SAK-10
Notes: This is perhaps the first time I’ve heard of a handgun designed to be carried on a keychain. The SAK-10 is a miniature single-shot pistol firing small-caliber ammunition designed for self-defense. It is meant to be carried easily in a pocket; indeed, a lanyard chain and a ring for attachment to a keychain are provided. It is not the smallest such handgun ever devised, but at 73.5x19.5x43mm, it is quite a small package. (A version with a longer barrel is also available.) The barrel of the weapon is surprisingly long for the small size of the pistol. The trigger is deliberately set to require a hard, deliberate pull to fire the weapon; in addition, there is a manual safety level. There is no magazine, but there is space in the rear of the weapon for two extra rounds. The 9mm Gas round requires a little explanation: for civilian use, it fires a jet of pepper or tear gas, but military, government, and police users can also get tranquilizer gas.

Sako Tri-Ace
Notes: The Tri-Ace is a match pistol designed for use in rapid-fire sporting events. The name arises from its adaptor kit, which allows for the use of .22 Short, .22 Long Rifle, or .32 Smith & Wesson Long ammunition. The Tri-Ace has an adjustable micrometer rear sight and an anatomical grip with an adjustable hand rest. Manufacture of the Tri-Ace stopped in 1998.
