Over the past few years, the traumatic marketweapons in Russia has expanded significantly due to the models of domestic production. Of course, not all new Russian pistols are in favor of the supporters of the rubber-retaining defense, but among them are samples that deserve special attention. We will talk about one of them.
This article will focus on the MR-353 - rezinostople, made on the basis of the famous pistol Yarygin (PJ).
History of creation
The history of the TL begins in 1993, whenprototype "Grach" under the symbol MR-443 won the competition of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR. He was called upon to replace the Makarov pistol (PM), which was in service with all power structures at the time, which had proven itself well for many years of use but no longer met modern requirements. But why was it necessary to change the proven PM to what is unknown?
The fact is that cheap and ultra-reliable "Makarov"I used a standard 9x18 mm cartridge, which did not at all meet the requirements for the newest weapon. Given the difficult post-Soviet period, the MP-443 "Grach" was adopted by the army of the Russian Federation only after ten long years, and after another five it became a regular weapon and employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Several commercial and sporting pistols were created on the basis of the PU, including the Viking MP-446, which became the prototype of the MP-353.
In the late 2000s, with the increasing popularity of weaponsIn the case of a traumatic action, the weapons factories start mass-producing rubber arrowheads, which are copies of combat models or converted from them. In 2009, the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant at the exhibition “Arms and Hunting” for the first time introduced the pistol MR-353 to the public. And a year later began its mass production. From the first days, the civil copy of the “Rook” has gained immense popularity among the population, having recommended itself mostly from the best side. Thanks to this, it is still manufactured by the plant today, and you can buy it at any gun shop throughout Russia.
Appointment
MP-353 - limited firearmslesion designed for active self-defense. Used for firing ammunition with rubber bullet type 45 Rubber production LLC PKP "AKBS" (Nizhny Novgorod) or JSC "Tehkrim" (Izhevsk). According to the passport data, the use of a pistol is permissible at temperatures from -20 to +50. 0FROM.
Design Features
Overview MP-353 begin with its design.Outwardly, it turned out quite nice and modern. But as can be seen in the photo of the gun, its design can not be called advanced. On the one hand, there seems to be nothing superfluous, on the other - no hint of asceticism. The size of the gun can be called medium, although many would like to wear a more compact model under the belt.
Unlike his fighting "brother", whosethe design is based on the short-stroke movement of the barrel, the traumatic pistol MP-353 has a free gate, and the return spring is located under it. The shutter-casing moves along the frame guides. The frame of the steel rezin-steel, but the top is covered with plastic. All other elements are made of steel. The handle is sporty ergonomic, covered with soft plastic.
On the gate there is a pointer to the presence of a cartridge inthe chamber This is a small protrusion on the ejector. After the shooting of the last cartridge, the pistol bolt remains in the extreme rear position. When a loaded magazine is installed, it returns to the front position by pressing the slide latch lever on the left side or by lightly pulling the bolt back.
As for accuracy, the MP-353 is balancedin such a way that when shooting the trunk practically does not throw up. This makes it more convenient than, for example, the same Makarov pistol. Civilian "Rook" allows you to conduct aimed shooting at a distance of up to eight meters. The accuracy of hits is excellent with almost no scatter. The effective firing range is also limited to eight meters.
The main parts of the traumatic gun
Gun MP-353 consists of eight main parts:
- frame with brace, trigger mechanism, magazine latch, fuse;
- shutter with ejector and sighting device;
- return spring;
- trunk;
- contactor;
- stock;
- score;
- lever.
In total, the design of rezinacre includes 50 elements

Shock-trigger mechanism
Here he is of the usual type.Allows you to fire both self-platoon and preliminary platoon with his hand. The design of the trigger is open, but on both sides of its sidewall protected by specially provided protrusions on the gate. This is done so that the trigger does not cling to the details of clothes when removing weapons.
Safety when handling weapons providesdouble-sided flag fuse, blocking and sear, and trigger. This decision made the MP-353 more convenient to use for left-handers. The fuse can block the trigger mechanism both in the deflated and in the cocked position.
What is wrong with the barrel?
For any firearm the barrel isthe element on which depends not only the accuracy of the shooting, but also the speed of the flight of the bullet, and consequently, its striking force. In MP-353, it is made of high-quality stainless steel, however, looking into it, you can see that the engineers of Izhevsk Mechanical Plant obviously overdid it with the design, which should prevent the firing of live ammunition. For these purposes, there are two conical shaped protrusions on the inner surface of the trunk. These "teeth" almost completely overlap each other in the gap. However, this does not affect the performance of the bullet. In order for the gun to fully comply with the requirements of the forensic service, its barrel is welded to the bolt, so it is almost impossible to remake it under military weapons.
Ammunition
Russian pistols and traumatic revolversactions are designed for the usual nine millimeter cartridges, which are produced in large quantities by various enterprises. The plant decided to change nothing in the design, leaving the gun adapted for the 45 Rubber cartridge. In general, it did not affect his popularity, but not everyone liked this caliber. And that's why.
The fact is that the usual nine-millimetercartridge bullet diameter in the free state is 10 mm, and 45 Rubber - 12-13 mm. This means that with the same kinetic energy, the first one, hitting the target, has a smaller strike area than the second one. Naturally, her piercing ability is much greater.
Score
The most ill-conceived element in the MR-353is his shop. It is not known why the engineers did this, but instead of seventeen in combat and eighteen in a sports tanker, the re-gun shop contains only seven rounds! It has nothing to do with the volume of the handle, nor with the size of the mine, or with any special requirements of the law. Why did so the manufacturer, it is not clear. At least it’s good that recently there have appeared on the market samples containing nine cartridges in the store.
It is noteworthy that the store eject button can also be rearranged to the other side in order to adapt the pistol to people who are more comfortable with firing with their left hand.
Sights
At first glance, the upper part of the pistol boltnothing special is different from other pistols of this class. In fact, the design of the sighting device is much more interesting than the usual models of traumatic weapons. In the photo of the gun, you can see the base of the sight - light dots applied to the unregulated front sight and rear sight, which also glow in the dark. Agree that it is much more convenient to aim with them at night, when, in fact, most street crimes are committed. The design of the gun is equipped with a Picatini plate, which makes it possible to equip it with a laser designator or tactical flashlight.
MP-353: reviews, advantages, disadvantages
Reviews of a pistol are mostly positive, although negative are also found. After examining them, you can judge the main advantages and disadvantages of this resistoir.
Benefits:
- sporty ergonomics;
- reliability;
- smooth descent;
- low probability of misfire (excluding problems associated with cartridges);
- high accuracy for a traumatic weapon;
- convenience for shooting with both hands;
- relatively low price.
Disadvantages:
- low muzzle energy;
- insufficient store capacity;
- high price for cartridges;
- Difficult cocking the trigger and the impossibility of his safe descent.
In the responses to the gun are often foundclaims of a relatively large width of the shutter, which allegedly makes it difficult to carry it hidden. Indeed, given the size of the MR-353, a holster with it, even operational, will stick out from under the clothes. But on the other hand, for concealed carrying, you can purchase weapons with smaller dimensions.
Test results
And now, to compare the characteristicscivil "Rook" with other samples of traumatic weapons of the same class, consider the results of tests on the initial speed of a bullet and accuracy, conducted by the magazine "Kalashnikov" in 2014. For comparison, PDT-13T Esaul-3 and MP-80-13T Makarych were taken.
MP-353 began to win with the first test -measuring the initial velocity of the bullet, which amounted to 316 m / s, while the maximum performance of the "Esaula" and "Makarych" did not exceed 249 and 300 m / s, respectively. But in terms of accuracy, the MP-80-13T bypassed all, but the human factor could also play a role here.
MP-353: price
Что касается стоимости пистолета, то нельзя say it is a cheap weapon. Depending on the modification, the price for it in different regions can vary in the range of 20-30 thousand rubles. But agree that security is much more expensive.
The result
Summarizing, we can say that traumaticpistol MP-353 really deserves attention as a modern and reliable weapon of self-defense. It is comfortable, ergonomic, has a good aiming design, is quite effective for self-defense, and also easily adapts to the requirements of a left-handed person. The only disadvantage of this gun is its size, but it is not so critical.
