Kalashnikov: Lebedev's pistol tests will be completed before the end of the year

Testing Lebedev pistol (PL-14) should be completed in the current year, reports TASS a message from the general director of the Kalashnikov concern, Alexei Krivoruchko.

“Now we are working within the framework of the technical assignment in the interests of the Ministry of Defense, we plan to finish this year. We hope that next year it will be produced, ”the general director said on the air of Ekho Moskvy.

The pistol may also be ordered by the Ministry of the Interior

“The new pistol chambered for the 9x19 mm is distinguished by its small thickness - from the 21 mm in the front part to the 28 mm in the area of ​​the handle. The two-sided arrangement and configuration of the "PL-14" controls allow it to be used with both the right and left hand, and the characteristics weapons make it comfortable in terms of recoil, throwing after a shot and quickly returning to the aiming line ”, - told in the concern.

For the first time the gun was shown at the Army-2015 exhibition.

“The modified and modified version will be presented at the Army-2016 forum,” Krivoruchko said.

Russian rework of "Glock-17".
It would be better if the GSH-18 were brought to modern requirements. All in all, a new frame needs to be done with the Euro-guide under the LCC and other mutaten.

said the CEO on air of Echo of Moscow.

Since when did Echo become interested in gunsmiths? Oh, it's not good ...

Russian rework of "Glock-17".

Yeah! And yes, their color is the same!))))

... khe, khe, if the trellis is an officer’s personal weapon - what's the difference with which to shoot - you won’t miss tea in your head, or is it not fashionable with PM?

[Izotovp]

It seems to me that in modern conditions every soldier (at least from a sergeant) should be able to re-equip himself with a gun. But in modern conditions, PM is not enough. Even PMM. The cartridge is rather weak on sib.

Of course, they had less Kevlar and ceramics. PM was developed when there were not so many bronikov))).

Armor-piercing cartridge 9 × 18 mm PBM (for PM): 418 J against 273 J with a standard 9 mm PM bullet at a range of 10 m

418 J - not enough?

[Izotovp]

This cartridge is for PMM. Simple PM does not withstand it. But ... the length of the sighting line, the ease of operation, ... not so much it already withstands competition with more modern models. Although PMM, I personally consider it a fairly successful gun if it is retrofitted with a collimator.

Russian rework of "Glock-17".

You say too ... Although there are some design solutions that are available in both models of pistols. The PL-14 still has to show itself. Glock 17 has long been in operation around the world and positive reviews about it are many times greater than negative. I hope the PL-14 will not lag behind its Austrian counterpart in positive qualities (and Glock really has a lot of them). The only question that I would like to ask the PL-14 developers is, Guys and there was no other ammunition like 9 * 19 ??? Yes, it is widespread in the world, and it is much better in terms of performance characteristics than the domestic 9 * 18, BUT the leading gunsmiths of the world and many new developed calibers, such as 5,7 × 28 mm and 10x22 / .40 S&W, have long been trying to get away from this caliber. are very successful for a certain range of tasks.
Among the domestic ammunition, one can distinguish both excellent ammunition: 9 × 21 mm and the old proven one (and still remaining in large quantities)
7,62 × 25 mm) ammunition. But no, we are following the path of accepting the "aging" ammunition 9 * 19, not only ammunition is a potential enemy, and this is depressing ...

[Pereira]

I'm interested in something else. PL-14 due to what should Glock surpass? And if it does not surpass, then why is it needed? Isn't it easier to release Glock under license?
I understand patriotism and all that. But for the sake of high-quality weapons, you can tolerate.

[Grandfather Luka]

The task to surpass anyone is not worth it. There is a need for new weapons that meet certain requirements.

[Pereira]

That is, the new sample is obviously worse?

[vic58]

Have you shot from Glock?

[Grandfather Luka]

It’s probably not worth making an arrow out of yourself.

[Izotovp]

9 * 21 was born by order of the FSB. The army for a long time could not decide on the caliber of the pistol, the factories want to ensure the profitability of the production of new pistols, so they need a shaft, production volume, and only in the domestic market where the pistol is still considered as either a special weapon of anti-terrorists or as an officer weapon and very rarely when the second weapon of the infantry contract soldier is small. And in the foreign market, it drives 9 * 19 according to a combination of factors: weight and size, price, power ....
By the way, to make a modern armor-piercing 7,62 * 25 would be interesting precisely for army and non-police purposes

[VP]

As far as I know, they made 9mm macaroni because of the fact that in a melee after the arrival of such a bullet no one needs additives, it immediately knocks down. And at 7,62 TTs according to the experience of the Second World War, the stopping force was not always enough, after the shot the enemy received it could still answer before rolling his eyes.
Therefore, among versions 7 and 9, they settled on the second.
So the army nine is better.

[Izotovp]

It was better on soft targets. In terms of stopping action, then it's better .45))). But there are fewer of them in the store. And on sib, "nails" - small-caliber armor-piercing ammunition with improvements in ballistics work better.

[Alex777]

SOCOM 45 caliber and took the H&K Mk 23. And the muffler is screwed well and there is no need to shoot 2 times.
The return is less than that of Makarov, 12 rounds. A sight for sore eyes ...

[Izotovp]

I agree, but it's special forces. And an army pistol from foreign cars would be better hk ucp or fn five-seven. It's just that if we are talking about a police pistol, this is one thing, about special forces-another, about infantry-the third. Let’s then divide the scope. The same sniper needs a silencer, but not an infantry one.

What is interesting is the US, they buy trunks for their own. There is still a district budget, which is quite rich in its own way. Kolt M4, for the Ponti Tomi mini gun. State Texas.

[Izotovp]

Then his choice is understandable. Pure police, although not poor))). US Army men also complained about the insufficient stopping effect of 9 * 19 in Iraq. Asked .45. But in fact, they also worked for soft goals, not for the army. Primarily. Against the partisans.

In another world where the average carcass weight is 75, the nine is the most.

According to the Glocks, in recent times they often use the 19th, comparable to the PM and the 26th, something like PSM.

In general, it will be difficult for the Kalashnikov concern to compete with pistols and revolvers in the foreign market. Only by the possible cheapness. The market is "packed".
The only solution is PM, modernized. A comfortable handle, preferably made of rubber. Otherwise, for convenience, you wrap the slippery "cheeks" on the handle with black resin tape or medical fabric adhesive tape. The same CIS countries will buy. Here the caliber must be increased to 9x19 ,The most common.

After all, the Germans had attempts with Walther PP Super, then they created Walther P-5. The truth is with a short stroke of the barrel.

Therefore, the stroke length of the APS is longer and the pressure manages to decrease further. And even that is a moderator.

So - the ПЯ and ГШ-18 are already in service, and the first one is criticized by everyone for constant delays (he personally observed a series of delays - about 1 delay for every 2 magazines), and the second for rude execution of the product and tossing during the shot, yes and the main feature of the General Staff is completely different, namely, the possibility of penetrating armor plates, which is not entirely specific to the tasks of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If the PL-14 will be deprived of the diseases of its predecessors, while retaining their strengths (ergonomics and lightness due to the use of composite materials GSH) in combination with an increased relative to the PM store, then we can see a single gun for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Defense, while export potential.

It should be understood that the civilian weapons market is primarily an external aesthetics, secondly - the price, and only thirdly - its characteristics. Pistols in the United States are bought by civilian buyers with heart and soul, and only secondarily with their heads. Given that everything is in order for the PL-14 with 1 and 3 factors, they will put the right price - they will take it from the USA.

And I liked it, a beautiful machine. There is something in him that is needed ... To shoot from him, and the hand stretches. No guys, this is not a Glock or a glitch. And he does not look like him. The fact that the "muzzle" is square is not an indicator, this is what the Walters sin and Zig Sauer - this is a fashion.
A pistol seems interesting.
As for Gesha (GSH-18), he entered the service half-baked and remained undeveloped. The idea was not bad, but Gryazev and Shipunov made a small aircraft cannon instead of a pistol. Everything is good except for practicality - there are many holes around the muzzle and a frankly unsuccessful magazine, which is far from always (and almost never) does not fit 18 rounds, really 15. And that would still ride after the PM with its single-row magazine. But here, just an attempt to follow the Glokovsky way failed - the pistol is too light and not for everyone "in the hands" - without a habit it comes across badly from it, of course it was necessary to bring it to mind. There is a lot of rational in the GSH-18, but this is a concept that has entered service, and it's a pity that they did not bring it.

Own mass is not enough to absorb the toss. Not balanced. Work necessary! Perhaps, change the angle of the handle from the normal, increase. Finalization of the store, respectively.

I think "PL-14" is a continuation of this one: a Russian-made 9mm Strizh pistol, a prototype of the 4th series, prepared for testing for the RF Armed Forces. June 2012.

[senima56]

This "Swift" is a detective story! This pistol was created at the request of our special forces and taking into account all the comments! There were several TV programs (I Serve the Fatherland, Military Secret) where everyone praised this pistol (I emphasize, everything !!!!), even the current adviser to the general director of the Kalashnikov concern, Mr. Kirisenko, enthusiastically praised and demonstrated it. The pistol was good before ..... state tests! Which he (for some reason!?!?) "Failed with boredom"! It somehow turns out strange: the pistol suits everyone, but the test does not pass. But the notorious PYA passed the test .... but nobody likes it! By the way, "Strizh" is successfully sold abroad, but our "specialists" are not satisfied. Maybe because "Strizh" is not entirely domestic, but together with the Italians? And then suddenly (or "not suddenly") PL-14 appears. Domestic development. I am not against this pistol, it may be even better than the Swift, but !!!!! "Strizh" was created in a few months and (I repeat) is already being successfully sold abroad! And the PL-14 will be tested only this year !!! And only in 2017, maybe production will begin !!! Most likely the reason is that Arsenal is a private company, it is interested in quickly creating and offering its own pistol to the market. And Kalashnikov (with all due respect) is a state company and it is interested in receiving money from the State for development (2014), demonstration (2015), tests (2016) ... Time is running out, money is dripping!

[cat hippopotamus]

Cartridge 9x19, the most common cartridge in the world. Apparently, they also suggest for export.

I am confused by the fact that this pistol is made by the Kalashnikov concern. No matter how it turns out that he will be quickly approved and put into service, the contractor is blinded, after which Izhmash, having scored on the quality, will begin to rivet them without a synopsis in thousands ... As a result, the same baida will come out that with the Yarygin pistol. Can we get out of this vicious circle or as usual ???

O-O-Very impressed with a small height above the arm (low landing), I WANT!

[ty60]

A low landing combined with a deflection of the handle back with proper balancing directs the recoil force into the shooter's straight hand. The principle of sports pistols. Sides must be punched in the army, police operations must be stopped. Everything universal is always flawed.

[Forever so]

what's the point of discussing ?? if it had been said that everyone and anyone can acquire and use for self-defense and law enforcement, and so, well, they will arm the Ministry of Internal Affairs and cho ?? As they put everything with PMs, so they will put it with a swan. But the crime will be happy, flat, inconspicuous.

You are absolutely right! All This is beautiful - "Lebedevs", "Glocks" - but it is ABSOLUTELY meaningless!

Until the "democratic power" gives the People the Right to Real Self-Defense, while the acting judicial and legal system is associated by the Majority as "the highest form of uncontrolled banditry", forgive Honest Cops (Police) and Lawyers !, NOTHING GOOD WILL BE in the Country!

[Trigger-Happy]

I fully support that law-abiding people should have the right to self-defense. But here

anyone and anyone can purchase and use

I do not agree, in this case we run the risk of getting shootings on the streets of cities with the participation of inadequacies. The state should build a working system in which cases of the sale of weapons to people with a sick head, crime, etc. will be excluded. And at this stage of development of this, in principle, it is not possible, any gangster dibil with money becomes a law-abiding citizen. And in the end, again we run into: people for the state, not the state for people!

The gun is unusual in appearance.
Probably because in front of the trunk
large. But the "hook" from behind is somehow annoying.

[nodaserg]

The gun looks more like a GSh. Outwardly beautiful. But that’s what is alarming 1, as often we have started to take pistols into service. How then 2 surnames Krivoruchko for the gunsmith will deal with spare parts ... alarming

Oh come on you ...
We had an astronaut with the name Padalka and nothing, normally flew.
Personally, I know the bomb engineer with the name Kosyakov, and also doesn’t explode anything extra.

It seems to me that in modern conditions every soldier (at least from a sergeant) should be able to re-equip himself with a gun. But in modern conditions, PM is not enough. Even PMM. The cartridge is rather weak on sib.

..a combat officer needs a pistol: to suppress panic, for hand-to-hand combat, for shooting at a short distance (at home, in trenches). These are all extreme circumstances and unlikely circumstances in the modern world. An officer is a commander and it is not his business to run ahead of a platoon or company with a pistol in his hand. It's stupid to talk about larger connections. The special units have their own "cockroaches" .. They will get everything that is required for their work .. The police are up to "snot" PM .. He has sufficient stopping power - more than that of TT ..
