MPL pistol "Lynx" on the eve of adoption

84

In the near future, the Rys self-loading MPL pistol will be adopted by the National Guard. Recently, this product has successfully completed state tests and received all the necessary recommendations. In the near future, the development organization plans to start mass production of such weapons... The first MPL will roll off the assembly line this year.

Latest news


On March 9, the Kalashnikov concern announced a meeting of the state commission that monitored the development work on the creation of a promising pistol. The event was attended by representatives of the customer (Rosgvardia), as well as the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSO, who participated in the development program.



It is reported that in February the MPL pistol completed state tests. The product has confirmed the declared characteristics and compliance with the customer's requirements. The State Commission approved the test results and issued a recommendation for the adoption of the pistol by the Russian Guard.

In the near future, the contracting authority will have to carry out all the remaining procedures and adopt a new model for service. An order for serial production is also expected. Concern "Kalashnikov" informs that the series will be adjusted at the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant. The production lines will be created and prepared by the end of this year.

The successful completion of state tests puts an end to the development work that has been going on since 2017. Kalashnikov notes the importance of this event. In addition, the concern hopes for a great future for the new development. The pistol was created according to the requirements of the Russian Guard, but it may be of interest for other structures with similar needs.

Building on existing


The Lebedev modular pistol has been developed since 2017 by order of the Russian Guard. The existing self-loading pistol designed by D. Lebedev was taken as the basis for this product; it should have been finalized taking into account the wishes of the customer and the features of future operation. As far as we know, the main part of the nodes remained the same, and the implemented improvements made it possible to talk about a modular approach.


MPL in basic configuration

The development of the MPL product did not take long. It was presented for the first time at an open event in the spring of 2019, at the same time the main design features and applied modifications became known. In addition, it was announced that after passing the tests and confirming the declared characteristics, the new weapon will go into series and go to units.

The MPL pistol is considered as a modern replacement for the existing PM products. With all its advantages, the Makarov pistol no longer meets the modern requirements of a number of departments and organizations, which is why it needs to be replaced. PL-14/15 and its modular version, in turn, were created in the recent past based on the operating experience of previous samples and taking into account modern requirements and trends.

Modular approach


In design, the new MPL is basically similar to the base pistol. At the same time, some new assemblies and parts are used with the possibility of replacement - this makes a modular system from a simple pistol with the ability to quickly change the configuration. First of all, this will allow you to effectively solve various problems. In addition, improved ergonomics and product performance are provided.

The most visible manifestation of the modular architecture is the interchangeable barrel. Depending on the needs of the shooter, a standard rifled barrel 112 mm long or an elongated piece with a thread for a device to reduce the sound of firing (PSZS) can be used. A pistol with a shorter barrel is considered the standard configuration. The CCD version is called a special purpose configuration.

The design of the MPL allows the use of different types of trigger mechanisms. It was reported about the possibility of installing single and double action trigger and striker type USM. There is also the possibility of introducing an automatic fire mode, which will radically change the firing capabilities of the pistol.


A modular approach is also implemented in the field of "body kit". On the frame of the pistol, in front of the trigger guard, there is a guide for mounting the necessary equipment. In addition, the MPL variant for special tasks receives new equipment to be placed on a fighter's outfit.

At the same time, the Lynx MPL is based on the proven design of D. Lebedev's previous pistols. They all have a traditional architecture with a movable breech cover. Different versions of these weapons used aluminum and plastic frames. Plastic is used in the design of the new MPL. All samples of the series use the 9x19 mm Parabellum cartridge.

Automation is based on the use of the recoil of the bolt, which engages with the barrel. Locking is carried out by engaging the upper part of the breech with the liner ejection window. The base for the PL-14/15 is a double-action trigger type trigger, but later alternative designs appeared. There is a safety catch with flags on both sides of the weapon.

The organization-developer indicates the strengths of D. Lebedev's pistols. It is distinguished by good ergonomics and ease of use by right-handers and left-handers, safe operation, as well as high reliability. So, even with the use of reinforced 7N21 cartridges, the design resource exceeds 10 thousand shots.

Family perspectives


The new pistols of the Kalashnikov concern are being tested and confirm the declared characteristics. In August 2020, it was reported about the successful completion of tests of a compact PLC pistol, performed in the interests of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the start of trial operation. Now, with positive results, state tests of modular MPL for the Russian Guard have been carried out. In the near future, other structures may show interest in the new family of pistols, which will lead to the start of the next tests.


"Lynx" in different versions

At least two Russian departments are already showing serious interest in D. Lebedev's pistols and are planning to purchase them. Such contracts will appear in the near future, and Kalashnikov is already planning to launch production. The observed processes are of great interest. The fact is that new pistols are considered as a replacement for the old PM. This is not the first attempt to replace it, but the previous ones have not been fully successful. Perhaps this time the results of rearmament will be more successful.

Recently, the PLC pistol was shown for the first time at a foreign exhibition. The development organization begins to promote such weapons on the international market, and this should lead to the appearance of foreign orders. It is quite possible that other members of the family will enter the market for the PLC, incl. modular MPL.

In general, at the moment, the situation with pistols designed by D. Lebedev looks good enough and encourages optimism. Several new samples were developed at once. They are being tested and prepared for adoption. During the launch of the series and development in operation, certain difficulties are possible, but they should not have a fatal effect on the course of rearmament. It looks like this time the process of replacing the old PM will lead to the desired results.

    Personally, I suspect that the MPL is being adopted, because it is made of iron! The guards will pass it on from generation to generation. laughing
    But seriously, that is, the GSh, it is much easier and it is much more comfortable to carry it, despite the fact that the probability of use is low, it is much more comfortable. I do not concern either the reliability or the quality of the workmanship, I judge strictly by weight.

      GSh-18 machine is very good, but not for field conditions! For the police (PPP there or traffic cops - that's what you need). But for hidden wearing by operatives it is too big (both in length and in width and in height) - it sticks out more than the PM. At least, one friend of the operas, who shot him, said so: "He would have a smaller magazine - 12 rounds, it would be much better!"
      And, as for "Lebedev", the PLC - in terms of weight and dimensions - almost identical PM.

        Let's look at the characteristics of the PLC, which were previously laid out in the public domain. And we see there that the PLC is actually much larger than the PM (almost 2,5 cm longer). At the same time, the barrel of the PLC is even shorter than that of the PM - 92 mm !!! (112 is at full size). How such could have been built, I do not understand. On the face of an irrational design. If this has not been fixed in the latest versions of the pistol, then this is just a guard with understandable consequences for muzzle energy. The Glock 19 is one centimeter shorter than the PLC, while its barrel length is 102 mm. So compare.

        Fussing with the trigger only double action is also past the cash register. This type of trigger on pistols never really took off anywhere in the world. The only plus of Lebedev's pistol is its small thickness.

            Yes. This was the main initial version with a hidden trigger, they did it initially, only then the striker version appeared. Lebedev himself said that the trigger "only double action" was taken as a basis under the influence of Kirisenko, the former sportsman-shooter. What option they end up pushing into government agencies, I do not know, but I'm almost sure that the notorious DAO. The single-action version mentioned in the article was developed purely for the sports version.

      ======
      The PMM, like the PM, has the main drawback - a weak cartridge. Even reinforced cartridge 9x19 PMM with a light bullet and reinforced powder charge - not capable of penetrating "armor". Another disadvantage of the reinforced cartridge is that its (out of stupidity) can be shoved into the store of an ordinary MP, which can lead to extremely unpleasant consequences. And so, the PMM did not have any special (fundamental advantages) in comparison with the PM. Therefore, it did not receive wide distribution ...

        Generally, PMM is produced and purchased up to the present time. Recently, the state procurement site in terms of weapons has been closed from public access.
        In 2015-2016 (when it was opened) there was an order for 800 PMM pistols for the FSIN. Around the same time, at the PMM for the FSO.

          this did not always happen - nevertheless, PM - PMu strife.
          We have a very different quality of weapons of different years of production, and there were pistols that calmly fired a non-standard cartridge, and there were those that tore off their fingers.
          Since there were no solutions to the first Russian problem, and there is still no - they decided, out of sin, to stop the production of reinforced cartridges.
          And then, some zealous ones also decided to cover up the PMM ...

        Add:
        In Russia, the 9x17 cartridge has been produced since 1994 and is known as 9x17 "K" or "Kurz", which means "short" in German. The cartridge is filled with gunpowder for sporting cartridges of the CCN 22 / 4,87 brand - the first letter means the purpose of the gunpowder (C - for small arms), the second - the shape of the powder grain (C - spheroid), the third - the presence of nitroglycerin (H), 22 - thickness of the burning arch (0,22 mm), 4,87 - specific heat of combustion MJ / kg. The bullet consists of a steel clad with tombak and a lead core. After the certification of the 9x17 cartridge in Russia, it was adopted as a service ammunition, and a modification of the PM pistol under the designation IZH-71, service pistols "P-96S", "OTs-21S" ("Kid"), service revolvers "R-92S", "RSA", "RSL" and other models of service weapons. In Russia, cartridges 9x17 "K" are found with copper-clad steel sleeves, brass-plated and with a phosphate-polymer coating. Cartridges are packed in cardboard boxes of 35 or 50 pieces.

                  By the way, .357_Magnum also did not impress in terms of recoil, although it was "threatened" that it almost jumps out of hand. But the gas breakthrough impressed. Of the revolvers I consider suitable - only "fractures" of the MP-412 Rex type, but with large cartridges it is better to have the barrel in front of the lower chamber.
                  You can also make a pistol under .357_Magnum - the cartridge is about 5,7x28 in length, for a single-row magazine for 7-10 rounds - the most that.

                    for rifle cartridges - revolvers and single-shot pistols

                    not true, there are even bolt-ons with magazines of 5-10 rounds. usually made from rifles. They shorten the barrel, cut the butt and put the pistol grip. And everything is direct at the factory., I forgot, the shutter is mirrored in order to reload with the left hand. American cut laughing

                    duck there is RSh-12 with a cartridge 12,7x55. Any bear ****. Recently I saw a video of a civilian carbine based on this revolver.
                    In the USA, such revolvers and pistols are worn on the chest, across. the weight is on the shoulders and not on the belt.

                    already has Desert Eagle has a modification. With a light frame it weighs 1,7 kg, and with a steel frame all 2. Capacity - 9 rounds. Watch the shooting video - you don't want to. the easiest way (in terms of weight and size) is a single-barreled fracture. And if for bears, then for Alaska they make special models of revolvers for different cartridges, including those specially designed on the basis of rifle cartridges. One of these Cruz described in "Hops and Klondike", like in book 3.

                      They are heavy, though. Although 12,7x55 is better than 9mm, albeit a re-magnum.

                        not a sawn-off shotgun, this is a pistol with a swivel-type bolt on the basis of a rifle, I will even give the bolt a mirror to open it with my left hand, and not with my right, as in bolts. And remember the Reiter pistols. There, the barrel length reached 400 millimeters, but it was precisely a pistol.

                        Otherwise, it turns out that a shotgun with a pistol grip is also a pistol.

    Why is there 7H21 and not 7H31 everywhere? The latter seems to be more "advanced" ... Or not? Can anyone explain? I just stumbled upon an article somewhere where the cartridges were compared and it seems like the 7N21 and the breakdown action is lower and there are problems with ricocheting.

    In general, nothing new, another replacement of PM (s)
    It makes sense only if it surpasses the PM in reliability, and so it will remain a single one ala GSh-18 ...

    For several years in a row I have heard "a pistol to replace the PM"! Since 2003, when the PYa, SPS and GSh-18 were adopted. Last year "Boa constrictor", "Aspid", "Poloz". Now here is the MPL (PLC). "And things are still there" - in the PM Army! Until I see a new pistol in the holsters of active officers, all this is just another chatter!

      most likely because the other is really simply not needed.
      The PM as a personal weapon is quite suitable, although it is morally outdated, and the combat use of a pistol, when the enemy troops are saturated with automatic weapons, is a very dubious pleasure.

      And also "Swift" really, really wanted to "replace the PM".
      And if you count before 2003, then there were several more pistols ("Varyag", "Bagheera"), some are even in service, and are purchased (P-96M) or purchased, and are available in some units ("Berdysh") .. ...

        I agree with you. I just didn’t "load" readers with a "full list". I myself have been closely following the topic "Modern Russian small arms" for a long time. As for "Swift" (aka "Strike-one"), this is generally a "sore" topic. I remember how he was praised and "licked" on all channels and programs like "Military Secret" and "Serving the Fatherland". They said that it was "created by order of the special forces, taking into account their wishes." And this pistol suited everyone, and everyone liked it ....., but suddenly, for some reason (??? !!!), it did not pass the State Tests! Yes, the pistol was created jointly by the Italians, but the pistol turned out to be excellent and now it is being successfully sold abroad. I understand perfectly well that the Ministry of Defense wants to have its own, 100% domestic pistol, so as not to depend on sanctions, etc. But why not announce it right away? And how long did it take to create the next "PM replacement" ?! And how much will be spent on rearmament. I am amazed and annoyed by the slowness of the current designers. If at one time Kalashnikov, Korolev and others worked the same way as the current ones, they would still go in the Army with PPSh, and launch Belka with Strelka into space!

    "With all its advantages, the Makarov pistol no longer meets the modern requirements of a number of departments and organizations, which is why it needs to be replaced." A pistol for the military is an auxiliary weapon, and I wonder what special requirements effective managers from the army have come up with and what place, the desired characteristics of the pistol, will it take in modern combat? PM was created as a "police" weapon and in this form, it fully meets the requirements so far. To change weapons for the sake of the very fact of replacement and profit from this, it is to change an awl for soap of unknown quality. A pistol is needed for the needs of the military, but it must be Simple, reliable, relatively light and a magazine with a capacity of 12-18 rounds, with the corresponding penetrating action of the cartridge. And this is not a replacement for PM, but a product for the military! But the resource of 10 shots ... is rather weak.
