We have added your contact information to the waiting list and will contact everyone on the list prior to shipment arrival.
+1, if it is a firearm it is cool.
I am hoping for a package deal with the serialized mags like the Viking pistol. 6 mags sounds like a good start to me.
Email sent on your site, now waiting anxiously with the rest. Any update on a projected shipping date from Russia?
Any possibility that you can get a decent holster/mag pouch set up in stock with the guns? A pistol without a holster is not that useful for me.

Teapot2, do all pistols sold by Russia have weakened barrels? I read somewhere that the Viking pistols sold for export had a different barrel and firing pin than the units sent to the army. Would this be the same with all the GSh-18 pistols? That would be a pity because Russian arms are famous for being stronger than they need to be. For the factory to sell an intentionally weakened pistol does not seem like a successful marketing strategy.
Could you please shed some light upon this matter please.
By the way, from the photograph you posted you must be over six foot five as your hand is like a shovel.
I still want one, so I'll wait for it.
By I second the question by teapot 1
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms ... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes." - Thomas Jefferson, 1775.
Absolutely not true. Also I cannot tell about other importers, so far we were getting Vikings with the same as military barrels and firing pins. GSh-18 shouldn't be weakened in any way.
And no I'm 5'8" with small hands GSh-18 is a neat little gun.
I have a video (have to find it) of me shooting +p+ Hydra Shok JHP ammo out of one of our stock Vikings at Genesee range. Here is the picture (note the ammo):
For 2011, KPB Design Bureau announced a possible marketing of a civilian version of the GSH 18 with modified trigger and firing pin to comply with Russian gun law. This information was confirmed at the 2011 IWA show where a sample gun was displayed.
I take it from this that the barrels will be the same and only the trigger and firing pin will differ. Either the pin has a different head in order to differentiate it from the military one (as in primers indentations on cases left at a crime scene?) or the pin/spring are incapable of detonating harder military primers? As for the trigger I have no idea why this would be changed unless it is slightly better for competition shooting.
If you could discover what these differences mean, Teapot2, we should all be appreciative. It is a very interesting pistol. Being made in Russia gives it the stamp of approval in terms of ruggedness and reliability.
