The PB (Pistolet Besshumnyy, English: Silent Pistol) is a Soviet/Russian integrally suppressed semi-automatic pistol developed and manufactured by Izhevsk Mechanical Plant, based on the Makarov pistol. It is/was used by the KGB, Ministry of Internal Affairs special units (OMON) and Soviet Army reconnaissance groups.
The PB has an integral suppressor, which, unlike most similar systems, consists of two parts. This allows the pistol to be carried and kept concealed without the front section of the suppressor attached. The pistol may also be fired safely without the front section attached. When fired like this, the PB sounds similar to a regular pistol.
Because the front part of the barrel is covered by the suppressor, the slide is very short, such that it does not allow placing a return spring into it. For that reason, the spring is in the grip, and acts on the slide by means of a long lever.
