The Makarov Traumatic Pistol is a semi-automatic pistol model. Designed on the basis of the PM ninth-caliber combat pistol .
General information
In the traumatic version of the gun, the original rifled barrel is replaced by a smooth one, equipped with weakening grooves and a baffle. All the differences from the combat pistol in the traumatic version are aimed at eliminating the possibility of firing live ammunition. Traumatic pistol Makarov shoots with rubber bullets.
The appearance of this pistol on the Russian market has interested many users of self-defense weapons. Firstly, it became possible to purchase a pistol firing with rubber bullets, which is outwardly completely identical to Makarov’s legendary combat pistol. Secondly, these pistols represent a kind of collection value, because the traumatic Makarov pistol was made from combat pistols of the fifties. And in Soviet times, for the manufacture of Makarov pistols used better and more durable steel. PM, made today, cannot even come close in quality with the models of those times.
How does the traumatic pistol Makarov (90 j)
The principle of operation of Makarov’s injuries is to release the free shutter. The barrel is locked due to the mass of the shutter and the force of the return spring. In the traumatic model, the spring is weakened and the barrel diameter is reduced.
The pistol is equipped with a self-cocking trigger mechanism, which allows only single firing. To the left of the shutter is a fuse that blocks the firing pin when turned on.
Advantages and disadvantages
In addition to reliability and high build quality, the traumatic Makarov pistol is an effective weapon of self-defense. In terms of self-defense, the pros and cons of this pistol are almost the same as its combat version. Among the shortcomings, one can single out a rather large stroke of the trigger and the fact that it takes a lot of effort to press it. The small angle of the pistol grip may not seem convenient and ergonomic to everyone, although this is just a matter of habit. A narrow and low front sight, as well as a rear sight with a small slot, adversely affects the accuracy of shooting. But if you want to achieve high accuracy, it is quite possible, compensating for the shortcomings of the sight training.
Now consider the benefits of this weapon. The main advantage of the pistol, both in the combat and in the traumatic version, is the highest level of reliability. Traumatic pistol Makarov has the best qualities of a short-barreled weapon. It is compact, durable, easy to maintain and handle, safe to use. As a weapon for constant use in self-defense, the traumatic Makarov pistol is ideal. You can feel confident with him, knowing that he will not fail in a dangerous situation. The only thing I would like to change is the power of the cartridges, especially since the strength of the gun barrel is quite suitable for this. If you want to buy a Makarov traumatic gun, its price ranges from 15 to 20 thousand rubles.
