qsy-complains-a-lot:Pistolet Makarova Designed by Nikolay Makarov c.1948, manufactured by IZHMEKH in the USSR/Russia - serial number AR3389.9x18mm 8-round removable box magazine, blowback semi-automatic, layout vaguely inspired by Walther’s police pistol.After WW2 and the introduction of assault rifles as the main infantry weapon, the USSR looked to make sidearms smaller and more practical than the old chunky Tokarevs currently in service. The PM was the result of that development, and has only started being replaced in 2003. -- source link
