I am extremely skeptical that any Spetznaz operator ever actually deployed with one of these things, though. It&#8217;s a holster with a neat mechanical function; you can push the pistol down through the bottom of the holster and it will automatically disengage the safety and rack the slide (chambering a round) in the process (ejecting the chambered round out the hole in the holster is there is one chambered).<\/p>\n<p>This sounds like a a good idea, but it&#8217;s really not. It is an ND just waiting to happen, it&#8217;s not a good concealment holster size-wise, and it only has one true purpose. That is to be a workaround for people\/places where it is mandated to carry the pistol chamber empty, and with the safety engaged. In reality, the Makarov&#8217;s double action trigger is a completely safe and effective safety mechanism for carry, and there is no actual reason to carry one with an empty chamber. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/utreon.com\/c\/forgottenweapons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/utreon.com\/c\/forgottenweapons\/<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>Forgotten Weapons<br \/>6281 N.
