We took the Polish P-83 “Wanad” Pistol to the Range today. What a pleasant surprise shooting this pistol is. It lacks the typical bite that most 9×18 Makarov pistols of similar size have, and is really a zippy little shooter. Accurate as well.
The P-83 “Wanad” replaced the P-64 as the official Polish Military and Police sidearm in the early 1980’s. I believe the “Wanad” refers to the metal or metal process used in the construction of this Pistol. It’s a heavy little sucker at 1.6lbs unloaded. I am sure that helps with the little felt recoil.
