Yarygin Pistol with Accessories
RIA Novosti reports on a demonstration of the Yarygin Pistol. This is the first time I have seen it used with the 17 (or 18) round extended magazine.
The reporter thinks that the main con of this pistol is that is needs to be “retargeted” when switching between domestic and foreign ammunition. So far nobody has invented a pistol with magical sights that automatically switch between both 9x19mm NATO and hyper velocity Russian +P+ armor penetrating ammo.

I hate it when I have to retarget after shooting imported ammunition.
Most sources I've seen report the standard magazine size of the MP-443 being 17 rounds, is that only an extended magazine size? What's shown in the video is significantly longer than the images I've seen (on wikipedia for example, or world.guns.ru).
