DefenseReview (DR) recently saw some photos of the Cobalt (blue) Cerakote variant of the Fabryka Broni (FB) VIS-100 M1 high-capacity 9mm Parabellum/9x19mm pistol, and it really caught our attention. Normally we like our pistols like a lot of people like their coffee, or like the Kardashian sisters like their men. Black. However, in this particularly case, the Cobalt Cerakoted version looks pretty cool, and the pistol as a whole is visually appealing.
Anyway, once we were inititially intrigued by the color, we started looking at the pistol’s features and specs, and they look pretty solid. Basically, the VIS-100 M1 pistol is an upgraded commercial version of the Polish military’s VIS-100 pistol.
The following comes to us from the Arms of America Military Imports web page on it:

Now, Defense Review has absolutely no idea how this pistol actually shoots/performs. It just looks interesting to us, and Poland’s known for making interesting and high-quality combat/tactical firearms, so we thought we’d do a quick heads-up piece on it.
