Just stumbled onto this thread. Any update on importing the Demyan SP08?

They also had a number of interesting air rifles as well, but all were prototypes, they wanted to know what was sellable in America, and of course they were thinking 10s of thousands of each. I am afraid that I burst their bubble.

New pistol by Kaidurov

Post by gn303 »

The new pistol looks basically like the AW93 from Feinwerkbau. Logical, as it seems Kaidurov worked on it, as I understand.
What puzzels me though, are the sight adjustment nobs. I thought the sights of the standard pistol needed to be adjusted with a tool, not to say a screwdriver? Has the rule changed or did that rule never exist???

I can't remember any such rule, nor have I ever heard of one. That doesn't mean that it never existed though.

the Demyan company no longer exists ... it seems.
so i guess this new pistol will never exist :(

'Demyan' company exists and continues to produce weapons, mainly pneumatic. The most famous model is the AP16 pistol. The SP-08 pistol is not produced because Demyan Belikov cannot legally produce weapons on Russia and has not found the money for serial production in Europe - about 15 million euros.

For what it is worth, Khaidurov also designed the TOZ-36, 49, and 96 revolvers based on the Nagant system (which allows the cylinder to fit into the barrel and produce a gas seal). It has the accuracy of a pistol with the reliability of a revolver. The TOZ-36 used the 7.62 Nagant revolver cartridge, the 49 used the shortened 7.62 mm "Sport" cartridge, and the 96 used .32 S&W longs. The Soviet Union produced some brilliant designers; most of whom never prospered from their work because of corruption at higher levels along the way. It's too bad we can't make their designs here in the USA; we'd be self-sufficient for target pistols and rifles for sure!
