The S4M pistol is one of the many
less-known "Spetsnaz" weapons of the Soviet origin. Developed during
early ninety-sixsties for clandestine work of KGB and Army Spetsnaz
operatives, it was officialy adopted in 1965. It is believed to be
still in limited use by special operations elements of the Russian army
and law enforcement. This pistol appears to be a predecessor of the
smaller MSP pistol, which used improved ammunition of similar 'internally silenced, piston' concept, but of much smaller size. The
S4M is a two-barreled pistol with tip-up barrels. Cartridges are loaded
and unloaded in pairs, using a specially designed steel clip. The
pistol has neither ejector nor extractor, as the clip is removed
manually during reloading. The trigger is single action, concealed
hammers being cocked manually by pulling down a special lever, located
at the base of the grip. A manual safety is located at the left side of
the frame. Sights are fixed.
