Makarov designed 7.65mm pistol

[commygun]

So I've pretty much reached the point where I think I've at least heard of every modern pistol under the sun. But then on YouTube I come across a video titled "Makarov 7.65" and sure enough there's three minutes of video showing a small single-action semi-auto pistol which, while definitely not a PM, has a distinctly Makarov-ish cast. I've never heard of this pistol. Does anyone have any information about it?

Is this the vid?

I wouldn't say it has a Makarov "cast", but I would say it's definitely European. I'd say more than likely it's Spanish, because they made so many oddball .32s there. Can't see any markings clearly, and that would explain a lot.

The hammer and finish are distinctly un-Eibar. Don't think it's Spanish. certainly not from the workshop era of Spanish gun-making.

Have you seen the cz70? Minus the safety/decocker location. Its like my makarov had a child with a cz52.

I may be hallucinationg but that barrel looks rather large for a 32ACP, more like a .380. But I still don't know what gun it is, only that it looks similar to older guns, pre 1970 or something like that.

Ya. After watching the video. Its nothing like i seen before. I want it. No decocker.

After watching the video again it seems that that design just screams Eastern European. Almost like a Tokarev/Makarov/FN-Browning hybrid. I guess it's destined to remain an enigma.

Hmm, barrel not pinned to frame? Trigger doesn't drop down for disassembly?
Strange indeed

Don't forget, the Soviets would have gun "competitions" before standardizing, so it is entirely likely that this was a 1st or 2nd gen contender for what became the PM?

It would have been nice if the YouTube guy would have used the sound to say what it says on it, instead of the over the top Russian marching music.

Like he has it in his hand but can't show markings or proof marks??
