Makarov pistol locking mechanism "PM"

Since this gun uses the principle of blowback automation, the barrel locking mechanism consists of two parts: the bolt and the return spring.

The return mechanism of the Makarov pistol "PM"

The function of the return mechanism in the gun is performed by a return spring. The return spring is a twisted cylindrical spring, the extreme coil of one of the ends of which has a smaller diameter. With this turn during assembly, it is put on the barrel in order to be securely held.

The mechanism for removing spent cartridges from the Makarov pistol "PM"

It consists of an ejector and a reflector. The ejector has a hook for capturing the sleeve and a heel for connecting to the bolt. Work is carried out under the influence of a twisted cylindrical spring and oppression.

The reflector is part of the shutter delay.

The mechanism for feeding cartridges into the chamber of the Makarov pistol "PM"

The supply of cartridges into the chamber is carried out by the shutter with its lower part, which is called the rammer. The supply for sending cartridges is provided by the store using a feeder and a feeder spring. This can also be attributed to the shutter delay. The store consists of a housing, a feeder, a magazine cover, a feeder spring. The magazine housing is a box, the upper edges of the side walls of which are bent inward to hold the cartridges and the feeder. Below - curved ribs for the lid, On the sides - windows for control. The feeder has two bent ends for the direction of movement. One has a hook to turn on the shutter delay. The feeder spring is a twisted spring of figured manufacture. One end of it serves to lock the lid. The magazine cover has hooks and a latch hole. The bolt delay has a protrusion to hold the bolt in the rear position, a button with a notch for the hand, a hole for connecting to the pins of the sear, a tooth to turn off the bolt delay with a magazine and a reflector.

Safety devices of the Makarov pistol "PM"

As mentioned above, protection from an accidental shot is carried out here in three ways: “hang up” of the trigger - due to the wide feather of the mainspring; with the help of a safety platoon; with a mechanical safety lever. The fuse is held in a predetermined position by its spring and has a flag for transferring from the “fire” position to the “protection” position and vice versa; axis with a ledge for turning the sear and releasing the trigger from the cocking when transferred to the "protection" position; a rib that ensures the closure of the shutter with the frame in the "protection" position; hook for locking the trigger in the "safety" position; protrusion for receiving the blow of the trigger when the fuse is turned on. As you can see, this small detail is multifunctional in terms of purpose and connections with other details and is technologically complex.

Sights pistol Makarov "PM"

Sights of an open type, designed for a constant distance, consist of a fixed front sight and a movable rear sight located in the transverse groove of the casing-bolt.

General arrangement and operation of parts and mechanisms. The pistol is simple in design and handling, small in size, comfortable to carry and always ready for action. A pistol is a self-loading weapon, since it is automatically reloaded during firing. The operation of the automatic pistol is based on the principle of using the recoil of a free shutter . The shutter with the barrel has no clutch. The reliability of locking the bore during firing is achieved by a large mass of the bolt and the force of the return spring. Due to the presence in the pistol of a self-cocking trigger mechanism of the trigger type, it is possible to quickly open fire by directly pressing the tail of the trigger without first cocking the trigger.

The safety of handling the gun is ensured by a reliable safety lock. The pistol has a safety located on the left side of the slide. In addition, the trigger automatically becomes safety cocked under the action of the mainspring after the trigger is released (the "hang up" trigger) and when the trigger is released.

After the trigger is released, the trigger rod under the action of a narrow feather of the mainspring will move to the rear extreme position. The cocking lever and the sear will go down, the sear will press against the trigger under the action of its spring, and the trigger will automatically engage the safety cock.

To fire a shot, press index finger on the trigger. The trigger at the same time strikes the drummer, which breaks the primer of the cartridge. As a result, the powder charge ignites and forms a large number of powder gases. Bullet pressure of powder gases is ejected from the bore. The shutter under the pressure of gases transmitted through the bottom of the sleeve moves back, holding the sleeve with the ejector and compressing the return spring. The sleeve, upon meeting with the reflector, is thrown out through the shutter window, and the trigger becomes cocked.

Moving back to failure, the shutter under the action of the return spring returns forward. When moving forward, the bolt sends a cartridge from the magazine into the chamber. The bore is locked by a blowback; the gun is ready to fire again.

To fire the next shot, you must release the trigger, and then press it again. So the shooting will be carried out until the cartridges in the store are completely used up.

When all the cartridges from the magazine are used up, the shutter becomes on the shutter delay and remains in the rear position.

The main parts of the PM and their purpose

PM consists of the following main parts and mechanisms:

1. frame with barrel and trigger guard;
2. bolt with striker, ejector and fuse;
3. return spring;
4. trigger mechanism (a trigger, a sear with a spring, a trigger, a trigger rod with a cocking lever, a mainspring and a mainspring valve);
5. screw handle;
6. shutter delay;
7. shop.

Frame serves to connect all parts of the gun.

Trunk serves to direct the flight of the bullet.

trigger guard serves to protect the tail of the trigger from inadvertent pressing.

Drummer serves to break the capsule.

Fuse serves to ensure safe handling of the pistol.

The shop serves to hold eight rounds.

The shop consists of:

1. Store cases (connects all parts of the store).
2. Submitter (used to supply cartridges).
3. Feeder springs (serves to feed up the feeder with cartridges).
4. Magazine covers (Closes the store.)

Trigger pull with cocking lever serves to release the trigger from the cocking and cock the trigger when the trigger is pressed on the tail.

Action spring serves to actuate the trigger, cocking lever and trigger pull.

Disassembly and assembly of small arms and grenade launchers.

Frequent complete disassembly of weapons is not allowed, as it accelerates the wear of parts and mechanisms.

When disassembling and assembling weapons, the following rules must be observed:

1. disassembly and assembly should be carried out on a table or bench, and in the field - on a clean bedding;
2. put parts and mechanisms in the order of disassembly, handle them carefully, avoid excessive efforts and sharp blows;
3. when assembling, pay attention to the numbering of parts so as not to confuse them with parts of other weapons.

The order of incomplete disassembly of the PM:

1. Remove the magazine from the base of the handle.
2. Put the shutter on the shutter delay and check the presence of a cartridge in the chamber.
3. Separate the shutter from the frame.
4. Remove the return spring from the barrel.

Reassemble the gun after incomplete disassembly in reverse order.

Check the correct assembly of the pistol after incomplete disassembly.

Turn off the fuse (lower the flag down). Move the shutter to the rear position and release it. The shutter, having moved forward a little, becomes on the shutter delay and remains in the rear position. Pressing with your thumb right hand to the shutter delay, release the shutter. The bolt under the action of the return spring should vigorously return to the forward position, and the trigger should be cocked. Turn on the fuse (raise the flag up). The trigger should break off the combat platoon and block.

Full disassembly procedure:

1. Perform partial disassembly.
2. Disassemble frame:
   • separate the sear and slide delay from the frame.
   • separate the handle from the base of the handle and the mainspring from the frame.

• take out the dispenser.

Assembly is carried out in reverse order.

Check the correct operation of parts and mechanisms after assembly.

Delays when firing from PM

The Makarov pistol is the first small arms developed by the Soviet Union after the end of the Second World War. Designer N.F. Makarov created a weapon that since 1951 has become an integral part of the country's armed forces. Now new pistols have already been created, which are much more powerful, faster and more convenient, but the Makarov pistol has already taken its rightful place in history.

The history of the creation and development of the Makarov pistol model

In 1945, the Ministry of Defense of the Soviet Union began selection for the design and creation of a 7.65 mm or 9 mm pistol.

The best developers of the USSR expressed their desire to try their hand at the competition. Nikolai Fedorovich Makarov also confirmed his participation. Also, for comparison of characteristics, foreign models of pistols were included in the competition. famous brands: Walter, Mauser, Sauer, Beretta.

When developing the project, N.F. Makarov took as a basis the presence of a smaller number of parts than in existing existing models.

The proposed Makarov project consisted of 30 constituent parts, with some of the main parts of the PM performing several functions at once. For example, the main spring of a pistol could perform seven operations.

Nikolai Fedorovich paid great attention to the main problem of small arms of his time - frequent stops in shooting. Thanks to non-standard solutions, this problem was solved.

By the beginning of 1947, Makarov had decided on the concept of the pistol, having worked through every detail. In October 1947, field tests of the pistols that took part in the competition began. The samples presented by the designers Makarov and Sevryugin passed to the second stage of selection.

According to the assessment of additional parameters, the choice of the employees of the state commission fell on the project of the pistol by N. F. Makarov.

At the end of the 40s, after eliminating all the flaws and making changes to the design of the pistol, new tests were carried out. The gun was presented to the commission already in the completed design. Based on the results of the shooting, the commission members noted the simplicity and reliability of the pistol when used in real combat conditions. Shooting showed high accuracy. From a distance of 50 meters, the bullets hit the target with an accuracy of 16 cm in diameter. The pistol was shorter than its predecessor, the TT pistol, by 34 mm and weighed 230 grams lighter.

Assessing the high performance of the pistol, the commission recommended that the pistol be adopted, which was done in 1951.

The weapon was exported to the countries of Eastern Europe, Asia and some African countries.

Since 2003, the Makarov has been officially withdrawn from the Russian Armed Forces and replaced by the Yarygin pistol.

For 60 s extra years the pistol has acquired a real cult status and has become a collector's item for many domestic and foreign connoisseurs of weapons.

I think it is necessary to say a few words about the inventor himself. Nikolai Fedorovich Makarov was born on May 22, 1914 in Sasovo, Ryazan Region. Father - Fedor Vasilyevich Makarov. Mother - Pelageya Vasilievna Makarova.

In addition to Nikolai, 5 children were still brought up in the family. Having completed his studies at primary school, Nikolai continued his studies at the School of Railway Transport in Ryazan. After graduating from the school, he continued to work as a foreman in one of the depots of the Kazan Railway.

1936 - the beginning of studies at the Mechanical Institute in Tula, where many designers of the USSR studied in the field of military equipment.

By the beginning of World War II, training was carried out according to an accelerated program. He was given an engineering diploma and was transferred to the Zagorsk plant, where at that time the PPSh-41 Shpagin machine gun was produced.

Simultaneously with work at the plant, Nikolai Fedorovich was engaged in a dissertation, which he successfully defended in 1944. After the end of the war, he was transferred to Design Bureau No. 14 in Tula, where he worked all his life.

• 1952, 1967 - Mosin Prize;
• 1966 - Order of the Red Banner of Labor;
• 1971 - Order of Lenin;
• 1974 - awarded the title of "Hero of Socialist Labor".

Design features

The Makarov Pistol (PM) is a medium caliber pistol with a fixed body. In recoil designs, the only force holding the bolt closed is the force of the return spring. When firing, the barrel and bolt do not need to be unlocked, as pistols with a lockable breech do. The PM device is simple and with finely tuned parts, compared to designs using a coiled or articulating barrel.

The PM is considered one of the best compact self-defense pistols of its time. When interacting with the enemy up to 50 meters, this is a reliable, accurate self-defense weapon.

The Makarov is an all-metal pistol. The safety lever is located on the left side of the shooter. In safe mode, you can move down from the cocked position, after which the hammer, sear is fixed.

The external hammer can be cocked manually for an accurate first shot in single action mode, or can be cocked in automatic mode when a little more force is needed to pull the trigger.

The all-steel magazine holds 8 cartridges (12 cartridges for PMM pistols), and after firing the last cartridge, the sliding stop remains in the open position. To remove it, you need to pull the lever on the left side of the frame down. The magazine latch is located at the bottom of the handle, but on some export versions (Baikal-442) a push-button magazine release is provided (the button is at the base of the trigger).

How to disassemble the gun:

1. Disconnect the magazine by pressing the magazine release button on the base of the handle and pull the magazine;
2. Check that the chamber is empty;
3. Pull the safety trigger down, then turn it sideways to lock it in the open position;
4. Raise the back of the cover and remove from the rails;
5. Carefully check the sliding movement forward and remove the barrel;
6. Remove the return spring from the barrel.

The principle of operation of the PM

The trigger mechanism is based on the principle of double action, when, after installing a magazine with cartridges, the trigger is pressed with force, then the hammer is cocked and the sear is released, and hits the drummer. There is a shot. After the shot, the body cover begins to move back, overcoming the force of the recoil spring.

Once the lid reaches its rearmost position, the ejector pin on the slip stop extends to the left rear of the empty case. The ejector tooth pushes the housing out of the ejection port. The bolt begins to move forward, removing the next cartridge from the magazine, pushing it into the chamber, thereby self-loading the pistol.

Finally, the latch enters the battery (full forward), the prong rises above the cartridge rim and snaps into place. The pistol is now ready to fire again. The disconnector prevents a second shot from being fired with the same trigger pull.

Subsequent shots are a single action, meaning that the hammer is already cocked and that the trigger action pushes the sear away from the hammer, thereby releasing the hammer.

The drummer is floating, without a return spring. This is a very simple mechanism that has been in operation for over 50 years. The other side of the hammer interacts with the sear in order to stop it at the bottom of its movement if the side of the hammer is damaged. This ensures that the pistol will not fire unless the trigger is pulled.

After the last shot is fired, the repeater tab on the magazine pushes up on the lid release and it locks into the rear position. The magazine should now be removed and a new one inserted.

When the trigger is pressed, the return spring pushes the slider forward, removing the first round of the magazine into the chamber, and the pistol is ready to fire in single action.

The safety can be easily removed by turning it clockwise past the "safe" position, turning away from the muzzle through an angle of about 120° and pulling it out. The safety also holds the firing pin in place, so care must be taken that the firing pin is not lost when the safety is removed.

The magazine consists of 4 main parts: housing, spring, pusher and plate. Its capacity is 8 rounds of caliber 9×18 mm PM. Magazines can get dirty, so they need to be cleaned periodically.

The magazine release button is located on the bottom of the pistol, near the bottom of the grip. To release the magazine, press the magazine release button down until the magazine drops slightly. You can pull out the store.

The barrel is fixed in the frame, and the pin ensures its return. The barrel can be changed to a different caliber or configuration.

Some Soviet (Russian) pistol models come with adjustable rear sights, while the original Makarov has a fixed rear sight. Even though it's called "fixed", it can be moved left or right with a slight push.

Makarov consists of only 27 parts, which is significantly less than that of Walter, who has 42. The simplicity of the design of the pistol is a very ingenious invention of Makarov and allows the pistol to be disassembled with a small number of tools. Some parts are multifunctional. For example, the hammer spring also serves as a magazine release, the safety holds the firing pin in place, and the trigger also acts as an ejector. Below is a cheat sheet TTX PM 9mm, which is especially relevant for cadets of military schools.

Ammunition used in PM

Before telling what ammunition was used in the PM, it is necessary to briefly outline the history of the appearance of the standard 9 × 18 cartridge.

The development of a new 9 mm cartridge began at the Experimental Design Bureau No. 44, which was headed by B.V. Semin. The shell from a standard cartridge (7.62 × 25) was taken as the basis. As a result of the test shooting ranges, a decision was made to reduce the length to 18 mm.

In 1947, they underwent development tests of new cartridges, marked in the documents as OP-1 cartridges. The test cartridges were compared with the cartridges of the TT pistol, as well as with the German 9x19 (Parabellum). As a result, after eliminating all the comments and shortcomings, the 9x18 mm cartridge was adopted in 1951.

In the 60s of the XX century, bullets with increased impact and armor-piercing characteristics were developed for KGB officers. However, more accurate information about the bullets used and the performance characteristics of the Makarov pistol in this modification is not freely available.

In the 90s, attempts were made to use cartridges with increased penetration in the PM. The results of such an experiment did not find support among military experts, especially since they had already developed and were working on cartridges of caliber 9x19 mm and 9x21 mm.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages:

• Simplicity of design;
• Reliability of the pistol;
• Light weight;
• The low cost of the gun;
• Quality store.

Flaws:

• Strong recoil after a shot;
• The high cost of cartridges;
• You need to put more effort when pulling the trigger;
• There is no way to install optics.

Modifications based on PM

1. The most famous modification of the Makarov pistol is the PMM (modernized Makarov pistol). In 1990, a group of engineers redesigned the original design, primarily by increasing the load on the gun's barrel. The result is a significant increase in muzzle velocity and 25% more gas pressure. The PMM magazine holds 12 rounds. The PMM can use existing 9.2x18mm cartridges. There are also minor changes in the ergonomics of the handle. Along with the Grach pistol, the PMM became the service pistol of the Russian Airborne Forces;

   TTX pistol PMM:

2. An experimental version of the Makarov pistol -TKB-023 was developed with a polymer frame to reduce the weight and cost of the weapon. It passed Soviet military testing during the Soviet era, but was never approved for production, due to concerns about the polymer's long-term storage and use properties;
3. IZH-70. Izhevsk Mechanical Plant (IMZ) produced a version of the PM pistol called IZH-70. This version was exported. The main difference between the IZH-70 and the standard Makarov pistol is an adjustable sight, made like a sports sight;
4. IZH-70-400. In 1993, the designers of the Izhevsk plant presented a new modification chambered for 9 × 19 mm (Parabellum). The main difference between the pistol is the slow unlocking of the barrel with the help of helical-ring grooves in the chamber;
5. Baikal IZH-79-8 - a modification of the standard Makarov pistol with an 8 mm barrel. The pistol is designed to fire gas cartridges.

All of the above weapons were produced on the territory of the USSR and Russia.

There are several Warsaw Pact countries that themselves began to produce their own pistols, which, by design, almost completely correspond to the characteristics and appearance Makarov pistol.

These countries include Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia. According to them, they themselves developed their own designs of pistols chambered for 9 × 18 mm.

Hungary developed the FEG PA-63, Poland the P-64 and P-83 Wanad, and Czechoslovakia the vz.82. These pistols are identical in principle of operation (direct recoil), the cartridge has the same caliber as the PM.

At the same time, they were already delivered to some countries as pistols made in Poland, Hungary or Czechoslovakia.

The Makarov pistol

One of the first serial PM 1949 release, distinctive features which are curly frames, a ledge on the right side of the trigger guard and magazines with an oblique ledge to turn off the slide delay.

PM pistol produced in 1977

The history of the creation of PM

A pistol designed by Nikolai Fedorovich Makarov was adopted to replace the TT, which did not meet the new requirements of the army for personal short-barreled weapons. During the Second World War, soldiers and officers of the Red Army gained vast experience in the combat use of personal short-barreled weapons, both domestic and captured, of various designs and manufacturers. The advantages, disadvantages and various features of most combat pistols of that time were identified. In particular, clashes at short and ultra-short distances, close combat in urban conditions showed insufficient stopping power of the bullet of the cartridge used in standard TT pistols, compared to the more effective 9 mm cartridges of the German Parabellums and Walthers, as well as several significant shortcomings of the weapons. For example, the TT did not provide a sufficient degree of safety in handling due to the lack of a safety mechanism, in addition to the safety cocking of the trigger, which did not allow you to safely carry a pistol with you in full combat readiness. TT also had a fairly large length.

Its simple trigger mechanism worked only in single action mode, while the best German captured pistols had a double action trigger, allowing you to safely carry a pistol with a cartridge previously sent to the chamber, and the owner of the weapon could instantly open fire. It became obvious the need to develop and adopt a more advanced model of personal weapons that meets all the requirements of that time. And, in fact, the officers preferred to go into battle not with a pistol, but with a much more effective submachine gun, using a service TT or captured Walter only when absolutely necessary, if more effective weapon refused or simply ran out of ammo. So even during the war, it was decided to replace the Tokarev pistol with a modern model with higher combat and operational qualities. As a result, not only the requirements for personal weapons were revised, but also the general concept of their use in active army.

The new pistol was supposed to have smaller dimensions and weight, a trigger mechanism that allows you to open fire without pre-cocking the trigger, a greater stopping effect of a bullet, greater safety in handling and high reliability in difficult operating conditions. An experienced Makarov pistol was developed at the Tula TsKB-14 (later renamed TsKIB SOO) under the designation TKB-429, which just met the above requirements. At the beginning of the search the best option and early development work, Makarov designed two versions of his pistol. One chambered for 7.65mm Browning, which gave an advantage in smaller dimensions and weight of weapons, the other chambered for a more powerful domestic 9 × 18. The 9×18 cartridge was created by engineer Semin before the start of the war. Its prototype was the German 9mm Ultra, developed by the German company GECO, however, having the same cartridge case length, these cartridges are not interchangeable, since the bullet diameter of the domestic cartridge is 9.2 mm. In terms of energy and bullet speed, the 9×18 (official designation 57-N-181) occupies a niche between 9mm Short and 9mm Parabellum, having more bullet stopping power than the former and at the same time the ability to use in weapons with a blowback, in comparison with second. The new Russian 9mm cartridge was shorter than the stock 7.62×25 cartridge, with less initial speed and the energy of the bullet, its smaller penetrating effect. However, due to the larger caliber, it had not only no less stopping power than the more powerful 7.62 mm cartridge, but even surpassed it in this quality. As a result, the choice was made in favor of a more effective 9 mm cartridge.

Makarov worked day and night on the creation of his pistol. According to the memoirs of the designer: “Suffice it to say that at that time I worked every day, practically without days off, from eight in the morning until two or three in the morning, as a result of which I finalized and shot samples two or even three times more than my rivals, which, of course, made it possible to perfectly work out reliability and survivability. Having chosen the scheme of operation of automation using recoil energy with a free shutter, the designer made the weapon small-sized, relatively light, very reliable in operation, easy to maintain and inexpensive to manufacture. In general, the overall layout and design of weapon components and mechanisms were based on the solutions used in the German Walther PP, but at the same time Makarov significantly improved them in several areas: simplifying both the design itself and the handling of the pistol, its maintenance; multifunctionality of parts; increase of reliability of work in extreme conditions of operation; increase in the strength of parts and service life; increasing manufacturability and the pace of mass production. The recoil spring is located around the barrel, which made the pistol more compact and lighter than designs in which this spring is placed under the barrel.

Makarov managed to almost completely eliminate the delays in firing caused by sticking the cartridge into the feed ramp. The designer managed to achieve the ideal ratio of the height of the upper cartridge, the geometry and inclination of the bevel of the chamber, the shutter-casing mirror and the ejector design. In the PM, the upper cartridge in the magazine is located very high, almost at the level of the chamber, as a result of which, with the other above-mentioned features, the cartridges are fed with a minimum angle and the risk of sticking is minimized. The same Walter PP is very "finicky" to the shape of the bullet of the used cartridges due to the low location of the upper cartridge in relation to the chamber. The reliability of the PM thanks to this design was proven not only in tests, but most importantly, in real combat operations - in Afghanistan, Chechnya, and other countries where local warriors were and continue to be fought. The trigger mechanism of the trigger type, double action with automatic setting of the trigger on the safety platoon has a much simpler and more technologically advanced design. Descent with a warning. Trigger force when firing with a pre-cocked trigger, in single action mode, is 2 kg, and when firing by self-cocking - 4.5 kg. The parts of the trigger are much stronger, more durable, and the mechanism itself is easier to maintain than the one used in the PP pistol. On the left side of the frame is the slide stop lever.

Makarov PM pistol device

On the left surface of the shutter-casing there is a safety lever lever, when turned on, it locks the drummer and safely pulls the trigger from the cocking. In the on position, the fuse blocks the sear and the shutter-casing, while the trigger does not touch the firing pin. The PM fuse is an original design that differs significantly from the Walther PP system, and the only significant similarity is the location. Makarov designed a fuse that is turned off by moving the lever to the lower position, that is, by the natural movement of the thumb of the shooter's hand holding the weapon, while Walter's fuse is turned off by moving the lever up. Sights consist of a fixed front sight, made as part of a shutter-casing, and a rear sight fixed in a dovetail groove with the possibility of making lateral amendments. A magazine latch is located at the bottom of the handle. The gun consists of only 32 parts.

The PM has good accuracy for a compact pistol. When firing at 25 meters with standard 57-N-181 cartridges, the dispersion radius of R100 is 75 mm, and at 50 meters - 160 mm. At a distance of 10 meters, the dispersion radius is only 35 mm. It is necessary to separately note one of the design features of the PM - the multifunctionality of parts. For example, a two-bladed lamellar mainspring of a complex shape, in addition to its direct and main purpose, also performs the function of a hammer rebound spring by bending its wide feather, and the lower end of the spring is a magazine latch. Some parts, especially the fuse, have a rather complex shape. But later, a change in the production method made it possible to simplify and reduce the cost technological process. As a result, Nikolai Fedorovich created a pistol, which is independent design next to original solutions, which is much more reliable, durable, simple and has a longer service life than the Walther PP taken as the basis.

F.V. pistols took part in the competitive tests. Tokareva, I.I. Rakova, P.V. Voevodina, S.A. Korovina, A.A. Klimova, GV. Sevryugina, S.G. Simanova and A.I. Lobanov, as well as foreign systems such as Walther PP, Mauser HSc, Sauer 38H, Beretta M1934 and FN Browning model 1910/22. At the same time, the standard TT was the reference pistol. The most severe test was the placement of pistols in a pit filled with sand and water. In this case, the Makarov sample demonstrated an undeniable superiority in reliability. Pistol designed by N.F. Makarov, according to the results of tests in 1948, was recognized as the best, but it was recommended to make a number of changes to the design. After some refinement, the pistol was put into service under the designation PM (Makarov Pistol) in 1951. However, after all necessary work for improvement and preparation for mass production, its production was launched at the Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant back in 1949.

It should be noted that in the initial period of production, work was carried out in parallel to improve and adapt the design of the pistol to mass production and to develop the most suitable technology. The designers and technologists of the plant did a great job. Identified defects were eliminated, such as a small operational resource, a quick draft of the mainspring and other shortcomings. As a result, the original version of the PM pistol has undergone a number of changes, both internal and external. Experience in combat use in the army and law enforcement agencies testifies to the very high reliability and ease of handling and maintenance of this weapon. Over time, shortcomings also emerged: a small stopping and penetrating effect of a bullet; small magazine capacity; narrow handle, with a small angle of inclination like that of the TT - 102 °, which does not provide full contact with the palm. Shooters with a low level of training or without regular training shooting with the PM demonstrate not high accuracy, since its handle and somewhat peculiar "grip" need to get used to.

When shooting from PM, especially when the bluing is erased, in side light, a reflection on the front sight is perceived as the absence of its side part. As a result, the shooter turns the weapon in the direction of the light and the bullets fall away from the center. As a disadvantage of the weapon, one can also consider the presence of a manually operated safety lever, which complicates the handling of the weapon. However, at that time the concept of peacetime personal short-barreled weapons dominated, that is, light, compact, convenient, with the necessary accuracy at short firing distances and not burdensome in everyday wear. In the event of the outbreak of hostilities, personal weapons would no longer be any serious and significant on the battlefield. Therefore, the shortcomings of the Makarov pistol were not seriously taken into account, especially in comparison with its advantages.

The very first PMs were produced in Tula in a trial batch of 20 to 30 pieces. The numbers began with "TM", followed by numbers and the year. After that, the release of Makarov pistols was transferred to Izhevsk, where in 1949 a trial batch of 5000 copies was made, with numbers starting with "TM". The frames of early production pistols (1949 - 1953) are distinguished by a curly front part, and the trigger guard has a protrusion on the right side of the upper edge. The side protrusion of the trigger guard, when pulled down, opened up access to the trigger, making it possible to remove it. In 1949, the number of the pistol was stamped on the rather wide front lower end of the shutter-casing. In later versions, the numbers were placed on the left side of the shutter-casing and frame. The slide delay at the bottom had an off lever, also called a tooth. After the last cartridge was used up, the shutter-casing became on the shutter delay, and at the moment of attaching the equipped magazine, the lever (tooth) of the shutter delay, interacting with the inclined protrusion of the window on the left side of the magazine, released the shutter-casing, sending the cartridge into the chamber. In order to ensure greater safety in handling weapons, the lever that automatically turns off the shutter delay was subsequently abolished. Now, in order to release the shutter-casing with the magazine removed or attached, it is necessary to press on the outer lug of the shutter delay. Such a decrease in the combat qualities of weapons, which increases the reloading time, of course, is a controversial decision, but justified by the practice of exploitation in the troops. The rear wall of the base of the handle of the PM frame of 1949 with a flat surface does not have a bracket for clamping the mainspring, which is held directly by the handle and screw. Since 1950, the shape of the rear surface of the base of the handle has been changed, due to the fact that the fastening of the screw holding the mainspring and the cheeks of the handle was constantly weakening.

In 1950, the production of the same curly frames began, but with the base of the handle, which has a mount for the mainspring clamp bracket and the clamp itself. The 1949 pistols were equipped with grip cheeks with a diamond-shaped cross-cut on the back surface, the color of which could be either black or brown. Later ones have a smooth back surface, and are only red-brown in color with various shades of it. From the second half of 1953, they began to produce pistols with a modified form of the trigger rod and a reduced free play of the trigger, as well as transitional models with a figured frame, a bracket for clamping the mainspring, and with a trigger guard that does not have a ledge. In 1954, the configuration of the flag safety lever changed somewhat. From the same year, the production of a new type of frame, with a thin front part, began, which is still used today. In 1970, a reduced rate of shooting was adopted - from 5000 to 2500 shots. In 1984, in order to ensure more convenient handling of weapons, the number of notches on the left surface of the shutter-casing was increased from ten to thirteen. Since 1988, the safety lever has been manufactured using the method of casting into a mold and subsequent milling. Around 1989, workmanship deteriorated. Gradually simplified the form of the shutter delay lever. The trigger and trigger also began to be made using the same method. The shape of the front part of the trigger guard was changed, which in the 90s began to be made by casting. In 1993, the production of pistols with a cast frame was launched.

One of the most important advantages of the pistol, created by Nikolai Fedorovich Makarov, is the reliability of work in the most difficult operating conditions. This quality has been proven not only in tests and operation in the army, but also in harsh combat conditions. The first major military conflict in which the PM took part, in more or less significant quantities, was Vietnam War. In the incredibly harsh conditions of the jungle war South-East Asia Makarov's pistol demonstrated excellent reliability. And then in Afghanistan, with minimal care and sand ingress, the PM worked flawlessly. In the First and Second Chechen Warriors, the Makarov pistol again proved its reliability, without letting the fighters down. Russian Army and the Internal Troops at the right time, when the cartridges in the machine gun store ran out, or they had to act in close combat. Former and current officers, veterans of the Afghan war and two Chechen companies who happened to use their service Makarov pistol in battle, speak something like this: “In those conditions when both the pistol and your hands are all dirty, sometimes after a long absence of any kind of care for weapons, I very much doubt that then any foreign pistol, and PM saved the lives of many of our fighters. Of course, with a strong clogging of the chamber, the mirror of the shutter-casing, the grooves of the frame and the shutter-casing, the ejector spring, delays sometimes occur, but most of them are caused by careless handling of weapons and other shortcomings due to the fault of the owner.

In the early 1990s, as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union and a significant reduction in government orders for the army and law enforcement agencies, Izhmekh began manufacturing export versions of the Makarov pistol for the civilian arms market. Such pistols differed mainly in the presence of a rear sight adjustable in two planes and enlarged handle cheeks with protrusions under thumb. By the mid 1990s. new versions of the PM were presented: IZH-70 chambered for 9 × 18 with an adjustable whole; IJ70-17A (IZH-70-200), whose production began in 1994, uses the 9mm Short (9x17) cartridge, and its variants IZH-70-100 (chambered for 9x18) and IZH-70-300 ( under 9 × 17) are distinguished by magazines with a capacity of 10 rounds; in 1995, a service version of the PM, created for security structures, was released under the designation IZH-71 chambered for 9 × 17, produced in various versions, differing in magazine capacity and sights.

In accordance with the Weapons Act of 1997, which regulated the use of firearms private security organizations, Izhmekh launched the production of PM chambered for 9 × 17 (9mm Short), the bullet energy of which was 20% less than the standard 9 × 18 cartridge. Such weapons are classified as service weapons. One of the newest variants of the PM is the Baikal-442, which is a sports and training modification of the Makarov pistol chambered for 9 × 18. The main differences between this weapon and its prototype are a trigger guard with a front ledge, a wider handle with a protruding diamond-shaped notch on the front and handle cheeks with side projections for the shooter's thumb. Shop with double-row arrangement of 10 or 12 rounds. The width of the handle is 34mm. On a separate order, it is supplied with a push-button magazine latch located under the shutter delay lever and can be equipped with a laser designator and a micrometer as a whole, adjustable in two planes.

In the Russian Federation, under the Law on Weapons, since the time of the Bolshevik coup, civilians do not have the right to own short-barreled weapons, unlike many European countries, and even more so the United States, with civilized and democratic legislation, where Russian pistols are exported and they are relatively free ordinary citizens or those with a residence permit can buy. As a result, for the domestic market, the manufacturer of Makarov pistols and his various options, was forced to develop the following products on the basis of a combat PM: an MP-654K pneumatic pistol of 4.5 mm caliber; gas IZH-79-8 and MP-79 chambered for 8 mm cartridge; traumatic 9 mm pistols Izh-79-9T "Makarych" and MP-79-9TM, as well as MP-80-13T chambered for .45 Rubber. Without taking into account the pneumatic pistol for sports and training shooting and gas models, which have proven to be extremely ineffective for self-defense, the most popular are traumatic products that shoot rubber balls.

PM has become widespread not only in the Warsaw Pact countries, but also in many friendly countries. Soviet Union countries and later around the world. Wherever the Makarov pistol was used, its highest reliability and simplicity were noted, as a result of which this weapon became very popular even with a large selection of much more modern and samples from leading arms companies in Europe and the USA. Makarov pistols, in addition to the Soviet Army and law enforcement agencies, were in service and manufactured under license in the GDR, Bulgaria, China and the Dominican Republic. After the unification of Germany, the release of PM was launched by the famous German manufacturer weapons - by Simson. Despite all its advantages, the Makarov pistol by the end of the 1980s did not meet the requirements for personal short-barreled weapons. Due to the widespread use of personal armor protection (NIB) in the armies of most countries of the world and vigorous activity terrorist organizations, the weapon had to use a powerful cartridge with a high penetrating and stopping effect of a bullet, and have high firepower. In order to create a new, more efficient pistol, design work was launched at the Grach competition.

A temporary solution to the problem was the PMM pistol (Makarov Pistol Upgraded) chambered for 9 × 18 PMM with a reinforced powder charge and a lightweight bullet with a steel core and a conical warhead. The pistol itself differs from the prototype in a simpler form of the shutter-casing, enlarged cheeks of the handle with side protrusions for the thumb, as well as an increased-capacity magazine with a two-row arrangement of cartridges. Compared to the PM, the PMM pistol has higher combat qualities, which, however, are inferior to Western counterparts. The 9x18 PMM cartridges are not interchangeable with standard cartridges and cannot be used in weapons chambered for 9x18. Due to some confusion, there were problems with breakdowns of standard PMs. The PMM has not become widespread, and the PYa pistol, which won the Grach competition, cannot yet replace the PM due to financial difficulties. As a result, at present, the Makarov pistol still remains service weapon in the army and police. Nevertheless, in spite of everything, the Makarov pistol combines the best qualities of a compact personal short-barreled self-defense weapon. It is compact, very reliable, durable, safe, easy to handle and maintain. Despite the small, by modern standards, resource, some PM pistols, mainly produced in the 1960s. with the best workmanship have a very large shot and at the same time function reliably.

So the Soviet "Makarovs" in shooting ranges have shot up to 40,000 shots. The resource of the return spring averages from 5000 to 7000 shots. Modern PMs, as a rule, cannot withstand more than 5000, since they, in fact, are not designed for this. Another example of reliability - one owner of an old combat PM fired only about 52,000 shots from his pistol without a single delay. With proper experience and training, the pistol demonstrates excellent accuracy, even with standard grip cheeks. For example, the author knows the following result - when shooting at a distance of 25 meters with a series of five shots, when shooting from two hands at a low pace, with Barnaul cartridges with shell bullets, the maximum diameter of a group of hits was 60 mm! Even today, with a huge range of the latest and most advanced models from leading manufacturers such as Glock, Beretta, Steyr, Walther, Smith & Wesson and Sig Sauer, many people well versed in weapons choose the proven, trouble-free Makarov pistol to protect their lives.

Countless discussions have been held on the suitability of the Makarov pistol as a compact self-defense weapon. In these disputes, as a rule, there are two dominant parties with opposing opinions. Those who consider the PM not a suitable weapon for such use, given the huge selection latest models, cite as seriously justified arguments the presence on the arms market of a huge selection of the latest models of leading manufacturers that are ahead of the Makarov pistol not only in technical and technological terms, but also in terms of the most important qualities in this aspect of use. As a comparison, as a rule, pistols with polymer frames are indicated, with double-row or single-row magazines. Note that the length of the PM is 161 mm, and the width is 30.5 mm. Here it is necessary to give a couple of examples. The new super slim Walther PPS in 9mm Parabellum with a 6, 7 or 8 round single row magazine, the same length as the PM but only 23mm wide! The well-proven Glock 26 of the same caliber, with a two-row magazine with a capacity of 10 or 12 rounds, with a slightly shorter length and width than the PM.

Pistols like the ones above outperform the PM by several times in terms of combat and operational qualities, and they all fire the more effective, most widely used 9mm Parabellum cartridges in the world. It is impossible to disagree with such arguments, especially when you know the features of each of the given pistols. Modern models of approximately the same dimensions are much lighter, much more convenient to hold and handle than the PM, and surpass it in firing accuracy and firepower. Supporters of the expediency of wearing a Makarov pistol for self-defense point to its high reliability in extreme operating conditions and simplicity of design. Arguments are given that it is quite possible to learn to shoot from the PM with very good accuracy, if you train enough, that it is quite convenient and not burdensome to carry covertly, and the effectiveness of the cartridges used has been proven for decades practical application in law enforcement agencies and the armed forces of Russia and the former USSR.

Even now, in the presence of modern pistols in Russian special forces, many prefer the old and proven PM, despite the relatively large length and insufficient smoothness of the trigger, more weight than modern models and a slightly smaller magazine capacity. However, proponents of the PM generally agree that its cartridge is only effective if the opponent does not use personal protective equipment. After all, even not expensive modern lightweight Kevlar body armor perfectly protects against PM shots. But here it should be clarified that the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not encounter an enemy using NIB, and special forces soldiers have the opportunity to choose weapons for a more powerful and effective cartridge. But why are Makarov pistols still in very stable and good demand today in those countries of the world where citizens have the opportunity to choose any modern compact pistol, similar to those given as an example? This happens for several reasons. At the same time, it should be clarified that Makarov pistols are most popular in the Baltic countries, other states that were previously part of the USSR, as well as in Eastern Europe in general.

Many of those who buy a Makarov pistol are former law enforcement officers and are very familiar with this weapon, getting used to it and learning how to shoot well from it. The owner of a Makarov pistol about his weapon: “I have a German PM. A very good pistol! In terms of strength, in my opinion, it is not inferior, and probably surpasses the Izhevsk pistols from the times of the USSR. The quality of surface treatment and bluing is significantly higher than the output of all those countries in which PM was produced. The interior surface finish is excellent. There are no scratches or marks of machining. The accuracy of shooting is generally the same as that of most PMs. However, the fundamental factor when buying a PM is not only its reliability, but also its low cost. A significantly more affordable price often becomes a decisive argument. At the same time, almost all leading experts in the field of personal weapons and their use, including the United States, point to an excellent combination of price and quality of the weapon itself. The Makarov pistol provides the buyer with excellent qualities of a compact personal weapon at a very affordable price.

For this reason, PMs are bought both in Western Europe and in the USA, where the level of well-being of the population is higher, and people have the opportunity to purchase much more modern, but also more expensive weapons. You should not forget about the huge selection of pistols in the same USA. A resident of California about the popularity of PM: “Makarov is respected in America. I can judge because they are not stale in our stores, they are quickly bought up, despite the availability of almost anything. I don’t know how it is in other states, it will only appear in our store, after 2-3 days it was already taken away. In general, there is an opinion that Russian weapons- reliable. In addition, the owner of the PM about his pistol: “Of course, I got used to the PM for about two months, until I shot. But now I wear it every day. In the city, that's it. Small, 8 rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber, and most importantly, reliable. I'm not afraid that there will be problems with him. It's psychologically very important to carry a gun you trust." The Makarov pistol, or as it is now called in the USA - Russian Mak, together with the Kalashnikov assault rifle in the West, are the standard of reliable, functional, unpretentious, practical and effective weapons.

And think that somewhere out there, in the great abysses Russian libraries lie
such plans for themselves and are waiting for their discoverer ...

I think YOU are wrong. The libraries do not receive drawings and other technical documentation.
Such documentation is kept by developers, factories and arsenals, and later - when removed from service -
part is burned (not representing historical value), part is handed over to the archives. Which archives
I don’t know, but I assume that most of it settles (settled) in the archives of the artillery museum.
Here is his official website, if you wish, you can ask: http://www.artillery-museum.ru/contact.html

I'm already in this thread
posted some scans quick reference for this archive.
Also, part of the documentation settled in the Russian State Military Archive (RGVA) for 1917-1940 - I posted information in the same topic.
And the documentation for 1941 and later should, it seems, settle in the archives of the Ministry of Defense.
Even in the RGVA, some of the documents are still classified, not to mention the archive of the Ministry of Defense, so not everything is so simple ..
It may be difficult for you to translate unrecognized scans, so I have located the most interesting and spread it in text form:
