Too cool for Americans: why the Russian Gyurza pistol was banned in US stores

A common American can easily afford most types of pistols, revolvers, can even buy a submachine gun or a hefty pump-action shotgun. What is really there, in many US states AR-15 assault rifles and Kalashnikov assault rifles are freely sold. You can buy all of the above just by going to the store. Against the background of such a weapon "freeman", the ban on the sale of the Russian pistol "Gyurza" in the United States looks extremely strange. What's the matter?

What can be so exceptional in some kind of pistol, when automatic machines and automatic rifles are freely and absolutely legally sold in your country? To begin with, there could not be a large number of Gyurza pistols on the American market, even if they wanted to export them on purpose. This is because the CP-1, developed by Petr Serdyukov in 1993, was made specifically for the needs of Russian special services, and first of all for the FSB officers, the prosecutor's office and the security service of the first persons the state. A pistol was made specifically for the 9x21 cartridge developed in 1992. And here lies the answer to the question posed.

At the first and superficial acquaintance with the characteristics of the Russian 9x21 mm, it is difficult to notice something special. At first glance, the cartridge is like a cartridge that has quite comparable characteristics with other 9mm ammunition. This also applies to the energy of the bullet. For the Russian 9x21, it is 635 J. If you take some 9x19 mm Parabellum, then its bullet energy will be 480-617 J. But the Israeli cartridge 9 × 21 mm IMI has a bullet energy of 570 J and is quite freely sold in the United States. However, there is a small "but" here, which is that the 9x21 was developed specifically to combat personal protective equipment.

Gyurza cartridges, due to their power and design features, penetrate most helmets and body armor. At a distance of 100 meters, a pistol shot will most likely penetrate 10 mm of steel. This circumstance automatically translates the Russian pistol into the category of "special", including by the standards of the US arms market. Only government agencies and private military companies have the right to arm themselves with such weapons in America. Ordinary Americans are strictly prohibited from buying pistols of this sort.
