Since 2004, the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant (JSC "IMZ", part of the Kalashnikov concern) has produced over 700,000 Izh-79-9T травматический pistols designed for active self-defense.
The Izh-79-9T is the first Russian and most popular травматический pistol. Because it was created by Petr Ivshin with the constructive similarity to the Makarov combat pistol (PM) in mind, it was nicknamed "Makarych." Like the PM, the Izh-79-9T received a frame, slide, and trigger mechanism made of steel, which guarantees its accuracy when shooting and reliability in operation.
The Izh-79-9T травматический shoots:
- gas cartridges
- rubber bullets
- noise cartridges
IMZ emphasized that "Makarych" is protected from firing live ammunition. The design of the barrel channel does not allow a shot to be fired without irreversible changes to the pistol.
Modifications of Izh-79-9T:
- Izh-79-9T with magazines for 8 and 10 rounds
- МР-80-13Т
- МР-79-9ТМ
