Anyone here ever seen a Russian PSM pistol ?

[John R.]

Cute little all steel(except for the aluminium grip) semi auto pistol in 5.45x17.9mm calibre.I am trying to find out which year the P(Cyrillic) denotes.Full serial is(in LATIN letters)RG 1831 P.
I have the pistol,an East German convertible belt/shoulder holster with flap and attached single mag pouch.3 36 rd boxes of ammo(one of Tula "commercial" and 2 NO HEADSTAMP military Ball) and 3 magazines(one in the pistol and one in the holster plus an extraneous spare)
Steel portion is in about 98 pct condition but the anodized aluminium grip wears just by looking at it.They are in about 80 pct condition.
I understand that in the US this pistol is classified as an"ASSASSINATION PISTOL"or some such BATFE pipe dream. No doubt inspired by smoking recreational botanicals or noxious white powders from the EVIDENCE LOCKERS AGAIN.

It will ALSO punch through something like FIFTY thicknesses of ARAMID/KEVLAR I am told on good authority.Something about a tungsten penetrator that lives in a lead matrix inside the little truncated cone projectile.

All in all a VERY interesting little pistol that is about 3/4 of an inch thick and leaves next to NO"visible panty line" when you have one in your pocket.

Anyone have any ideas as to WHICH YEAR that P code denotes ?JR
