Overview
The FB PR-15 Ragun is a Polish full-size semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, developed by Fabryka Broni Lucznik - Radom to replace the WIST-94 in Polish military service. It uses a Browning-type short-recoil, tilting-barrel action with an external hammer and fully ambidextrous controls, feeding from 15-round detachable box magazines. Its aluminium-alloy frame carries a MIL-STD-1913 accessory rail. Adopted in 2018 and renamed VIS 100, honoring the pre-war FB Vis pistol and the centenary of Polish independence.

Notes
The name PR-15 derives from Pistolet Radom and the 2015 pattern year; Ragun is a portmanteau of Radom and gun. Renamed VIS 100 upon adoption; the export variant is marketed as the VIS 100 M1.
Background
Its VIS 100 name deliberately links the modern pistol to the legendary WWII-era FB Vis (wz. 35) while marking one hundred years of Poland regaining independence, positioning it as the spiritual successor to one of the finest service pistols of its era.
