More good and different pistols!
But comparative tests are necessary before being put into service.
Although an army pistol is not what the police or the FSB need.
So, that "adopt" can be several times.
For different services.

I confess that I do not fully know the rules of gun ownership in Russia, but I am surprised by a whole galaxy of new and not entirely different pistols.
I wonder about their potential for success, whether export or domestic.
They are rather dubious (especially after the tender for the army in favor of the "Udav" was resolved), although, of course, they often show the capabilities of Russian designers or factories.

This pistol has a very "specific" circle of customers, and the price tag is not childish at all, that is, it is not even considered as an army pistol! It may be quite interesting for special forces (under Solutions of certain problems), shooters - Athletes! Pistol - Sports !!!

we understand another term sports pistol - for me it was always 22LR, but here it is more like IPSC. The recipient group is small and dominated by other companies.
It is not always a matter of technical characteristics - fashion, advertising, etc. are important.
I wish this weapon all the best, but I don't expect much commercial success.

And what class does Efimov's PE-10 pistol in caliber .40 S&W (10x22) belong to?

Although from the very beginning Evgeny Yefimov designed this pistol PE10 in accordance with the IPSC requirements, for me it is a kind of "sport" designed to imitate the use of this weapon for non-sporting purposes.
There are, of course, modified manipulators, they have specific features that distinguish them from combat weapons, but they are still common central fire weapons.

Moreover, the existence of the PE-10 further undermines the economic rationale for another IPSC pistol - is the need really that great? Maybe PE-10 didn't work?

Thanks for the information.

I think the concern is looking for a niche where to make money. Although not a big penny (compared to the Army), but still money.
And according to Efimov, from the information that there is nete, it releases its products on the sly. If the price, as promised, drops to 70 thousand rubles, then, probably, production will have to be expanded.
In addition, he also made a pistol in caliber 9x19 (PE-119)

A kilogram of 100 grams in the standard version, a lot of glass for constant wear.
Even today I read that the Mayak plant has developed a multi-caliber Kalashnikov

[potap6509]

Guys, what kind of adoption, what kind of wearing, this is a SPORTS pistol, for athletes.

Why isn't the Poloz being tested? It was specially created as a "lightweight version for law enforcement agencies"!

[John22]

And there was also Lebedev's pistol, recently advertised as an outstanding sports one. And now everything is quiet. Shooting from a pistol in the Russian Federation is not encouraged and is expensive.

[Catfish]

“Lebedev” seems to be undergoing a “run-in” in law enforcement agencies, but somehow it all drags on for too long, with “Boa” they immediately decided. Lobby?
