Well... it's definitely very unique. Not really sure if I like it; I think I would have to hold one before I could decide.
Will it be available commercially and in what calibre?

 

[Conscript]

Looks like a Pardini GT-9 and an Arsenal Strike One bastard child. Very promising if it's got good genes from both!

I was thinking the exact same combo...

Looks a little like the Arsenal. Ultimately just another one of the heard, probably no better, no worse. But i kind of like it. neat grips. wonder if and when they will show up here given all the sanctions.

 

[Sleeper]

Looks like the bore is nice and low to the hand. If it is in a worthwhile chambering it could be promising.

It is 9/19mm , I would not think the grips are wood, It looks interesting.
If we imported it, another red flag for the U.S.

Not an issue. The company, Kalashnikov Concern, is on the Canadian (and American) list of sanctioned companies under the Special Economic Measures Act

I hope they can build an all-steel version as the old Tokarev. Considering this has just completed the Prototype Run, we might not see this pistol in 5-10 yrs being this might be the next sidearm of the eastern bloc troops. Don't get me wrong, I am not a polymer hater, in fact, I still want to have a G34 or G17L someday. I just prefer a more robust and heavier steel for our toys.

 

[Samson23]

Has definite shades of the Steyr M9-A1. I like it!

 

[BooSSted]

Looks like a polymer frame but the article doesn't mention anything about the materials used. It's got potential!

 

[Import]

Don't hate it, super low bore axis, I'm guessing ambi controls...like to see and handle one...

This hideous Russian Trash doesn't look like it has anything GT-9 in it. Why do you insult Paridini anyway. You must be on mushrooms and hallucinating if you think it has any resemblance to a GT -9.

Hand crafted Pardini compared to a Polymer mass manufactured fugly junk. Its about as aesthetically appealing as the Strike One aka Sloth from the Goonies.

 

[Ebola]

Very ###y looking pistol.

 

[silverfoxdj]

Would like to know how it shoots.. the look kind of grows on yah..

 

[TeaPot2]

not very clear picture (from guns.ru) on all internals, but gives some information

 

[TeaPot2]

barrel length = 127mm, overall length = 220mm, height = 136mm, width = 28mm at the grip and 21mm at the front, weight = 0.8kg empty, capacity 15 rounds.

 

[Import]

Recon you'd have to be some kind of contortionist to get slide bite....lol.....man that slide is slim, kinda liking it more.....

 

[ZappBrannigan]

As a big fan of ugly and unique firearms, this is something I'd definitely want. Are there any videos of it shooting?

Take your username to heart and pop a couple, jeez.

I agree that there is an outward resemblance between the pistols, no need to jump down someones throat for commenting on that.
