    0:18 So, I was kinda right: it's indeed a craft-produced version of the SR1M of sorts. 😊
    5:18 It actually utilizes the same principle of exposed hardened core as the US 5.56 mm AP rounds.
    5:43 It's actually a surprisingly good attempt, Jonathan, congratulations!
    5:52 'Ch' in TochMash is pronounced like in the word 'cheese'.
    6:03 Which means: Central Scientific Research Institute for Precision Machinery.
    8:06 I think this is the inverse of the half-cock safety on semi-auto pistols we've discussed a while ago.
    18:58 The official interest was there, as there was a program for replacing the Makarov pistol in the Soviet military (which later went on for the Russian army), but the Sedyukov design lost the competition (only to re-emerge decades later to be finally adopted by the army in a new form).
    21:18 And this one, it is claimed, is indeed heavily based upon the FSB spec ops units' requirements.
    23:18 It's likely for the submachineguns chambered for the round.

    Some pistols do come with a designed automatic slide engagement system. The Mauser 1910/1914 pistol series are designed so that slide automatically engages upon proper seating of the magazine. In fact the pistol does not possess a manual slide release which means the only way to get the slide to engage is to insert the magazine. Some may consider that a design flaw, but one must bear in mind, the Mauser 1910/1914s are among the first generation of European semi automatic pistols and the manual of arms were still being developed.

    Fun fact. As far as I know, this pistol was never officially adopted under the pretext “why do we need such a powerful pistol, especially for a non-standard caliber?” And instead of it, the 9x19 caliber PYa Grach was officially adopted. HOWEVER, after a couple of years, people in some ministry, I don’t remember exactly defense or internal affairs, who actually opposed the “non-standard and too powerful caliber”, turned to the PYa designers with a request to make this pistol in 9X21 caliber... About corruption in In the development of Russian weapons, there are simply amazing rumors.

      My favorite story of corruption is early 2000s PLA pilots stationed on carriers using the solid fuel for rockets to cook hot pot. That's some shockingly corrupt hot pot 🥘
      (For reference the fuel is about $10 USD per 1 gram.

      @@_Twink There is the word "Massandra" - this is a type of wine that Russian pilots use as an abbreviation for "Микоян Анастас Советский Сын Армянского Народа Дарит Радость Авиации" ("Mikoyan Anastas Soviet Son of the Armenian People Gives Joy to Aviation.")
      This is due to the use of pure alcohol, which was intended for aviation equipment, but was consumed by pilots and technical staff. This, of course, is much cheaper, but it was a mass phenomenon.

    Unusual to see a double feed magazine in a pistol. If one can believe Wikipedia, it is surprising to see that bullet diameter is .356" rather than the .363" of the 9x18 Makarov. Did the Russians pinch the name "Vektor" from the out of production South African LIW pistols?

    Have I got this right? The safe loaded configuration is with the hammer down. However to get it there one must perform a rather unsafe action - manually lowering the hammer on a loaded chamber after pulling the trigger?

    Forgive me if I missed it, but I don't think I heard you talk about the magazine being double feed as well as double stack, which is reasonably unusual for a pistol. I suppose if you do run out of ammunition you could always beat your opponent into submission with it!

      @@zoiders I wasn't referring to that. I had to go back and check, but I was thinking of the way that the last round hold-open is activated not by the magazine follower, but by the lack of rounds in the magazine. Just a weird quirk of the system I half-remembered.
