Quick answer

The P1 is a compact semi-automatic handgun chambered in 9x19mm. It is a respectable early-game pistol with more stopping power than the IJ-70, but its 8-round magazine gives it less capacity than other 9x19mm handguns like the CR-75 and Mlock-91. Its best role is as a simple close-range sidearm, especially when paired with a Plastic Bottle Suppressor.
