The ALFA Combat is a Czech-made semi-automatic pistol created for military, Law enforcement, and Sport shooting purposes. There are two different series of Pistols made by ALFA, the Combat series and Defender Series.

Overview

The gun is self-loading, with a polymer material frame. The breech locks in vertical movement of the barrel and the action cycle drive is controlled with a short recoil of the back blow assembly. The pistol uses Browning-type breech locking system. The trigger and striker mechanisms are designed with the minimum number of parts to allow also field disassembly for emergency cleaning.

It works in both the single- and double-action modes being equipped with a manual safety lock. The arm is equipped with a striker lock designed to allow permanent carrying of a cartridge loaded in the cartridge chamber having the gun always ready-for-use. The high precision permits use of the gun for centre fire shooting sports disciplines. The three effective bores and two size versions offer a selection for a policeman as well as a sports shooter.
