Also known as: Zigana K
Overview
The Tisas Zigana K is a semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, manufactured by the Trabzon Gun Industry Corporation of Turkey. A full-size, hammer-fired handgun, it employs a traditional double-action / single-action (DA/SA) trigger system, allowing the first shot to be fired with a long double-action pull and subsequent shots in single action. Built on a polymer frame with an integral accessory rail, the Zigana K pairs a steel slide and barrel with ambidextrous controls, three-dot sights, and a loaded chamber indicator. Its 15-round double-stack magazine and 4.15-inch barrel place it among affordable, service-size defensive pistols, and it has earned a reputation as a budget-friendly imported option in the civilian market. The design draws on Tisas's long experience producing both clones of established Western handguns and its own Zigana line of striker- and hammer-fired pistols, offering a dependable, no-frills platform aimed at value-conscious shooters seeking a reliable everyday handgun.
