Our Assessment: Due to the popularity of the original Uzi submachine guns, it makes sense that clones and semi-auto versions would appear on the market. IMI-Israel capitalized on the infamy and admiration the Uzi’s received when they created their Uzi Model A. The guns IMI made in Israel are the same outstanding quality as the IMI submachine guns. The front sight of this Uzi Model A is the same original design for the UZI SMG, and fewer Model A’s were produced. Sure it feels like a brick in your hands, but you will build arm muscles and look cooler than 99% of the other people at the range with this gun in your hands. It’s a great looking piece that could make an excellent shooter or newest safe queen. So bid on this firearm and add it to your lineup! MF
