The IZh-34 and IZh-35 were designed from 1973–1978. In 1976, state tests of the first prototypes were conducted. In 1979, IZh-34 and IZh-35 replaced previous Soviet standard sport pistols (ИЖ-ХР-30 and ИЖ-ХР-31). In 1986 the IZh-35M was designed and began serial production in 1987. In September 2008, all Izhevsk Mechanical Plant firearms were renamed and IZh-35M got the name MP-35M (Mechanical Plant-35M).
