PM Pistol Prototype Gun (1949)
The gun adopts the free bolt type automatic mode, the structure is relatively simple, with the advantages of small mass, small size, easy to carry, etc., and it is one of the best compact self-defense pistols of the same era in that year. Russia has also developed variant guns, including the military Makarov pistol (PMM) and the civilian Makarov pistol Belga Izh-70 series.

GSh-18 pistol
The GSh-18 pistol is a semi-automatic pistol designed and produced by the Russian KBP Instrument Design Bureau mainly used for close combat, and is currently the leader of the new generation of military pistols in Russia and even the world. In 2001 it was adopted by the Russian Judicial Special Forces, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Military Special Forces, and began to export abroad.
The gun is lightweight and more convenient and flexible to use. Outwardly, the GSh-18 pistol is rugged and larger than the Makarov pistol, but its overall mass, excluding the magazine, is only 470 grams, while the Mass of the Makarov pistol after the magazine is removed is 730 grams. This is mainly because the former uses a large number of engineering plastics.
The GSh-18 pistol features a short-stroke recoil action on the barrel and an unusual cam-deflected latching structure with 10 ring-shaped, evenly distributed collar lugs on the outer surface of the barrel and a rotation angle of about 18 degrees. The cold-forged barrel has 6 polygonal rifling lines, the trigger structure is firing pin, double-action operation, and has a default trigger.

PSS muffled pistol
The PSS pistol pistol is a special weapon launched by the Central Institute of Precision Mechanics of the former Soviet Union, which fires special bullets and can kill live targets at close range with a slight sound. It entered service in 1983 and was primarily equipped with special operations units. The gun is a near-perfect silent weapon with little sound when fired, and no flash at the muzzle after firing. Although more than 30 years later, the performance of the gun is still unmatched.
Agents in many countries are equipped with low-sound pistols, and there are two common ways to silence micro-pistols: one is installed in the muzzle of the gun; the other is integrated with the barrel. The Russian PSS micro-acoustic pistol, on the other hand, has a unique approach, using a different muffler structure than the common muffler structure.
The PSS pistol has an integral sleeve. The chamber and barrel are separated and can be moved backwards. A coil spring mounted on the guide rod pushes the chamber towards the end of the barrel through the slider. The slider has an angled angle at one end facing the magazine to guide the bullet smoothly into the chamber.
