Description of Jorge's pistol
The pistol first appeared on the domestic market 8 years ago and immediately gained particular popularity among fans of traumatic weapons. Gunsmiths and shooting enthusiasts immediately began raking the pistol off the shelves. When shooting, you can smell gunpowder and feel the recoil.
Externally, the pistol is not considered attractive. It's all due to his angularity. But this is before you try it in action. On the left side of the weapon there are standard “keys” for control. There is a classic safety, as well as a slide stop above the trigger.
Jorge, Jorge-1, Jorge-3
Jorge
Jorge's traumatic pistol is certified in Russia as a gas pistol with the ability to fire rubber bullet cartridges.
Jorge appeared on the domestic market of self-defense weapons in 2006. The pistol is made on the basis of the Ukrainian traumatic pistol Fort-12R, which in turn was created on the basis of the combat Fort-12. Jorge's pistols are assembled at the Klimovsky Specialized Cartridge Fort. Stamps are also applied in Klimovsk. Jorge's traumatic pistol is almost entirely made of steel: frame, barrel, bolt housing, trigger mechanism,... The only exception is the handle cheeks, among which there are plastic and wooden ones.
Jorge is built on the basis of automatic blowback. Designed for the use of 9 PA caliber cartridges. The trigger mechanism (trigger mechanism) is double-action, allowing firing both self-cocking and from a pre-cocked hammer. The return spring is located under the barrel, the trigger is open. The barrel of Jorge's pistol is securely secured to the frame using four pins.
All controls for Jorge's traumatic pistol are located on the left side of the pistol and are designed for right-handed use. The non-automatic fuse is a flag safety, located on the shutter, the upper position is on, the lower position is off. The magazine is ejected from the shaft by pressing a button at the base of the trigger guard.
Food is supplied from magazines with a limiter capacity of 10 rounds. When the limiter is removed, the magazine capacity increases to 14 rounds. The sights are open, with white dots on them for easy aiming.
Tactical and technical characteristics: Caliber: 9 PA Dimensions (LxHxW): 180x131x32 mm Barrel length: 95 mm Weight without cartridges: 830 g Magazine capacity: 10 (14) cartridges
Jorge-1
The Jorge-1 traumatic pistol appeared on the domestic market of self-defense weapons a little later than the Jorge pistol. Jorge-1 also has a Ukrainian traumatic analogue, on the basis of which it was made - the Fort-17R pistol, which in turn is a modification of the combat Fort-17. Pistols are also assembled at KSPZ from components from NPO Fort.
There are few differences between the Jorge and Jorge-1 pistols. Jorge-1 has a frame made of impact-resistant plastic, but with a steel base. As a result, the weight of the pistol with an empty magazine was reduced by 200 grams: from 830 to 630. The handle and trigger guard also received a more convenient shape.
Otherwise, Jorge-1 repeats Jorge.

Jorge-3 and Jorge-3 “Sport”
In the fall of 2010, at the exhibition “Weapons and Hunting 2010”, the KSPZ company presented new products - the Jorge-3 and Jorge-3 “Sport” pistols.
According to the manufacturer, Jorge-3 is the result of a modernization of the Jorge-1 pistol, as a result of which the new traumatic pistol acquired “a Picatinny rail and a more modern design.” However, in general this turned out not to be the case. Since the fall of 2007, a traumatic pistol, specially adapted to domestic legislation, Fort-17T, which is very similar to the new Jorge-3 pistol from KSPZ, has been directly imported into Russia. Small differences are noticeable only in the shapes of the shutters and the notches on them. In addition, it is known that some batches of Jorge-1 pistols were produced with Picatinny-type rails.
Traumatic pistol Fort-17T
There are no design differences between Jorge-3 and Jorge-1. However, an interesting fact is that all technological operations for the production of Jorge-3 are carried out at KSPZ, including casting. Previously, as we remember, only the assembly of weapons was carried out at the Klimov enterprise.
Another new product from KSPZ is the Jorge-3 “Sport” pistol. It is a Jorge-3 pistol, adapted for shooting for sporting purposes. The Jorge-3 "Sport" has an extended barrel and muzzle brake, as well as a stainless steel bolt.

Trunks
Special attention should be paid to the barrels of Jorge's pistols.
Unlike their smooth-bore Ukrainian “colleagues” (Fort-12R and Fort-17R pistols), all variants of Jorge pistol barrels have obstacles in order to meet the forensic requirements of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. These barriers in the bore should prevent a solid object from being fired from a pistol, and a rubber bullet passes through them due to its elastic deformation. The lower barrier is closer to the chamber, the upper one is closer to the muzzle. In total, there are three modifications of the barrels of the Jorge pistols, Jorge-1 and Jorge-3. Conventionally (at the suggestion of Internet communities and forums) they are designated as Mk.1, Mk.2 and Mk.2+.
The Mk.1 barrel was produced at NPO Fort and supplied to Russia along with other pistol parts for subsequent assembly. Installed on Jorge and Jorge-1. Easily distinguished from other versions by the trapezoidal barriers in the bore.
Mk.2 - a barrel of KSPZ’s own design, installed since August 2007 on Jorge and Jorge-1. It differs from the Mk.1 in the shape of the barriers in the barrel, which have become horizontal. Barrel diameter - 11.8 mm.
Mk.2+ is the latest version of barrels from KSPZ, installed on Jorge and Jorge-1, and will also be installed on the new Jorge-3 and Jorge-3 “Sport”. Unlike the Mk.2, the clearance between the barriers was increased, and the barrel diameter increased to 12.5 mm.
The latest versions of Jorge pistol barrels allow firing of almost the entire range of 9 PA caliber ammunition

How to Modify a Traumatic Jorge
- We remove the bolt casing and see a perfectly made stainless steel barrel without nicks or bends. You can remove the rivets and install a new fighting barrel, but this is punishable by law!
- You can independently adjust the pistol to your hand by changing the grips. You can sand any part of the trigger mechanism if it seems tight.
- The pistol has 10 rounds, but you can increase the magazine to 14, but this is already contrary to the law of the Russian Federation. We don't think you'll risk it to add 4 rounds.
- You can also sand the barrel and chamber. You just need to do everything very carefully. After polishing, any weapon is easy to clean.
- If the pistol has a polymer frame, you can mount a tactical flashlight.
Owner reviews
“Jorge, in my opinion, the gun is quite successful. Has good ergonomics. Very good workmanship. Of the obvious disadvantages, the barrel made in Ukraine is very weak, both in power and in quality. The barrel that is currently on my pistol made by KSPZ (I sent it for re-barrel after the old one blew slightly) is very good in quality. The downside of the barrel is that out of the box, just like the previous one, it does not have enough power, although it is a little more powerful. The overall quality of the barrel processing is high. Now, after the “teeth” in it were reduced by me, it began to meet modern requirements. If we immediately made a pistol with a so-called 2nd generation barrel, then Jorge, in my opinion, would be the best traumatic pistol in Russia. His resource is simply enormous. There was a break in the trigger spring in the spring. But this, in general, did not scare me, since I made it in half an hour with three smoke breaks from the thickest guitar string. By the way, if this spring breaks during shooting, just turn the pistol upside down and you can continue shooting. Verified. The bluing could have been done better and more durable. But this, in my opinion, is not critical. Another minus is that if a pistol with the safety lever falls to the floor with the muzzle down and hits the bolt, the bolt will jam. In this case, it is enough to lightly tap, say with a mechanic's hammer, on the fuse from top to bottom. Well, or, as an option, through the shutter at the back, through a wooden block. In terms of shooting accuracy, the pistol performed just as well, both with single shots and at a high tempo with “twos.” Moreover, when shooting in doubles at a very high tempo, the second bullet lands very close (in my case 2-5 cm) from the first, although I can’t boast that I train often. This is achieved thanks to a correctly located center of mass. The distance is, of course, “self-defense”, i.e. 3-3.5 meters. An obvious plus is the magazine for 14 (KSPZ), 15 (Fort-12) rounds. I can't say anything bad about reliability. During the time I have had the pistol (since the summer of 2007), it has never failed. Not a single wedge or failure to feed due to the pistol’s fault. The total number of rounds fired so far is 1243. I carry Jorge’s pistol constantly, as my main self-defense weapon. I really love this gun." Fedor fedor.guns.ru
“It’s an excellent machine, that’s why it’s been my main one for 3 years now. Reliability is excellent, throughout the entire time there has not been a single misfire, undershoot, etc. The barrel is a separate issue, although it has very few blows. Fits perfectly in the hand. The plastic version is worse due to the center of gravity shifted upward. The next one, I hope, will be Jorge, but with a new Mk3 barrel. The quality is also at its best, unlike the Makarychis. The design is convenient and well thought out for disassembly, more complex than the PM, but much better than the same T10. In T10, the pins in plastic hold even with frequent disassembly, but with regular shooting this is inevitable; they will quickly become loose. Jorge's design is quite reliable in my opinion. The safety does not release the trigger; you have to press the trigger while holding the trigger with your thumb, moving it to the lowered position. The firing pin is spring-loaded, and this adds peace of mind when carrying a cartridge in the chamber.” DiMaster.guns.ru
Jorge's traumatic pistol
“Jorge should only be taken with a Mk 2 barrel. Well suited for daily carry - compact, light, flat, completely reliable, power and accuracy acceptable after a little effort. It is brought to mind easily and simply, spare parts are not expensive. It is inferior in power to T10, Inna and Groza-05 (the last two are insignificant), works with any ammunition (TK, AKBS, KSPZ). Prefers Magnum AKBS (average accuracy with acceptable power). It’s also suitable for post-shooting, the “Sport” AKBS has excellent accuracy. On the Magnum, 90-100% hits a 10x10cm circle from 5-7 meters, 10-12 at 30x30cm, and 17-20 at a height target.” DIV_Guns.guns.ru
“I met Jorge at the end of 2006, looked at it, shot... It’s good for everyone: convenient, well made, more accurate (compared to IZH79), convenient sighting, magazine capacity 15 rounds... But... The barrel design is the same as on IZH79 and significant We couldn’t expect any increase in power from it (we don’t take barrel filing into account). I turned it over in my hands and decided to hold off for now, and as it turned out it was absolutely right. But when, in 2007, barrels produced by the Klimovsky plant began to be installed on some batches, then interest awoke again. The increase in power was noticeable and as a result, Jorge was purchased with a Klimovsky barrel. Well, what can you tell about it... An almost problem-free pistol that does not require a file, fine-tuning and other dances with a tambourine... I shot everything that was on sale at that time, KSPZ 30-50 J, AKBS 50J... Then the KSPZ 80J, AKBS Magnum appeared ... I shot quite a lot, I can’t say for sure, but definitely more than 5,000 shots. There are of course some peculiarities. For example, I strongly do not recommend using a fuse. The fact is that if you accidentally or not accidentally poke the barrel into something with the safety on, then there is a very high probability of getting a bolt wedge. That is, the shutter moves a few millimeters back and jams in this position. It can be treated by hitting the back of the bolt. The sights are quite large (compared to the IZH79) and comfortable - there are white dots on the rear sight and front sight. True, on mine they are far from white, but they can be refreshed - this is not a problem. In general, the ergonomics of the pistol are excellent, size, weight, ease of holding. There are no complaints about anything. I have no. Although many complain about the inconvenience of wearing due to its large size and considerable weight. Nowadays I see them on sale less and less often. Jorge was replaced by Thunderstorm pistols from TECHNOARMS, the design is the same, only different barrels and new modifications appeared.” sergii-guns-ru
Reviews from pistol owners
We decided to find out what the real owners of this weapon think about the Jorge traumatic pistol; we are publishing reviews from the owners for you.
Stas M. “A very successful pistol, in my opinion. Excellent ergonomics. Made of very high quality. There is one drawback - this is the barrel, or rather its power and quality. But in general, the quality of the weapon is high. If a second-generation barrel had been immediately installed on the pistol, Jorge would have been the best “trauma” in the Russian Federation. This is a weapon with excellent characteristics and resource. The spring may break, but you can make a new one from a string. If the spring breaks, I turn the gun upside down and continue shooting. I checked it myself! I would also like to note the excellent accuracy of shooting! The bullets land 1-2 cm apart.”
Sergey K. “Great stuff. I've been using it for three years now. Reliable and powerful! Not a single misfire during the entire period of use. The barrel is quite strong and fits perfectly in the hand. I just don’t recommend purchasing the plastic version - the center of gravity shifts. The pistol has a convenient and well-thought-out design. In terms of ease of use, it is not inferior to the Makarov pistol.”
