Description
There's a reason the roller-delayed action has stuck around for more than fifty years. It cycles smooth, soaks up recoil in a way straight blowback guns just can't, and it keeps running long after lesser designs give up. The Century Arms AP5-P Navy takes that proven system and packs it into the compact K-pattern format, dressed in classic Naval-variant styling with the ambidextrous polymer grip frame that made the original famous with maritime units in the 1980s.
Built by MKE, True to the Original
These pistols come out of the MKE factory in Turkey, where they've been producing this platform for police and military contracts for decades using original tooling and equipment. That heritage shows up in the details: a stamped steel receiver finished in black lacquer over manganese phosphate, a paddle magazine release, and a cold hammer forged 5.8 inch barrel that will outlast most owners. The adjustable rear diopter sight paired with a fixed front post gives you that unmistakable sight picture, and the included claw-mount Picatinny rail lets you drop a red dot on top without hunting down aftermarket parts.
Suppressor-Ready AP5-P Navy Muzzle Setup
The muzzle is where this Navy variant earns its keep. You get 1/2×28 threading for direct-thread cans plus a 3-lug interface for quick-detach tri-lug suppressors, so you're covered no matter which route you go. A flash hider comes in the box if you'd rather run it bare. At 13.7 inches overall and 4.6 pounds, it stays maneuverable whether you're working a range drill or just enjoying one of the most satisfying 9mm actions ever designed.
Why the AP5-P Navy Keeps Selling Out
Between the massive parts and accessory ecosystem, the two included 30-round magazines, and build quality that punches well above its price class, this is the roller-delayed 9mm most people end up wishing they'd bought sooner. It's a faithful take on an icon, ready to run the day it arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who makes the Century Arms AP5-P Navy and how close is it to the original?
It's manufactured by MKE in Turkey and imported by Century Arms. MKE has been building this platform for police and military contracts for decades on original tooling and equipment, so the fit, roller-delayed action, and stamped receiver construction are true to the classic design. Most aftermarket parts and magazines made for this pattern will fit.
Can I run a suppressor on the AP5-P Navy?
Yes, and you have two options. The 5.8 inch cold hammer forged barrel is threaded 1/2×28 for direct-thread suppressors and also has a 3-lug interface for quick-detach tri-lug cans. A flash hider is included if you want to shoot it without a suppressor attached.
How do I mount a red dot on the AP5-P Navy?
A claw-mount Picatinny rail comes in the box, so you can clamp it to the receiver and mount any Picatinny-compatible optic without buying anything extra. If you'd rather stick with irons, the adjustable rear diopter and fixed front post give you the classic sight picture this platform is known for.
What makes roller-delayed blowback better than regular blowback in a 9mm pistol like this?
Straight blowback guns rely on a heavy bolt slamming back and forth, which adds felt recoil and bolt slap. The roller-delayed system uses rollers to slow the bolt's opening, which spreads the recoil impulse out and makes the gun noticeably smoother and flatter shooting. It's a big part of why this design has stayed relevant for over fifty years.
