МР-79-9ТМ. "Makarych" - МР-79-9ТМ

Traumatic pistol MP-79-9TM is the successor of the Izh-79-9T model. This weapon is produced at the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant, it is intended for shooting cartridges KSPZ, AKSB and other types, muzzle energy which does not exceed 90 J. Among the common people, this pistol was firmly entrenched in the name "Makarych". Currently, the MP-79-9TM is the holder of a certificate of compliance for firearms with limited damage.

Makarov's pistol - classic of domestic weapons

Among the huge variety of traumatic pistols presented today in the Russian market, a special place is occupied by those models that look similarly to military weapons. So, the most popular (thanks to the low price, the cost of ammunition, small overall dimensions) received an analogue of Makarov's pistol. Today, "Makarych" is the most common traumatic weapon not only in Russia, but also in the CIS countries.

There are a lot of options for this model, but three of them are the most popular: Izh-79-9T, MP-80-13T and MP-79-9TM. It should be noted that they all represent a consistent line of development of "Makarych", respectively, the technical characteristics of each subsequent model is better than the previous one. Naturally, each has its own nuances that significantly influence the choice of this or that modification. In addition, these models are the maximum approximation to the combat original.

The choice of millions. And if not millions, then at least hundreds of thousands

For most buyers of this pistol, the main role is played by the external resemblance to the combat prototype. However, it should be noted that even the listed three models are not completely identical to the PM. The professional is able to see the differences not only in the slightly modified proportions of the weapon itself and the inscriptions on its side, but also in the absence of the so-called "beard" under its trunk. In addition, we can not fail to mention that the MR-80-13T model, in connection with the fact that it uses a larger cartridge, has a different handle, which differs significantly from previous versions of Makarych, and, of course, PM. Of course, it would be difficult (if not impossible) to distinguish a person who has seen combat weapons once in life or only on television, especially from a stressful situation and under poor lighting, from his traumatic clones. Therefore, buyers of such specimens count more on the effect of intimidation of intruders than on the actual use of "trauma" for the intended purpose.

History of development

Since the beginning of the production of the modification of the MR-79-9TM, it has been repeatedly upgraded. So, designers IZHMASH was strengthened the barrel of the gun for the ability to fire cartridges with a more powerful charge. The gates were initially made cast, and subsequently - forged. Since the second half of 2008, IZhMASH has been manufacturing this model of a traumatic pistol both from scratch and through the modification of previously released modifications. At the moment, "Makarych" MP-79-9TM is the most popular, thanks to the steel frame and shutter-casing, a huge selection of accessories and, of course, the customers' confidence in the design of the PM, which is simple and reliable in operation. In addition, this weapon is very convenient for concealed wearing because of small overall dimensions.

Description of the pistol

The principle of the "trauma", as well as its combat prototype, is based on the use of the release of a free shutter. The return spring is located around the barrel, rigidly fixed on the frame. USM double-action kurkovogo type with the possibility of a safety cocking the trigger. The flag lever is located in the rear part, on the left side of the shutter-case. When turned on, he blocks the drummer, as a result, the trigger descends safely from the combat platoon, the sear is blocked. In addition, we note that the traumatic MR-79-9TM can fire with gas cartridges. True, the power of such charges is not enough to perform automatic recharging of the pistol. So the shooter has to manually perddergivanie shutter after each shot.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of this weapon include compactness, ease of maintenance and familiarity in handling, availability of spare parts and accessories. In addition, the highlight is the combat copies, converted into traumatic. These pistols have an increased margin of safety and reliability. Of the shortcomings often noted relatively low power, large stroke and force trigger, not ergonomic handle and rudimentary sighting devices. And the design of the three protrusions in the trunk, which often leads to the rupture of balls of hard rubber.

Operation of the gun

The operation of "Makarych" is simple, like five cents, in comparison with other types of traumatic weapons. Assembly and disassembly are carried out in the same sequence as in the PM. It does not cause difficulties even for beginners, who first took the gun in their hands. The only danger is to remove the return spring: in "Makarychev" (as well as in the combat prototype), it is necessary to pull for its base, and not for the end, which will eliminate the stretching of this part. MP-79-9TM has a high wear resistance of the machines in use, so that in time the brushed and lubricated gun will serve its owner for a very long time. A beginner can embarrass the weight of a weapon. Since it is made of steel, with relatively small dimensions it seems much heavier than foreign copies.

Ammunition for traumatic pistols

The correct choice of cartridges for traumatic weapons is the basis for its long-term operation. A huge number of pistols were completely spoiled by their owners due to the use of more rigid bullets in the cartridges than indicated in the manual. To modify the Makarych MP-79, such a charge is the true "death" of the trunk. The thing is that the manufacturer made special indentations in his channel in order to prevent the possibility of firing bullets from hard material. Through this protection, soft rubber bullets pass freely, and rigid can break, which leads to a jammed piece of rubber. As a result, the next shot can have very deplorable consequences for both the gun and the shooter himself.

Model MR-79-9TM: price

This traumatic pistol, due to its popularity, can be found in any arms store in the country. The cost of MP-79-9TM, depending on the modification, can be 9-15 thousand rubles. The copies, converted from Makarov 's combat pistol, will cost much more - within 50-60 thousand rubles. This price discourages many buyers, and this is natural: why pay so much money for weapons that were once militant. And yet it's up to you to decide.

And what do the owners of MR-79-9TM say?

The feedback of the owners of the traumatic pistol considered by us is that this is a very reliable, powerful weapon, very convenient for hidden wearing. One of the main positive factors is the material (steel), and it is not surprising, because most modern non-lethal means of self-defense are made of plastic and silumin. As a result, the parts of the weapon wear out quickly, and the gun becomes unusable. MP-79-9TM in terms of reliability is often compared with the Kalashnikov assault rifle. Of the shortcomings, users often note the small capacity of the store and the lack of a "beard" under the trunk, which disfigures the habitual appearance of the weapon.
