Hey guys. There is a neat pistol used by the Russian military called the MP-443 "Grach", also known as the "PYa" (Pistolet Yarygina):
Here is a video by Larry Vickers of Vickers Tactical describing the PYa:
I think it's quite nice. Interestingly it is chambered in the 9x19mm NATO cartridge. It was meant to replace the Makarov PM in service but from what I understand hasn't quite done so all the way. There are still many Makarov pistols in Russian police and military hands as we speak.
I wonder, with President Trump working to restore ties with Russia, with talks of possibly removing the Obama sanctions, it is an entertaining though to imagine that someday... perhaps in the near future, one of the old Russian export companies like the Kalashnikov concern might export this pistol? It would be very nice and appears to be a very cool little gun.
What are your thoughts on this? How would you like to own this Russian army gun?
