MP-443 Grach
MP-443 Grach, the Russian Federation's general issue pistol for all branches of the Russian Armed Forces, was born in the Izhmash factory in 1997. The Grach was designed to replace the aging Makarov pistol, which had been in service since the 1950s. The Grach was a modern, lightweight pistol that was easy to use and maintain. It was chambered in the widely available 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge, making it easy to find ammunition for.
