Kalashnikov JUST REVEALED New Compact Pistol REVIEW

The Who?
Kalashnikov Concern, the largest arms manufacturer in Russia and industrial avatar of AK-47 inventor Mikhail Kalashnikov’s genius, is branching out beyond its iconic assault rifle. The company’s been prototyping everything from autonomous tanks to high-powered sniper rifles, but the Russian weaponsmiths seem most excited about the advanced Lebedev PL-15 pistol: It could, with luck, become what The War Zone called “the AK-47 of pistols.”
The handgun, designed in conjunction with elite Russian police and sportsmen to function as an all-purpose sidearm, was in testing earlier and could possibly end up in the holsters of military and law enforcement agents around the world, Kalashnikov CEO Alexei Krivoruchko told a Russian news agency.

Characteristics
The company’s already got a reputation for manufacturing durable and reliable weapons: So there’s a lot of appeal in the idea of a reliable pistol crafted in the same spirit of the ubiquitous AK-47 assault rifle. Here are the specs, according to TASS: According to the corporation’s press office, the pistol chambered for the 9x19mm round is very thin — 21mm at the barrel and 28mm at the grip. It has the controls on both sides, which makes it possible for both right- and left-handed people to use it. Its characteristics ensure reduced recoil and muzzle rise and quick return to the line-of-sight.
As the press office said, the PL-14 pistol has a loaded chamber indicator, which allows the serviceman to know by touch whether the weapon is chambered or not. The pistol coupled with the modified-design chamber can fire rounds with a non-standard length.

What Exactly is the PLK?
The Lebedev Compact Gun (the words that make up the name) is the ‘iPhone’ of the Russian handgun world. It’s a step ahead of its competition in everything from design to technical characteristics.
The gun itself has a soft matte gloss. There are no sharp corners on the frame, which usually dig into the belt or the folds of your clothing, leading to discomfort. But the best part about the PLK, compared to the Makarov, are the soft and short release and the smooth bolt movement. According to a Special Forces soldier, who inspected the gun at the expo together with Russia Beyond, “It has a brilliant release for its price range.” And we have to emphasize: the price matters, because, in the world of handguns, as with cars, there’s no limit to perfection, things can always be improved and details swapped out for better, more expensive ones. The barrel of the PLK sits very close to the palm, like with a sports gun (Dmitriy Lebedev, who the gun is named after, was a sports shooter). The grip is curved to perfection, fitting any hand like a glove. The gun is constructed according to the classical principle of shutting the barrel with a periscope. This approach is used by the majority of the world’s civilian firearms manufacturers. The standard PL-15 is a 120 millimeter, while the full one measures in at 207 mm. This allows for installing a silencer. Meanwhile, the standard PLK magazine takes 16 9x16 Parabellum rounds. The short PLK shoots comfortably at distances of up to 100 meters. It’s guaranteed for a good 40,000 shots.

How much is the Kalashnikov ‘iPhone’ pistol?
An unofficial version voiced at the expo puts the price for purchasing directly from Kalashnikov at around $700. It’s still unclear what the dealer markups abroad will come to, nor the ones in Russia. “You’ll be able to purchase the weapon at a European dealer that works with the Kalashnikov Concern. The current dealer list is pending (the concern is currently facing foreign sanctions), and the same goes for the price of the gun at a store,” added the Kalashnikov department director. Further to his words, product managers will most likely go by store price predictions, as that is what will keep the gun in competition with its foreign rivals. Each given country’s market will effectively control what that price will be, which includes import taxes and, of course, the dealer markup for things like exclusivity.
