No, you will not buy them. The gun would have to cost 250 or less. For example you can get RAP-401 for 200, Arcus for just over 200 dollars. Do I need to tell you how much PM costs these days? Secondly, this is full size semiauto. It is fine for military and police because they can carry openly, but you try to consil this hunk of rubber and steel!

If Russians want to make money in US on handguns, then their best bet is good or better quality revolvers. Particularly replicas of the classic ones. Like Russian Contract S&W Third Model. Even replicas of this one sell for 400 dollars wholesale and over 500 retail. The new production from S&W goes for over 1,000 dollars. And do not tell me that Russians can not do it. A couple years ago there was picture of Russian prototype of top break revolver with polymer frame. Also, importing replica revolvers would be a breez since most of them would be C&R. The main thing is quality. If there is no quality, then you might as well gorget it, no matter how cheap you are going to sell.
