History
History
The MP-412 was designed in the 1990s, and intended for export. However, it never entered production; it is unclear why this was, though it was likely due to its largest potential market, the United States, being closed, because of an agreement between U.S. president Bill Clinton and Russian president Boris Yeltsin in the 1990s, voluntarily banning the import of firearms from Russia to the United States.
Design and features
Design and features
The MP-412 is unusual in that it has a top-break cylinder design, rather than the more common swing-out cylinder design found on most modern double-action revolvers. It also features a composite lower frame, consisting of steel with a polymer grip.
