New Pistol Out of Russia

[Ovechtrick]

Has anybody seen the new Russian pistol being developed? Looks to be pretty nice. The full specs & price aren't available as of yet, but I will keep my eyes posted.

I'd buy one, if the price isn't too high.

Very interesting, thanks for finding this and posting. Probably two years before we can get them here in MD, but I plan on giving them a look when they do.

Isn't it still illegal to import handguns from Russia? They already have some nice pistols with the mp443 & 446, which we can't import.

Looks like if a Walther(frame) had a baby with an xd or glock(frame), the 92fs magazine would be the result

 

[fivepointstar]

it does look like an xd frame!!!i'm interested to see how it shoots

Xorosho!

Did anyone else notice that at 26 seconds in when they show the pistol up close, the front sight is nearly out of the dovetail to the left side of the slide???

I'd still take that over that freak of nature 1911 any day though...

I know that it was done for weight purposes, but that slab missing from the slide just makes it look so unbalanced to me. I'd get it for the operation of the thing, most definitely not the look of it...

I also noticed the front sight and thought WTF? Did it slide over during shooting or did he adjust it that way??

From looking at the video I would assume that particular demo gun had likely already been shot enough before going on camera that any front sight walk would have been picked up on and fixed. I would guess the factory guy showing it off would have shot it some at a minimum to look for any bugs before going on camera with it. I think it's more likely the sight was drifted that far far over to achieve zero. Either way it speaks to the machining quality of the gun. It would be a nice novelty to have but like a lot of Russian things I think it will end up another innovative idea poorly executed in manufacture.

Best view of that front site is at 1:01.
And price will be an important point to determining sales.

Shame they are not making it in 45 ACP.

 

[tcolt45]

Looks pretty good.

Think I'd pass on it.

I would love to shoot this thing. I don't care if it ends up being junk, or amazing. It's a new gun I haven't shot. My quest in life is to shoot everything I can. Why the troll post up there? If you don't like it, just pretend it's not there. Not everything has to be hand fitted. Keep reminding everyone you only buy hand fitted pistols, it makes us think you are super cool. Mass produced pistols are perfectly fine. Ever shot a Glock? Hk? Sig? Colt? WC? SA? S&W? Should I keep going?

If you wanna make crazy statements, become the POTUS.

You'll never see it in the US. The trade agreement with Russia bans firearms exports to the US.
