Quick answer

The IJ-70 is a compact semi-automatic handgun chambered in .380 ACP. It is often one of the first firearms a survivor finds because both the pistol and its ammunition are commonly found around towns and villages. While its stopping power is low, it is easy to control, lightweight, and useful as an early close-range defensive weapon.
