🔫 The compact Hi-Capa — easier to holster, easier in CQB, same trigger and same magazine platform as the full-size range. The 3.8 Pro is the right pick if you want a Hi-Capa that actually fits a concealment holster or simply carries lighter throughout a long day.

The Hi-Capa platform built its reputation on the 5.1 — but the 3.8 Pro proves that shorter doesn't mean lesser. You get the same full-metal slide and crisp blowback cycle, the same standard Hi-Capa / 2011 magazine compatibility, the same adjustable hop-up, and the same upgrade path as the longer models. What changes is the overall length: at 3.8" of outer barrel, the pistol is meaningfully more compact to carry and holster without any sacrifice to the fundamentals.

For players who use their pistol as a true sidearm — kept holstered until a primary runs dry or a close-range situation demands it — the 3.8 Pro's lighter carry weight and easier draw are genuine practical advantages. It also handles well one-handed if a support hand is occupied. Available in 14 colour options from classic solid finishes to dual-tone combinations.

Common questions

UKARA: All realistic imitation firearms require UKARA or a valid defence. We verify at checkout. To register: play 3 games over 56+ days at Skirmish Wycombe Airsoft.

Magazine compatibility: All Vorsk Hi-Capa pistols use the standard Hi-Capa / 2011 platform — cross-compatible with TM, Army Armament and other Hi-Capa brands, across the entire 3.8 Pro, 4.3, 5.1, 5.1S, 7.0 TITAN and CS Vengeance range.

HPA conversion: Yes — pair with the AirTac Hi-Capa to M4 HPA adapter for consistent FPS output in cold UK conditions.

CO2: Works but accelerates internal wear. Use a CO2-rated magazine and replace O-rings regularly if you go that route.

🔧 Titan Forge Airsoft tip: If the 4.3 or 5.1 feel too bulky for what you need from a sidearm, the 3.8 Pro is the answer. Same platform, shorter carry. All colours use the same internals — choose based on your loadout aesthetic.
