The AR-24 is a semi-automatic pistol chambered for the 9 mm Luger Parabellum round. It is manufactured at the "Nargileci Sk Sarsilmaz" factory in Turkey under contract by the Armalite corporation.

The weapon is similar to the Tanfoglio variant of the Czech CZ-75, with design elements borrowed from the Sig Sauer P210, though few of its parts are interchangable with the Tanfoglio weapon from whose machining dies and blue prints it was derived. It has a hot forged steel frame mated to a heavy milled slide treated with Manganese Phosphate, and coated in heat-cured epoxy.

The AR-24/15 "Standard" model has a parkerized finish and fixed dovetailed rear sights and a proprietary front sight with three white paint dots.

The AR-24/15C "Target Custom" Model has checkering machined on the front and back grip straps and its rear notch sight is adjustable for windage.

The AR-24K/13 "Compact" and AR-24K/13C "Compact Target Custom" are like the full-sized variants, differing only in their shorter barrels, grips, and amount of ammunition carried.
