Mendoza PM-1 is a series of handguns that includes two models of pistols manufactured in Mexico by Productos Mendoza: The MXIK (pronounced as "meh-shee-kah") in .380 ACP caliber and the AZTK (pronounced as "az-teh-kah") in 9mm caliber.
Productos Mendoza began working on the design of this weapon in 2014, seeking to create a light and high-strength handgun.
[3] Its first physical appearances began in 2018 in different exhibitions, the following year being in which it would begin its sale to the public.
It has a metal slide, which, like the bolt and barrel of the weapon, is subjected to Tenifer QPQ treatment, which improves its surface hardness and resistance to oxidation and corrosion, also allowing a less gloss finish to avoid discomfort when shooting.
[1][5][6] Additionally, the weapon has a supply "witness" bolt on the slide, which rises when there is a cartridge in the chamber.
