Overview
The Radom VIS 100 is a Polish full-size semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, developed by Fabryka Broni Lucznik in Radom as a modern service sidearm for the Polish Armed Forces. It uses a short-recoil, locked-breech action with a hammer-fired double-action/single-action trigger, a polymer frame, and fully ambidextrous controls including a frame-mounted decocker, slide stop, and magazine release. Adopted in 2018, the VIS 100 revives the historic VIS pistol name and feeds from a 15-round detachable box magazine.

Background
The VIS 100 takes its name and the '100' designation from the 100th anniversary of Polish independence (1918-2018), reviving the lineage of the legendary pre-war wz. 35 Vis pistol produced at the same Radom arms factory.
