Russian wannabee Glock obviously failed.
It seems as though after the invention of Makarov pistol, Russia has had obvious problems with handguns. PMM has feed problems, because of the magazine(It has 15, unlike the first Makarov pistol, which had 8). GSh-18 is not resourceful and requires serious rework. The Grach is simply very raw, unergonomical and has regular malfunctions.
And now, a hopeful project, Strike One, designed by Arsenal Firearms, failed the government tests.
Citating the head of the tests, Dmitry Semizorov,: "The test of "Strike One" pistol began and ended right away. The handgun showed its insolvency as to be presented to our military". Nothing more was detailed.
In 2012 russian vice prime minister Dmitry Rogozin stated, that Strike One surpasses Glock and will be adopted by the Ministry of Defence to replace the Makarov pistol.
Well, Dmitry, not today. Not anywhere soon.
