Stechkin APS {9x18mm Soviet}
These 1950s-era APS machine pistols were originally issued to armored vehicle crews and front-line officers, but quickly fell into disfavor for the weapons’ underpowered cartridges and awkward handling. In the 1990s, this gun enjoyed a brief resurgence in the hands of Russian police tactical teams, who still favor the Stechkin as a sidearm over most available autoloaders. The Stechkin comes with a large rigid plastic — or, for early models, wooden — holster that clips onto the back of the grip to double as an awkward detachable stock.
