About
What it is, and why it matters
The POF-4 is a compact 9x19mm Parabellum semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Pakistan Ordnance Factories (Wah Industries Ltd) at Wah Cantonment, Pakistan. Marketed for sporting and personal protection alongside the larger POF-5, it is a semi-automatic ("irreversible") derivative of POF's roller-delayed blowback SMG line, with a 115 mm barrel, 345 mm overall length and a 15-round steel magazine. It ships with a universal carrying sling, spare magazines and cleaning kit.
Pakistan Ordnance Factories markets its domestically built 9mm pistols under a numbered POF series (including the POF-4 and POF-5) through its Wah Industries commercial arm, supplying both service and civilian markets in Pakistan.
Specifications are drawn from POF/Wah Industries' 2021 product catalogue: 9x19mm, ~375 m/s muzzle velocity, 15-round steel magazine, rigid front / rotary rear sights, 2.25 kg without magazine. It is the compact counterpart to the longer-barrelled POF-5 (225 mm barrel, 460 mm OAL). Year of introduction not published.
