Darra Adam Khel
A town of gunmakers.
For generations, Darra Adam Khel in Kohat District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has been known for its gunsmiths and its arms market.
History
Craft passed down through families
Darra Adam Khel lies on the road between Peshawar and Kohat. Its workshops built a reputation for hand-made firearms, and the skills of gunsmithing — filing, fitting, finishing and test-firing — have passed from one generation to the next.
Today the town is home to small workshops and arms dealers side by side. Locally made pistols, especially TT-pattern .30 bore models, sit alongside imported handguns and rifles.

What to know when choosing
Locally made
Usually more affordable. Quality varies from maker to maker, which is why handling the firearm and checking its finish and function matters.
Imported
Factory-made models from established brands, typically at higher prices, with consistent parts and finish.
Calibre
.30 bore (7.62×25 mm) and 9mm are the most common handgun calibres. Check which your licence covers.
