Overview
The MKEK Yavuz is a 9×19mm Parabellum semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Turkey's state-owned Makina ve Kimya Endüstrisi Kurumu (MKEK). It is based on the Beretta 92 design under a licensing and technology transfer agreement. Standard issue to Turkish military officers, non-commissioned officers, and police. The Yavuz 16 compact variant serves as a concealed carry and plainclothes service pistol. It fires standard 9mm NATO ammunition and accepts 15-round magazines. As Turkey's primary issued sidearm, it reduces dependency on foreign-manufactured pistols for the armed forces.
