"Initially this gun was designed to meet Russian Army requirements for a high capacity pistol with effective range of no less than 50 meters. To achieve such characteristics, a new cartridge was developed - SP-10 (9x21) with AP steel core bullets, designed to deal with targets in bulletproof vests or hiding in cars etc (capable of near to 100% successful penetration of 30 layers of Kevlar plus up to 2.8mm titanium plate at 100 meters).                                                                                                    
                                                                                               .                                            When, in the mid-1990s, Russian Army lost interest in this gun in the favor of the 9x19mm developments, some Russian Law-enforcement agencies picked up this gun, and in 1996 it was adopted by FSB ( Federal Security Service, a part of the former KGB) and some other agencies. The development of this pistol and ammunition for it continued into the 21st century, and, in 2003, its improved version was finally adopted by the Russian Government for military and police use as the SPS - Samozaryadnyj Pistolet Serdjukova - Serdyukov Self-loading pistol. Originally known as "Gyurza", or as SR-1 "Vektor" (in FSB service), this pistol had been developed by the designer Piotr Serdyukov at TSNIITOchMash (Central Research and Development Institute of Precision Machine Building, in Klimovsk city, Russia). At the present time this pistol is used by the various FSB and FSO (Russian state VIP protection service) troops. It is also issued (on limited basis) to Russian police (mostly to special SWAT-type units) and is offered for export.

Current production version of this gun is known as SR1M. It features slightly improved ergonomics and some minor internal modifications. An SR1MP version is a kit, consisting of the SR1M pistol, special adapter with one or four Picatinny rails, and a quick-detach tactial suppressor, designed to work with supersonic 9x21 ammunition.

The SPS is a short recoil operated, locked breech pistol. The slide to barrel locking is achieved by the tilting locking piece, located under the barrel, much like the Beretta 92. The return spring is located around the barrel. Frame is made from steel upper part and the polymer grip and the trigger guard. Slide is made of steel. Double action trigger featured automatic Glock-like trigger safety, plus internal firing pin safety and the automated grip safety. No manual safeties are provided on the gun. Until the very recent production guns, SR-1 also lacked the slide stop. The external hammer can be put on the half-cock position for increased safety. It must be noted, that the DA mode will fork only if the hammer is on half-cock. The gun is fed using steel, double stack magazines that hold 18 rounds of 9x21 mm ammo." 

My God that's hideous.

That grip safety is horribly done, and I hope you get frequent flyer miles for all that trigger travel.

Gross

Where do you put the water in?

Lol.. slav-shit gonna slav-shit.

Looks like something Kel-Tec would make.

New ammo - Interesting

New pistol -

Eeeewwwwwwwwww...


Mak 2.0 with more capacity and worse features.

The MP443 Grach and border guards still use the Makarov

Is that the best they can come up with?     They should just buy an existing handgun already in production....Sig, Glock, Cz to name a few.

North Korea opted for just stealing rather than buy free upload image

Remington got a contract.

Good for them!

Well the good news is it won't ever be a safe queen upload image

Love the owl head logo . . .

So, a 9mm not quite largo pistol with a 200 meter effective range?  Russian magic?

1378 fps

Gawddamn!! That wretched thing is hideous!

Hi-Point does a better job of fit and finish....come to think of it, Harbor freight Chinese hammers have better fit and finish.
I have handled and fired shit from the Khyber pass, that was made using rocks and hammers, that were assembled with more thought.

It must truly suck, to be wearing Ivans uniform these days.

That claim was repeated in this January article, followed by "Although not classified, it is known exclusively by experts" Steven Seagall could tell you how but then he'd have to kill you.http://rbth.com/defence/2016/01/05/the-sps-the-gun-used-by-vladimir-putins-bodyguards_555455 </a>uploading images" />

They've been saying this for decades. They have yet to get a pistol adopted in any great number.

They claim this time it's for real - part of their 2020 plan http://m.sputniknews.com/russia/20160814/1044256113/russia-army-rearmament.html

They also claim their economy isn't in a tailspin, their military didn't invade Ukraine, and Putin got his job through fair elections and not by having all his opponents assassinated.



I'll believe it when I see it.



 

Seems like Russia is banking on oil staying at least $40 barrel for an extended period and increased trade with China in 2017 and beyond. http://www.cnbc.com/2016/08/14/oil-prices-edge-up-on-potential-producer-action-to-prop-up-market.html

Why not this?

that looks damn nice



The wood back/side strap gives it just a touch of class. I bet it feels nice in the hand as well.





 

Last I heard they needed oil above $90 to keep afloat. I doubt that has changed all that much, unless I'm thinking of a different commie petro power (entirely possible).



 

Did Remington design that?

Yeah what happened to that one.

1. They seem enamored with the 9x21 over the 9x19                                                                           2. Holds 2 or 3 less rounds                                                                                                   3. They claim it's GtG in arctic temps

That looks a hell of a lot better than the gun in OP.

I'm going by their press statements since Dec 2015 but as you pointed out, they're not the most honest and transparent nation http://www.upi.com/Business_News/Energy-Industry/2016/06/10/Russia-sees-economic-growth-as-imminent/9781465562916/

That bore axis

<snickers>

That's cutting edge shit right there.

LOL

If you go on an internet journey of their Russian websites, they truly believe it has enormous potential I did a similar journey on Chinese websites following their small arms testing, development and selection. I'll just politely say I don't concur with the PLA's findings.

Looks like the product of a Kel-Tec/CZ52 raping...

Forget the Russkie army, I want one!
Any chance of this gun being imported to the US?

Borrow 1 from Larry Vickers?

Iver Johnson lives!
