What is the ejector used for? The main parts of the PM and their purpose. Loading and unloading the PM pistol

Makarov pistol, PM, Makarov, Makarov pistol - under what designations this weapon does not occur. For almost 70 years, PM has been known to many residents of Russia, the former Soviet republics and Eastern European countries as one of the main elements of the equipment of military personnel and law enforcement officers. Not a single film of the Soviet and post-Soviet period is complete without the participation of this legendary pistol.

Often, the PM is criticized pejoratively as an inaccurate and unreliable weapon. But such a conclusion is made on the basis of pistol samples that have lived a long and difficult life, and have shot more than 10 thousand shots. A serviceable Makarov in the hands of a good shooter is a formidable and accurate weapon, which is confirmed by many years of experience in its use in various conditions.

History of creation

The creation of a new version of the weapon began shortly after the end of World War II, which showed the shortcomings of the TT and . The condition of the competition, held in 1947-48, was the creation of a pistol with a design similar to that of the 1929 model.

Initially, two calibers were provided for weapons - 7.65 and 9 mm, but the first was quickly abandoned. Under the 9 mm caliber, a domestic PM cartridge with a size of 9 * 18 was developed, which was slightly larger and more powerful than the "Walter" original.

The main advantages of such a cartridge were a greater stopping effect (compared to 7.62 * 25 from TT) and the possibility of using a simplified automation scheme with a fixed barrel and a freely moving shutter in the Makarov pistol.

The developments of many designers-gunsmiths were announced for the competition, among which were the famous names of F.V. Tokareva, S.A. Korovina, S.G. Simonov and many others. N.F. also presented his project. Fedorov.


Pistols from Walter, Mauser, Beretta and a number of others acted as opponents to these designs.

According to all test results, the design of the 9 mm Makarov pistol turned out to be the best, which was recommended for mass production, as well as for adoption under the designation PM. The designer was able to perfectly calculate the relative position of the cartridge relative to the chamber and the optimal geometry of the mating parts.

Thanks to this, it was possible to completely avoid the problem of jamming in the inclined part of the chamber. Since 1951, supplies of PM 9 mm for the needs of the army and police began. Thus began the gradual displacement of TT pistols.

Composite parts

A set of accessories was attached to the pistol, consisting of a spare clip, a set for cleaning and wiping parts, as well as a holster with a safety strap. The device of the pistol is quite simple, due to which it consists of only fourteen main parts.

Complete disassembly will divide the weapon into a larger number of parts - 32.

The PM pistol includes the following key components:

  • One-piece frame including barrel and trigger guard. The barrel is installed with an interference fit with the help of a press into the body part of the frame and is additionally fixed with a pin. This node is non-separable. Some pistols were equipped with frames of a special lightweight design - with several drilled holes.
  • The bolt part, which includes a striker, a safety element and an ejector. The last detail serves to remove empty, spent cartridges.
  • The spring that carries out the return stroke of the shutter.
  • The mechanism that is responsible for the functionality of the drummer.
  • Facing handle, which is attached to the frame with a screw.
  • Shutter delay.
  • Interchangeable magazine located inside the handle.

Many parts used in the design of the PM have a dual purpose. For example, shutter lag parts are used as a device for reflecting cartridge cases. The mainspring, due to its special shape, is used to support the cocking lever, as a sear drive spring, to retract the trigger when the weapon is set to the fuse. The lower part of this spring is used for the magazine latch mechanism.

Scheme of work

After installing the magazine, the shutter pushes the cartridge into the chamber cavity. The cartridge is loaded from the tapered upper part of the clip. Then the PM is put on the fuse.

To carry out this operation, a flag switch is installed on the left side of the shutter. This device removes the trigger from the cocked position and completely blocks its movement. At the same time, the trigger element of the pistol is also fixed. An additional latch on the safety mechanism completely blocks the shutter. When carried in a holster, the PM must always be with the fuse on.

Before starting firing, the PM must be removed from the fuse. The pistol is taken in the right hand, and the flag moves down, where it becomes in the "fire" mode. In this case, the pistol trigger is automatically set to a special safety platoon.


Pressing the front of the trigger for the first time requires a lot of effort - about 3.5 kg. This is due to the fact that when this is pressed, the trigger is cocked.

The next shots require less effort (no more than 1.5 kg), since the trigger will be cocked by the power of powder gases. For more accurate aiming on the first shot, the trigger has a manual cocking function. At the same time, it is moved with a finger down, and the trigger goes a little deeper, towards the handle.

If necessary, the trigger is removed from the combat mode manually. To do this, the shooter pushes the trigger, while simultaneously holding back the movement of the trigger with his thumb. After releasing the hook, it will take the safety position. Due to the traction system, he will put the trigger in the same position.

The scheme of the mechanics of the Makarov pistol is as follows:

  • When you press the trigger with your finger, it will move back and move the hammer, which will sharply set the drummer in motion.
  • The drummer destroys the primer, located on the bottom of the cartridge case, and ignites it.
  • The flash from the primer is transmitted to the main charge of gunpowder, which burns and forms a large volume of gases.
  • The gases eject the bullet through the barrel and exert opposite pressure on the bottom of the case.
  • The sleeve carries along the bolt, which begins to move backward. This compresses the return spring.
  • The sleeve continues to be in the ejector until contact with the reflector. After that, it is thrown out to the right side.
  • The shutter continues to move until it reaches the rearmost point, at which it turns the trigger on the axis and sets it to the cocking mode.
  • Then, under the force of a compressed spring, the shutter begins to reverse movement.
  • In the course of movement, the shutter, using the rammer on it, captures the cartridge from the clip and sends it to the barrel chamber.
  • At the end of the stroke, the bolt closes the barrel. Since the bolt and barrel have no connection, the barrel bore is locked solely by the mass of the bolt itself and the force of the return spring.
  • The shooter again presses the trigger and the next shot is fired.

After shooting the last cartridge from the clip, the shutter enters the delay mode. After installing a new clip, the delay is removed using the lever on the left side of the pistol frame. In this case, the first cartridge from the clip is fed into the chamber. The magazine installed in the handle is fixed with a latch located at the bottom of the handle.

This design completely eliminates the possibility of spontaneous extraction of the clip when carrying or when removing the pistol from the cavity of the holster.

Weapon Maintenance

To clean and check the condition of the components, a partial or complete disassembly of the Makarov pistol is carried out. Such procedures are one of the main conditions for maintaining the good condition of weapons.

In combat conditions or during exercises, cleaning should be carried out daily. After firing blanks or live cartridges, the bore and chamber cavity are cleaned immediately. Then it is necessary to carry out regular daily cleaning for several days.

When storing a pistol at the owner's, a preventive weekly cleaning of the weapon should be carried out.

Before lubrication, the surface of the weapon should be thoroughly wiped from moisture residues. The main types of lubricant are liquid rifle or a special RFS solution used to clean the bore in the barracks.

After washing with a solution, the weapon is wiped with a rag and lubricated. Caring for the Makarov pistol holster consists in regularly wiping it with a soft cloth from all sides to remove traces of water and dirt.

The sequence of steps for incomplete disassembly is as follows:

  1. Press the latch with your finger, pull the clip by the lower ledge with another finger and pull the clip out of the handle.
  2. Turn off the fuse.
  3. To check the absence of a cartridge in the inside of the chamber, it is necessary to push the bolt all the way back. After fixing the shutter for a delay, it is necessary to visually check the chamber.
  4. Release the shutter from delay mode.
  5. Move the trigger guard down a little and then move it to the left. The bracket should rest against the frame and be further in this state. Additional retention of the bracket during disassembly is carried out with the finger of the right hand.
  6. Then the bolt should be dismantled from the gun frame. Initially, it is taken all the way back, while simultaneously lifting it by the back side. During movement, the shutter will move forward a little from the action of a compressed spring and will be removed from the frame.
  7. Install the trigger guard in place.
  8. Remove the return spring mounted on the surface of the barrel. The part is removed by rotational movements. When reassembling, you must correctly install it in place. The reference point is the front coil, which has a reduced diameter.
  9. Clean and lubricate parts.
  10. Assemble the pistol in the reverse order of disassembly.

When assembling the valve in its original place, the end of the spring should be inserted into the channel in the valve. Then you should take the shutter all the way back, keeping the back of the raised.

At the rear point, the bolt is lowered by inserting the existing hooks into special grooves on the pistol frame. Then the shutter part is released, and it abruptly returns to the location of the extreme forward point under the influence of the spring. When installing the shutter in place, it is not necessary to move the bracket to the side.


For a more thorough inspection and cleaning, a complete disassembly is used. The instruction does not recommend carrying out such an operation too often, since it leads to wear of the material part of the Makarov pistol.

The main reasons for carrying out a complete disassembly are the long exposure of the gun to atmospheric precipitation, in conditions of high dustiness and before applying a new type of lubricant.

When performing such work under normal conditions, it is performed on a table or any flat surface. Disassembly of weapons in the field is carried out on a clean substrate.

Complete disassembly is a logical continuation of the incomplete one and consists of several stages:

  1. Removing the sear and the mechanism for delaying the shutter from the frame. To do this, gently pull the trigger, slowing it down with your finger. Remove the tip of the sear spring from the attachment point on the shutter delay. Removal is carried out using a special protrusion on the wiping rod from the tool kit. Then you should rotate the sear body until the plane on the right pin coincides with the reciprocal slot in the frame body. In the next step, you will need to lift the parts up and carefully remove them from the frame.
  2. Separation of the handle and the main mainspring from the frame. To remove the handle, unscrew the screw. A wiping rod or a shutter delay reflector acts as a screwdriver. After unscrewing the screw, the plastic casing of the handle is pulled down. To dismantle the spring, it is pressed against the base of the handle, and then shifted down along it. At the same time, the spring valve is removed and it itself is separated from the tide, made on the lower part of the handle (there is no valve on the early releases of the PM).
  3. Disengagement of the trigger from the trigger, as well as the trigger pull and the cocking lever. Before starting this stage, the hook is moved to the maximum forward position until it stops, while turning the trigger forward. When turning, the special planes made on the axes of the trigger must coincide with the mating surfaces on the pistol frame. At this point, the trigger is moved towards the barrel, and then removed from the frame. Then you should lift the end of the rod from the trigger with your fingers, and then remove the trunnion from the reciprocal hole. Place the trigger guard back down, turn the hook slightly forward and remove it from the guide pins in the frame. After removing the hook, return the bracket back.
  4. Removing the safety device, striker and cartridge case ejector from the bolt body. To do this, set the fuse box I to the upper position, take it to the side and remove it from the seat. Tapping the bolt on the palm, remove the drummer of the pistol from its place. Lay the bolt on a hard surface, drown the sleeves (the rod on which the spring is put on) of the cartridge case ejector with a wiping rod. Turn the partially recessed part around the retainer and remove. Then you should take out the yoke itself with the spring put on it.
  5. Disassembly of the clip into its component parts. At the same time, a spring and a plate are removed from the magazine, which serve to supply cartridges to the chamber.
    After completing all the planned work, the assembly is carried out in the reverse order. Regardless of the type of disassembly, at the end of it, the gun is checked. The checks include removing and setting the fuse, as well as checking the functionality of the shutter delay.

Specifications

The main purpose of the 9mm Makarov pistol is to be used as a personal weapon for attack and defense at short distances.

A technically sound PM 9 mm in the hands of a good shooter shows excellent performance in terms of accuracy of fire. At a distance of 50 meters, all bullets fall into a circle with a diameter of 320 mm, while at a distance of 20 meters this diameter drops to 130 mm.

The standard PM cartridge has a bullet with a steel core enclosed in a lead sheath.

Because of this design, the bullet is unable to penetrate steel plates and will often ricochet when hitting hard surfaces.

They tried to correct this shortcoming by creating new types of bullets and cartridges, some of which reached mass production. At the same time, the lethal force of a standard bullet is maintained at a distance of up to 350 meters.

One of these developments was a special armor-piercing cartridge 9 * 18 PBM (index 7N25). The bullet design uses a carbide core coated with an aluminum aerodynamic shell. Due to this, it was possible to reduce the weight of the bullet to 3.7 grams, which allows a standard powder charge to accelerate it to a speed of 519 m / s.


At the same time, the recoil parameters practically did not change.

Such a bullet from 10 meters pierces a 5 mm sheet of ordinary carbon steel grade ST3 or a 2.4 mm sheet of armored steel. At distances up to 30 meters through penetration of body armor 6B5-12 is provided, while the bullet can continue further movement.

Modernization

At the very beginning of the 90s, a modernized version of the main Makarov pistol was created, which received the designation PMM. The development of this option was carried out as part of the Rook project, as a result of which appeared.

But this will happen later, and in those years the work led to an improvement in the characteristics of the PM.

One of the differences between such a pistol was the use of a reinforced cartridge 9 * 18PMM (index 7N16), placed in a new two-row clip with a capacity of 12 rounds. To use such cartridges, the frame was reinforced and spiral notches were introduced in the chamber.

Such notches made it possible to hold the sleeve when fired. The clip body began to protrude somewhat from the handle, which improved the hold of the pistol in the hand and made it possible to somewhat speed up reloading. The modified ergonomics of the plastic grip pads contributed to improving the accuracy of offhand shooting.

To increase the penetration ability of bullets, the new cartridge received a powder charge increased by a third. The bullet itself has changed its shape. Thanks to such measures, at a distance of 20 meters, a bullet pierces a 3 mm sheet of ordinary carbon steel grade ST3, and at distances up to 10 meters - an army body armor Zh-81.

The aiming range of the pistol has not changed and is 50 meters.

Modifications based on PMM

The modernized Makarov pistol is produced in two main combat versions - PMM 8 and 12, which differ in the type and capacity of the magazine. Based on the PMM 12 pistol, a sports version of the IZH-70-100 (or 70-17A) is produced for a conventional cartridge, equipped with an adjustable sight and a 12-round magazine.

Baikal 442 is manufactured for export deliveries, equipped with a barrel with 6 grooves and clips for 8, 10 or 12 standard cartridges. Since the fall of 2015, this version of the pistol has received a certificate for sale on the Russian market.

For official purposes, the IZH-71-100 (or MP-71N from the autumn of 2008) is supplied, using weakened 9 * 17K cartridges. Such pistols are equipped with only 10-round clips.

Various variations and modifications

In the USSR, there were no sports or other versions based on the PM. The only attempt to modify the pistol was prototype weapons with a frame made of polymer materials. Such work was carried out at the very beginning of the 60s in the Instrument Design Bureau in the city of Tula. The results obtained during the tests did not satisfy the customer, and the experiments were not continued further.

The situation changed dramatically at the very beginning of the 90s, when dozens of variants of sports, gas and pneumatic Makarov pistols chambered for various calibers were produced on the basis of the PM and PMM.

The most common was the IZH-70, designed for a standard cartridge and cartridge .380ACP and equipped with an 8-round magazine.

It exists in several versions:

  • IZH-70-17A and 18A, chambered for 380ACP and PM, respectively, with adjustable sight details.
  • IZH-70-17AS and 18AS, with a chrome outer surface.
  • IZH-70-17AN and 18AN, a commercial version of the pistol.

In addition to these options, multiple variations of the pistol were produced for the use of gas and traumatic cartridges. The most popular were 9 mm 6P42-9 and 7.6 mm 6P42-7.6. These options are combat versions of weapons with a pin installed in the barrel, which does not allow the use of real cartridges.

Exactly the same design is 6P42 (or IZH-79-8), designed for the use of 8 mm gas cartridges.

In the early 2000s, the IZH-79-9T (or similar MP-79-9TM) "Makarych" became popular, which made it possible to fire a rubber bullet using a special 9-mm RA gas cartridge. At the ZID plant, a PM T pistol was manufactured in a limited batch of several thousand pieces.

All of these options were made on the basis of real weapons and were equipped with a baffle in the bore.

For official use, MP-471 is used, developed for the use of a traumatic cartridge 10 * 23 mm and has been mass-produced since 2004.

A variant is the MP-80-13T, which uses .45 Rubber cartridges as ammunition. Special mention deserves the signal version of the pistol under the symbol MP-371, outwardly similar to the "Makarych". Ammunition for him are capsules of the type "Zhevelo" or KV21.

Weight and size layouts

Based on the appearance of the PM, there are a number of pneumatic and signal pistols that differ in caliber and workmanship. For example, Umarex produces a 6 mm version of the weapon under the designation Legends Makarov with gas supply from a cylinder. The air pistol quite accurately imitates its combat ancestor, it even has a mode for setting the shutter to a delay. Two more pneumatic versions of weapons with the appearance of PM are widely known - these are the Gletcher PM and Borner PM49. Both options are designed for use as cartridges 4.5 mm steel balls. The bolt parts of these pistols are fixed.


Simpler options are 4.5 mm Baikal MP-654K in a standard black case and MP-654KS with chrome-plated external parts. These options are produced directly at the arms factory in Izhevsk. The pistols are equipped with clips for 13 steel balls with a diameter of 4.5 mm.

In pneumatic copies, the principle of starting firing is implemented, as in the combat version - either by pressing the trigger with great effort or cocking the hammer with your thumb. Early versions of the MP-654 were made on the basis of combat pistols, and differed only in some details.

With the tightening of legislation, the production of such options was stopped, and all modern pistols are only an imitation of the external appearance of the PM. The shutter delay mode, called blowback in pneumatic weapons, is absent on them.

PM is an indispensable type of weapon in many computer games. For example, in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. it is the most common and affordable type of weapon.

For those who want to try themselves in the role of a virtual shooter, there is a game that is a Makarov pistol simulator.

Model Disadvantages

One of the major disadvantages of the weapon is the greater tendency of standard bullets to ricochet off any hard surface. This shortcoming is partly corrected by the creation of new types of cartridges for the Makarov pistol. Another disadvantage of the design is the center of gravity of the PM, which is somewhat shifted to the barrel, which leads to fatigue of the shooter's hand during prolonged firing.

But with 10-15 shots, this drawback is not noticed.

The declared warranty resource of the weapon does not exceed 5 thousand shots. However, there are many examples of pistols with shots much larger than the warranty. However, they remain in perfect working order. On the classic PM, the magazine capacity is insufficient, in part this flaw was eliminated on the upgraded versions of the pistol, but 12 rounds are not a good indicator for modern weapons.

Licensed versions

In addition to the USSR, the Makarov pistol was produced on the territory of the member states of the Warsaw Pact. Such weapons, as a rule, went to equip the armed forces of the country where they were produced. Since 1957, the Pistole M has been officially produced on the territory of the GDR, which was an exact copy of the Soviet model.

There were attempts to create on its basis a variant chambered for 380ACP, but they could not move beyond the release of experimental samples. The performance characteristics of the German version of the Makarov pistol did not differ from the original model. After the reunification of Germany, the pistol remained in production, but only in the form of a commercial version under the designation Pistole Simson-Suhl Makarov.

Bulgaria became the second largest producer of licensed PM in Eastern Europe. Such pistols were called Makarov and were produced in land and naval versions.


Compare PM and PMM<–/noindex–>

In 1990, the Arsenal P-M01 version appeared, which was distinguished by the ergonomics of the trigger guard and handle. These pistols were produced in sports and civilian versions chambered for 380ACP and 9*18 cartridges, and could have chrome-plated external elements.

B1300 was produced in small batches, which had a shortened handle with a modified design of the overlays.

The third manufacturer was China, which launched in 1959 the serial production of an army pistol under the designation Type 59 and a training and sports version of the Norinco Sporting Pistol.

After the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine became a major supplier of various variants of pistols based on Makarov. In different periods of time, traumatic versions of the PMR (aka Viy), PM-T, PM-GT, PM-RF and Berkut were produced at Ukrainian factories.

All these designs are based on Makarov combat pistols, which, after Ukraine gained independence, remained stored in army warehouses in large quantities. A characteristic feature of all Ukrainian traumatic Makarovs is a safety plate welded into the barrel. The reverse conversion of such weapons into a combat version is impossible. All traumatic pistols are chambered for 9 mm RA.

At the beginning of 2013, a small company "CEM" began production of the PMF-1 pistol, converted to use the 4-mm Flaubert system cartridge. In such cartridges, only the primer is used as a propellant charge, which ensures its low power. In the design of the PMF-1, a drum magazine for 5 rounds is installed, i.e. in fact, the pistol was turned into a revolver, the drum of which is located inside the case.

Conclusion

At present, the gradual replacement of the PM and PMM in service with the more modern Yarygin pistol has begun. But this process will take a very long time, since a huge number of new PMs of various years of production are stored in warehouses.

In addition to Russia, the pistol is widely used in the armed forces and law enforcement agencies of many states, so it should not be expected to be removed from service soon.

General arrangement and operation of parts and mechanisms. The gun is simple in design and handling, small in size, comfortable to carry and always ready for action. A pistol is a self-loading weapon, since it is automatically reloaded during firing. The operation of the automatic pistol is based on the principle of using the recoil of a free shutter . The shutter with the barrel has no clutch. The reliability of locking the bore during firing is achieved by a large mass of the bolt and the force of the return spring. Due to the presence in the pistol of a self-cocking trigger mechanism of the trigger type, it is possible to quickly open fire by directly pressing the tail of the trigger without first cocking the trigger.

The safety of handling the pistol is ensured by a reliably functioning fuse. The pistol has a safety located on the left side of the slide. In addition, the trigger automatically becomes safety cocked under the action of the mainspring after the trigger is released (the "hang up" trigger) and when the trigger is released.

After the trigger is released, the trigger rod under the action of a narrow feather of the mainspring will move to the rear extreme position. The cocking lever and the sear will go down, the sear will press against the trigger under the action of its spring, and the trigger will automatically engage the safety cock.

To fire a shot, you must press the trigger with your index finger. The trigger at the same time strikes the drummer, which breaks the primer of the cartridge. As a result of this, the powder charge ignites and a large amount of powder gases is formed. Bullet pressure of powder gases is ejected from the bore. The shutter under the pressure of gases transmitted through the bottom of the sleeve moves back, holding the sleeve with the ejector and compressing the return spring. The sleeve, upon meeting with the reflector, is thrown out through the shutter window, and the trigger becomes cocked.

Moving back to failure, the shutter under the action of the return spring returns forward. When moving forward, the bolt sends a cartridge from the magazine into the chamber. The bore is locked by a blowback; the gun is ready to fire again.

To fire the next shot, you must release the trigger, and then press it again. So the shooting will be carried out until the cartridges in the store are completely used up.

When all the cartridges from the magazine are used up, the shutter becomes on the shutter delay and remains in the rear position.

The main parts of the PM and their purpose

PM consists of the following main parts and mechanisms:

  1. frame with barrel and trigger guard;
  2. bolt with striker, ejector and fuse;
  3. return spring;
  4. trigger mechanism (a trigger, a sear with a spring, a trigger, a trigger rod with a cocking lever, a mainspring and a mainspring valve);
  5. screw handle;
  6. shutter delay;
  7. score.

Frame serves to connect all parts of the gun.

Trunk serves to direct the flight of the bullet.

trigger guard serves to protect the tail of the trigger from inadvertent pressing.

Drummer serves to break the capsule.

Fuse serves to ensure safe handling of the pistol.

The shop serves to hold eight rounds.

The shop consists of:

  1. Store cases (connects all parts of the store).
  2. Submitter (used to supply cartridges).
  3. Feeder springs (serves to feed up the feeder with cartridges).
  4. Magazine covers (Closes the store.)

Trigger pull with cocking lever serves to release the trigger from the cocking and cock the trigger when the trigger is pressed on the tail.

Action spring serves to actuate the trigger, cocking lever and trigger pull.

Disassembly and assembly of small arms and grenade launchers.

Disassembly may be incomplete or complete. Partial disassembly is carried out for cleaning, lubricating and inspecting weapons, complete - for cleaning when the weapon is heavily soiled, after being exposed to rain or snow, when switching to a new lubricant, as well as during repairs.

Frequent complete disassembly of weapons is not allowed, as it accelerates the wear of parts and mechanisms.

When disassembling and assembling weapons, the following rules must be observed:

  1. disassembly and assembly should be carried out on a table or bench, and in the field - on a clean bedding;
  2. put parts and mechanisms in the order of disassembly, handle them carefully, avoid excessive efforts and sharp blows;
  3. when assembling, pay attention to the numbering of parts so as not to confuse them with parts of other weapons.

The order of incomplete disassembly of the PM:

  1. Remove the magazine from the base of the handle.
  2. Put the shutter on the shutter delay and check the presence of a cartridge in the chamber.
  3. Separate the shutter from the frame.
  4. Remove the return spring from the barrel.

Reassemble the gun after incomplete disassembly in reverse order.

Check the correct assembly of the pistol after incomplete disassembly.

Turn off the fuse (lower the flag down). Move the shutter to the rear position and release it. The shutter, having moved forward a little, becomes on the shutter delay and remains in the rear position. By pressing the thumb of your right hand on the shutter delay, release the shutter. The bolt under the action of the return spring should vigorously return to the forward position, and the trigger should be cocked. Turn on the fuse (raise the flag up). The trigger should break off the combat platoon and block.

Full disassembly procedure:

  1. Perform partial disassembly.
  2. Disassemble frame:
    • separate the sear and slide delay from the frame.
    • separate the handle from the base of the handle and the mainspring from the frame.
    • separate the trigger from the frame.
    • separate the trigger rod with the cocking lever from the frame.
    • separate the trigger from the frame.
  3. Disassemble shutter:
    • separate the fuse from the shutter;
    • separate the drummer from the bolt;
    • separate the ejector from the shutter.
  4. Dismantle shop:
  • remove the magazine cover;
  • remove the feeder spring;
  • take out the dispenser.

Assembly is carried out in reverse order.

Check the correct operation of parts and mechanisms after assembly.

1.1.4 Delays when firing a pistol and how to eliminate them

A pistol with proper handling, careful care and saving is a reliable and trouble-free weapon.

However, during prolonged operation due to wear of parts and mechanisms, and more often due to careless handling and inattentive care, delays in firing may occur.

To prevent delays when firing a pistol and to ensure the non-failure operation of the pistol, it is necessary:


  • properly prepare the pistol for firing;

  • inspect, clean and lubricate the gun in a timely manner and in compliance with all rules; especially carefully monitor the cleanliness and lubrication of the rubbing parts of the gun;

  • timely repair the gun;

  • inspect cartridges before firing; do not use faulty, rusty and dirty cartridges for shooting;

  • during shooting and when moving, protect the gun from contamination and shock;

  • if the pistol was in severe frost for a long time before firing, then before loading it, vigorously retract the shutter with your hand several times and release it, and after each retraction and release of the shutter, release the trigger by pressing the tail of the trigger.
If a delay occurs during firing, then it must be eliminated by reloading the pistol. If the delay is not eliminated by reloading, then it is necessary to find out the cause of the delay and eliminate it, as indicated in the table.
