	The Makarov pistol or PM is a Soviet semi-automatic pistol. ~~Under the project leadership of Nikolay Fyodorovich Makarov~~, ~~it became the~~ Soviet ~~Union's standard military~~ and ~~Militsiya side arm in 1951~~.		The Makarov pistol (PM) is a Soviet semi-automatic pistol chambered in [[9×18mm Makarov]]. It is a compact, blowback-operated sidearm designed for military and police service, using an 8-round detachable magazine. The PM is best known for its simplicity, reliability, and widespread Cold War distribution through Soviet and allied production.
	=HISTORY=		==HISTORY==
	~~Shortly after~~ World War II, the Soviet Union sought ~~to replace~~ the [[TT-33]] ~~pistols~~ and [[Nagant M1895]] ~~revolvers~~, ~~deeming them unsuitable for self-defense. A contest for~~ a ~~new~~ service pistol ~~led to the adoption of the 9.2×18mm cartridge, designed by B.V. Semin, due to its lower pressure, practical blowback operation, low recoil,~~ and ~~good stopping power~~.		After World War II, the Soviet Union sought a modern replacement for the [[TT-33]] and the [[Nagant M1895]] revolver, favoring a compact service pistol that could be produced economically and maintained easily. Nikolay Makarov’s design—strongly influenced by the Walther PP-style layout—combined a straightforward blowback action with a new 9×18mm cartridge intended to balance controllable recoil and practical service performance. The pistol won Soviet trials and was adopted in 1951, entering large-scale manufacture at Izhevsk and becoming a standard sidearm for Soviet forces and internal security services.

	~~Several engineers, including Makarov, participated. Makarov's design,~~ influenced by the ~~German~~ Walther PP~~, excelled in simplicity, reliability, quick disassembly,~~ and ~~robustness~~. It was ~~selected~~ in ~~1949~~, ~~with production set up~~ at ~~the~~ Izhevsk ~~plant. After further development, it was adopted as the "9mm Pistolet Makarova" (PM) in December 1951~~.

	~~The~~ PM ~~became~~ the ~~standard issue for~~ Soviet ~~non~~-~~commissioned~~ officers, ~~police~~, ~~special forces, and tank~~ and ~~air crews, remaining in service until~~ the ~~USSR's end in 1991. It is still produced in Russia,~~ [[~~China~~]], and ~~Bulgaria, and is considered a curio and relic in the U.S. due to~~ the ~~dissolution~~ of ~~the USSR and GDR~~.		Through the Cold War, the PM was produced in very large numbers and also manufactured under license or as close copies in several countries, which helped it spread widely beyond the USSR. In Southeast Asia, Makarov pistols appeared via Soviet-bloc supply networks and could be encountered as sidearms carried by officers, security personnel, and specialized troops during the [[Vietnam War]] era. Although later designs were introduced to replace it in some services, the PM’s durability and the sheer scale of production kept it in use for decades afterward.

	~~In 2003, the PM was formally replaced by the PYa pistol in Russian service, though many PMs remain in use~~. ~~The~~ PM ~~is still standard in several Eastern European and former Soviet states, as well as North Korea and~~ [[~~Vietnam]]~~. ~~Despite attempts to replace it with various models, none have entirely supplanted the~~ PM.		===Sources===
