Croatian Military IMP Model PHP MV 9mm Pistol ** Cool and Unusual Eastern-Bloc Pistol! **

Description:
The Croatian-made Model PHP 9mm Pistol was designed in 1990 for the Croatian Military after gaining their independance from Yugoslavia.  Manufactured for only 4 years between 1990 and 1994 by IM Metallic, the PHP pistol was a mixture of design elements taken from the Walther P-38 and Beretta Model 92, among others, and used a locking-block action.  The model name "PHP" stands for "Prvi Hrvatski Pistolj", which translates to "First Croatian Pistol".  The very unique-looking pistol was by all acounts a good weapon; proving itself to be reliable, accurate, and relatively well-made during it's service life.  There were two models of the PHP manufactured, the MV with a 4.1" inch barrel, and the VM with a 5.5" inch barrel.  This particular example is a 9mm Model PHP MV and is in excellent all-original condition.  As you can see from the pictures, the blue finish is in excellent condition and shows only a few tiny handling marks.  The bore in this pistol is minty and pristine with no imperfections.  The original grips are also in excellent condition and free from any wear, cracks, chips, or repairs.  All of the controls on this pistol are in perfect working order, and this Model PHP should function just as well today as the day it left the factory.  It comes with one original 15-round factory magazine that is numbered to the gun.  If you have been looking for something interesting and different for your gun collection this Croatian Military Model PHP MV 9mm Pistol would be a great choice.
