired.

Twilight 2000 Notes: These pistols do not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Notes: Like the Kanuni, the Zigana is one of the current Turkish military pistols, as well as being favored by several Turkish private security agencies. Like the Kanuni, it is an original design, not derivative of some other pistol. There are currently three versions of the Zigana. The Zigana M16, introduced in 2001, is the original design, and has a 126mm barrel and a short dust cover. The Zigana T is a slightly longer version, with a 130mm barrel, a heavier slide, and a longer dust cover. The Zigana Sport is similar to the Zigana T, but has a trigger adjustable for pull weight, different sights (though still fixed), a better-quality barrel, and is somewhat heavier. The Zigana K is a compact version with a 103mm barrel and a shortened version of the heavy slide employed by the Zigana T. The Zigana F is in between the Zigana M16 and Zigana K in size, with a 117mm barrel. The Zigana C45 is similar to the Zigana F in size, with a 119mm barrel, but is chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge.

All Ziganas use an operation similar to that of the Kanuni (but updated), have double-action triggers, slide-mounted safety/slide locks, automatic firing pin safeties, and fixed three-dot-type sights.

The Fatih 13 is essentially the same pistol as the Zigana, with the same operation – but built as compact pistols in smaller calibers. The Fatih 13-32 is chambered for .32 ACP, while the Fatih 13-380 is chambered for .380 ACP. Both use a smaller frame than the Zigana, but of a similar design, and have a 100mm barrel.

Notes: Like so many companies worldwide, TISAS makes it’s own iteration of the M-1911A1 pistol. The ZIG M/1911 is a very basic sort of 1911 clone, though the sights are of higher profile, as Turkish troops equipped with the M-1911A1 after World War 2 (like many troops who used the M-1911A1) felt that the sights of the original M-1911A1 were too small, especially in quick-shooting situations. The ZIG M/1911 otherwise looks like a standard World War 2-type M-1911A1, with a blued finish and checkered plastic grip plates, and a 5-inch barrel.

Notes: This pistol, recently put on the market by the Yavuz company, is very derivative of the Beretta M-92FS pistol, though with several differences both internal and external. It is designed for civilian, military, and police use, and is in fact in use by certain units of the Turkish military and police.

The Yavuz-16 uses sort of an amalgamation of the Beretta M-92FS operation and that of the Walther P-38. The basic version, the Regard, is externally very similar to the M-92FS, but has a cut-out forward slide that exposes part of the barrel and (when the slide reciprocates) the ejection port. The Regard also has an external extractor. The ejection port is lowered, and this along with the strong external extractor increase reliability. The Regard has an exposed hammer with a Commander-type loop shape. The trigger is double-action, and the safety/slide catch/decocker lever is ambidextrous. The magazine release is a button type at the base of the trigger guard. Barrel length is just short of 5 inches, and the sights are low-profile combat sights.

Slightly smaller is the Compact; this version uses a 4.33-inch barrel, but a nearly full-sized frame. The hammer is nearly shrouded, but exposed enough to allow the Compact to be thumb-cocked. The forward slide is also fully enclosed instead of open like that of the Regard. The Bora is even smaller, with a 4.17-inch barrel and somewhat lower-profile sights, though its construction is such that it is actually the heaviest of the Yavuz-16 series. It is otherwise identical to the Compact.

Twilight 2000 Notes: The Yavuz-16 is not available in the Twilight 2000 timeline.
