From the Vault: The UZI Pistol
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лип 2024
- Brownells Gun Tech™ Keith Ford shows us his rare Uzi Pistol. No, not the Uzi submachine gun or the Uzi Micro machine pistol, but the semi-auto Uzi PISTOL. Set your wayback machine to the early 1980s, when Action Arms was importing into the U.S. the Uzi Carbine, a semi-auto, 16" barreled version of the renowned IMI Uzi submachine gun. AA wanted to get into the handgun market and asked IMI to build a pistol variant, which entailed far more engineering than just shrinking the subgun. Keith field-strips his pistol to show us what's under the hood and how it works. His gun is chambered in .45 ACP, but caliber conversion kits were available, and Keith shows us how easy it is to switch his Uzi pistol to 9mm Luger.
In 1986, IMI decided to adapt the Uzi pistol for full-auto operation, and after adding a stock and some other accoutrements, the result is the select-fire Uzi Micro. Remember: Micro = select fire, Pistol = semi-auto. About 4,000 Uzi pistols were produced from 1984 to 1993. Much larger than most standard pistols and decidedly ungainly, the Uzi pistol wasn't a huge success. It's still one heckuva cool looking gun! Chuck Norris boosted his already substantial Badass Factor by carrying a pair of them in the 1985 movie "Invasion USA" (hint: do an image search for the movie's poster).

Keith, I want to thank you and everyone at Brownell's for all the support at a time when I really need it. Thank you so much.
💥😎U DESERVE IT RICH...UR A LEGEND 2 ME!👍🇺🇸 Been trying 2 get the word out on ALL the Channels I'm Subd to about your situation & 2 Help Out Any Way They Can! God Willing u Will Get Well Soon & be Cured...& may Your Beloved Mrs. Hoffman's Soul R.I.P.😞✌
Richard, it’s the very least I could do. I just wish I could do more. God bless and take care.
Stay strong Mr. Hoffman! you deserve the best
I'm sorry to hear, Mr, Hoffman. I bought one of your SMG spec semi UZI receivers. Loving every minuet of it!!!!
I have been pushing people towards your sight for years since my purchase.
Ever think of making the side sling swivel a QD version?? All that is needed is a slight thinning of the sheet metal of that area. Then ANY QD sling mount will work.
I'm the guy that came up with the idea of the "UZI pistol stock" on UZI Talk, which you immediately took as your own and now sell.. No loss on me. I'm just some guy, not a company that can make these. Over the years I have been a Muse for a few companies. The hundreds of thousands in ideas I have lost... LOL
My prayers for you and your Mrs, sir.
God bless.
Chuck Norris killed over 100k terrorists in "Invasion USA" firing these on full auto one-handed and had a 97% hit ratio.
Technically since he was shooting two of them he was shooting two handed. ;-)
Well, cuz he used the Infinite Ammo cheat code.
Its amazing to see the support for Richard Hoffman. He’s clearly been an important asset to this community.
I met Israel Galil at the IMI in Tel Aviv 1980, toured the factory and saw the first Galil that elongated in the middle to shoot round corners, crazy, he had a Gold plated Uzi with gold plated bullets in a glass case in his office.
I love uzis, had a toy when i was a kid in the philippines in the 80s. I had the walther uzi rifle 22lr, which was fun, but wanted the pistol version 22lr like that. I didn't know you can covert the 45 to a 9mm with a conversion kit. I learned something new. Thank you.
Thanks, Enjoyed, Been an UZI owner/user for decades. Have sent a pile of money to Brownell's over the past 25 years also. Have received good service and value. Later from Texas.
Man, whenever Keith shows up, i know I am going to see some cool shit! Well dont gents!
Nice to see a Richard getting support. Wish him the best 👍
I don’t know what I want more, that little Uzi or the Rolex GMT!
😃Good Point!
Add this Uzi pistol to your retro line!!!
I had one of these in early 2000s. I carried it daily in a Bible cover for few years.
Way fun gun.
Going to be honest, the only reason I bought one of these is due to caliber conversions. Many of my concerns have been addressed with the UZI Pro but I won’t bother with getting one because they don’t have caliber conversions. Problems: weight, stupid cocking sight on the top (real distraction) no grip protection for the front of the weapon.
Now the mini-Uzi was NICE!!! I loved the 19 inch barrel and magazines were interchangeable.
IWI screwed the pooch with the Pro and it’s proprietary magazine.
💥Thank u 4 sharing that Awesome Mini Uzi pistol! Very Kool!😎 And Kool of U 2 mention Richard Hoffman 💥😎HE DESERVES IT & IS A LEGEND 2 ME!👍🇺🇸 God Willing he will be Cured & may his beloved wife's Soul R.I.P. 😔✌
I'm amazed at two things, the huge size of the bolt, and the utter simplicity of the action.
A semiauto in 45acp is just perfect for me. That you can switch caliber so easily is fantastic.
The most popular uzi design
Always love the content!!!
A+
'Invasion USA' - the Chuckster never had to reload! He had two connected with a strap over his shoulders. He fired hundreds, no thousands of rounds without reloading! It was like the Duke and one of his magic 6-shooters.
😃😄😁😆😅🤣😂
Beautiful. Love it.
Love this channel hope you guys keep growing!
What a cool pistol. Classic.
Thanks for sharing Keith 👍👍
big regret getting rid on my 9mm in '89, fun piece , very reliable
I never knew how easy the uzi was to disassemble and how few parts there were in the system. Id say its somewhat modular to.
You should see a full auto UZI.
All those additional parts, that you see for the fireing pin, are not existing.
Whe n you field strip one, you have the barrel, the barrel nut, the complete bolt, the SPring with guide, the receiver cover and the receiver with attached fcg.
Even the FCG is so simple, first of all, the full auto comes before the sem auto, in the trigger pull.
So technically, if you could hold your fingers, despite the recoil, in the correct sweet spot, you could fire full auto with the selector on semi.
It's basically backwards to the Steyr AUG FCG.
The reason is, for the open bolt, you bnasically only pull the sear down with the trigger and you hold it down.
If you switch it to semi, you can pull the trigger a little bit further back, wich then causes the trigger connector to slip off the sear, which then will snap back up to catch the bolt again in the rearwards possition.
Hach, open bolt full autos are so simple in design.
Good job guys
Great video❤
Very interesting !! Richard is awesome too !!
Pistol, Micro Uzi, Mini Uzi, and Uzi.
The rich man's TEC-9.
So Brownells ya wanna bring back the Uzi? 😁
1,800 rounds a goddamn minute?! Holy smokes man!🤯
I have one, and the front line (Israel) holster for it, they are heavy and ungainly, with quite possibly the world's worst trigger, when that striker fires, as you heard in the video, it shakes the gun, despite its weight. Likewise, it's not really a arms length pistol, more like a point and shoot from the hip. They are really more of a collector piece than a shooter.
1:02 did you mean to say - just like the fully auto versions?
A quick mention and comparison to the IWI UZI Pro 9mm pistol could've been thrown in there. Internally, they're identical other than the .45 ACP conversion.
My Favorite Gun Of All Time 👍
I think it would add a lot to the from the vault videos to show a short segment of these guns shooting on the range.
What a cool gun.
It's so simple yet elegant!!!
You should put a link in the description to the BWE firearms channel. It would probably increase the engagement.
I wish I bought one of these. I did buy the IMI Uzi Carbine. The 1986 machinegun ban stopped be from getting it converted to full auto. I did manage to pick up a transferable HK MP5SD submachine gun in 1988, which I still have. I paid $4,000 for it. Did a make a good investment?
I also have a Cobray M11/9 submachine gun that fires 1200 Rds/min. On sustained full auto, after the first 2-3 rounds hit the target it turns into an anti-aircraft gun.
That HK was a horrible investment, tell you what, since Im such a nice guy I’d be willing to give you the $4,000 for it so you could at least break even 😉
Perfect example of Old School Beauty
I will have one. Someday ..
I know Cobray has a spin off of this that is the M11/9 it is a 9mm semi automatic. And not only a pistol but a combine also
Hello - nice gun you have there! Is that crooked trigger guard exclusive to the pistols? Or were micros also made with that same crooked trigger guard, rather than the rounded one you also see? Thanks!
PLEASE explain the trigger guard differences with these pistols. As in WHY?
Cool cowboy
Question?
Does IWI make a 5.7x28 version?
If NOT
Time to make 1!
Nice
Always wished I would've bought the Mini Uzi which was between the full sized SMG and the Micro.
The Uzi Pistols trigger was horrendous and the slamming of the striker group would throw your shots way the heck off.
THANKS
I❤ the uzi
Blessings on blessings
They used to sell these at Payless Drug Stores.
Como convertir una pistola uzi de semi automática a full automática???.
Sweet Rolex GMT. Not sure what it is, but fun guys are often watch guys too :)
Cool. I always wanted one cuz Chuck Norris.
I just inherited one of these when my stepdad passed. Not sure what I want to do with it. I don't see it being much else except a safe queen.
I have the water pistol version... :)
I have a cool 3D animation about UZI.
The channel also has a lot of content about various weapons
I am a Subscriber of your channel and I love it!!! 😀
This gun is used in a lot of gang movies, such as Colors.
Slept on one of these about 15 years ago. 🤦♂️
But where do i get a 1800 round mag. 😀
They made the original UZI bolt telescopic (and large/heavy), because it's straight blowback and 9mm is too powerful of a round to be straight blowback (without a heavy bolt)... but then they came out with the pistol that has a much, much smaller, lighter bolt (that's also straight blowback with no locking system)... so I'm just wondering why they needed to make the original UZI bolt so large and heavy. (Another example is the Hi-point pistols. I believe they are all straight blowback also, which is why they are so large and bulky... and the bolts aren't even solid steel if I'm not mistaken). Also, with the UZI being an "open bolt" design (originally), wouldn't the heave bolt slamming forward to fire make the gun harder to aim and control? Sorry for the rant. Would appreciate hearing other people's info and opinions.
Amazing. Did they produce the Micro in .45 ACP? I wouldn’t want anything to do with that 👺 if they did. Yes, I’ll check your buddy’s channel. Sounds like a good guy to me.
Yes they did but I think it was mainly a conversation kits from what ive seen
is Keith Ford related to Caleb?
For those who only play video games, this gun is much bigger in real life.
Your Hairz almost as meet as Calebz
Still prefer the MP5, but cool weapon.
Ehhh the vector has taken its place and rightfully so .
Besides being striker fired very similar to the .45 acp grease gun.
.45 acp "grease gun" is a hoot to shoot ! Love that slow full auto clunk feeling
I'll give ya 10 BUX and a case of cheap beer for that shootin iron !!🍺 😎 👍
It’s a stick up blick up
Yeet!
I don't want to even know what that's worth.
He looks like a 90 yo kid who held a gun for the first time.
His real name Was Israel Balatchnikov.
This video has been blacked out by “UA-cam“😡
I feel like I was groomed to own one being a '80s baby having one as a toy water guns from the ice cream trucks.. I wish I could afford to have the real thing :(
Always wanted a .45 Uzi.
💖💖💖💖💖
Can't give it a 👍 not sure what is up.
J Ihave ae gream
🙂👍☕
broo uzi is a smg not PISTOL
Considered a semi auto pistol.
yeah well this one literally has "pistol" stamped on the side of the gun
If you snoozi you get the uzi
@ Close range... (The Micro UZI, First makes you woozi, Then.. PERMANENT " Snoozi " ! When I was a Younger Man, I lived in Miami. ( I started collecting guns Early ) @ 16 ! SP-1, The FIRST AR ! Valmet M 76 Mini 14's & Chinese Underfolders, (& Not Soo great ) Unless stamped W/ a Triangle w/ 66 inside.. [ Military factory] & the gettin was Good ! But Miami in the early 80's , Was Beyond ridiculous. ( Just pre DEA, ) & the Coast guard had INCREDIBLY SLOW Diesel 'Cutters' & "The Narcos" W/Various "Fast Boats" Cigarette, Apache, Donzi. ALL Manfactured by the same principle owner/Designer. Don Aranaw. Who, of course was Murdered by Carlos Lehder. Because, The DEA ask Don to "Make the Fastest/Best boat Ever ! ( Blue Thunder ) he refused. But like ALL Agencies, they had a "Control file" on him, = [ Life in Prison ] So he built it. & was Murdered, Gangland style, at Fort Appache. Remember ANY Semi ( Pre 86 ) could be converted into FA, w/ Correct paperwork. Countless Thousands, ( Were Not ) @ night I would hear F/A. Gunfire, The LEO's & paramedics would show up. Zero Sirens ! Ooh, Didn't want to Scare away Tourist ! It was INSANE ! I got married & Moved ! Sorry for the long rant ! ( I saw UZI) & it triggered memories...
Hey, Look !! The same 1 "Thumbs up" from an Agency... (( That Shadowbanns apparently ALL )) Thanks ! After all I've done for you, & This Once FREE Country.
Back the Fuck off, OSI. THE Controll file on you, & Way ABOVE you is Lengadary. & This point, I WILL NOT STOP (( This, fractalised ANALOG & Digital file.)) You've gone Way too far. TRY ME !
Free Palestine
And now the gangsters just need a switch for their glocks.
Aaah, NO !! REALLY ? You want a bunch of Punk ass, Gamers, Who throw around the word, " Gansta " To have Full auto Glocks ? Are you... OK ? Or, are YOU "THAT" ? (( A Braindead, Souless, Criminal ?? )) I'm In the, $$'s No object SECURITY BUSINESS. ( You CAN. "think" you found me. ) But if you ever do... Let's Party !! (( Fun for me ! ))
Absolutely worthless along with the mini and Micro Uzis.
Still more useful than any of your comments, Bob.
I had one of these in early 2000s. I carried it daily in a Bible cover for few years.
Way fun gun.
