Makarytch uses a centerfire primed cartridge – a more reliable setup than with other non-lethal handguns that typically use electrically primed cartridges .

Makarytch has the largest-capacity magazine in its category (8 rounds).

Makarytch pistol is an exact look-alike of the military issue Makarov that is still in service with Russian military and law enforcement.
