The Viper pistol is a recent joint development between the
American Wildey Guns company and the Jordan King Abdullah Design and
Development Bureau (KADDB). Pistol was designed by the American citizen
Wildey Moore (designer of the famous Wildey pistol), and is now produced
in Jordan. Apparently this pistol will become the standard issue pistol
for Jordan Armed forces, hence the another designation - JAWS, or Jordan Arms & Weapons System.
Viper JAWS is a solid and well made pistol with several interesting features, such as simple and robust design and modular construction. VIPER pistol can be easily reconfigured for several pistol calibers simply by replacing the barrel, breech face insert, the extractor and the magazine. This reconfiguration, as well as a standard field-stripping procedure, requires no tools. Grip panels also can be easily replaced with another unit with different shape or dimensions.
Type: Double Action
Calibers: 9x19mm Luger/Parabellum; .40SW; .45ACP
Weight unloaded: n/a
Length: n/a
Barrel length: n/a
Capacity: ? rounds
Viper is a short recoil operated, locked breech pistol with rotating barrel. On recoil, barrel rotates to unlock from the slide, by following the curved track on the frame. The double action trigger with its linkage is easily accessible for maintenance and cleaning via removable side plate, inserted into the cut cat the right side of the frame from the top. The ambidextrous safety lever is located on both sides of the slide and also acts as a decocker when safety is engaged. Both front and rear sight are dovetailed into the slide and can be easily changed if required.

Just read the Connecticut Civil Court papers where Wildey J. Moore sued F.A. Investment Holdings LTD and he lost the suit. They not only bought Wildey out but forced him to sell his 49% of the shares and then fired him from his own company and locked him out of producing or selling any Wildey Survivor guns, parts or ammo. Wildey got mixed up the King Abdullah of Jordan on that Viper pistol, loaned Wildey over a million dollars to only produce the Viper and let the Wildey Survivor gun go to the wayside. Wildey made a deal with the devil and lost. He should have know better than to get mixed up with the likes of King Abdullah.
