A post of pain. Sorry for being off-topic. In the photo is a pistol (any guesses on the model and caliber?). It has a non-detachable holster-stock, and no, that’s not a suppressor — it’s a faux suppressor (barrel shroud). The difference is that it’s just a 'tube' placed over an extremely long barrel to make the overall look less hideous.
All these perversions (a sane person wouldn't call them anything else) are necessary to reach the required 800 mm overall length in a ready-to-fire state, just to comply with the Law on Weapons... But even so, I’m happy I don’t live in certain European countries where police show up at your door just for posting a photo from a shooting range on Instagram.

It looks to me like a Stetchkin Automatic. They were originally chambered in 9x18 Makarov but apparently some variants were made in 9x19 Parabellum. They were designed to be select-fire automatic pistols as personal defense weapons for tank crews and other support personnel in the USSR. I do not think very many were made and fewer made their way to the US in fire-able condition.

Yes, you're absolutely right. The photo shows a Stechkin automatic pistol chambered for 9x18 PM. You're well-versed, if you haven't already Googled it.

Back in 2015 a Turkish F16 shot down a Russian Jet that hat violated Turkish airspace and ignored some 10 warnings. Two pilots ejected, one was killed on the ground and if I remember correctly he was carrying one of these Stetchkin pistols. John
