Excellent, spassibo.

[BitnikGr]

@Panzerargentino2 You are welcome.

[Treblaine]

is the Berdish pistol know by another name? I can't find it on google.

[BitnikGr]

@Treblaine Direct translation of the word "Berdish" is an English "Bardiche".

There is no article about "Berdish" even in Russian wikipedia.

Stechkin had more than 60 designs and more than 50 patents.

@BitnikGr 02:15 indeed twin row isn't the right destination for the pistol's mag, it was actually called as double stack, double column.

[1stMarineCapt]

@BitnikGr Dude, mind I ask, apart from the AK rifle series, is it right that every other Russian made firearm blued? Or was there some hard anodized or parkerized?

[1stMarineCapt]

Stechkin was a better automatic pistol than Glock, Mauser or Beretta. Only a full auto 1911 that could be able to stand as a competitor, I must say though.

cool

@BitnikGr ah, thank you, seems most English articles spell it "Berdysh" with OTs-27 designation.
