Yarygin PYa

The Yarygin PYa is a semi-automatic pistol developed by Izhmekh, chambered in the Russian version of the 9x19mm bullet. It is a double action, short recoil action pistol. Currently it is being used by some military units in the North Caucuses region, and is replacing the Makarov PMM as the main sidearm of the Russian Ground Forces. The MP-443 Grach is the military version, the MP-446 Viking is the sporting derivative of it. The most distinct feature of it is its ability to use overpressure (+P+) armor-piercing rounds, such as the 7N21 and the 7N31.
