The PB (Pistolet besshumnyy, “silent pistol”) is a Soviet integrally suppressed semi-automatic pistol derived from the Makarov and chambered in 9×18mm Makarov. It uses a distinctive two-part suppressor system that lets the front section be carried separately for easier concealment and attached when needed. The PB is best known as a specialized close-range sidearm for covert and special-operations use rather than a general-issue service pistol.
HISTORY
The PB was developed in the mid-1960s to provide Soviet special units with a compact suppressed handgun using the proven 9×18mm Makarov cartridge and familiar magazines. It entered service in 1967 and was produced at Izhevsk, but its internal layout was heavily reworked compared to a standard Makarov: the slide is shortened to fit around the suppressor assembly, and the return spring was relocated into the grip and linked to the slide by a lever mechanism.
A defining feature of the PB is its two-part suppressor. The rear section remains on the pistol, while the front “nozzle” section can be kept in a holster compartment and fitted quickly before use; the pistol can still be fired without the front section in emergencies, though with a louder report. The PB remained a niche weapon for specialized roles and continued to be associated with Russian special-operations and security users over the decades.
