Interesting. Wonder if the Russians gave it a more powerful round than the Makarov? I’ve heard the Makarov round is underpowered.

It looks like it is going to offered as a platform for more powerful rounds than the Makarov uses:
"CALIBERS: 9×19 Para, 9×21 IMI, .357 SIG, .40 S&W"

Personally I am of the opinion that the Makarov round is an adequate round. Others have a different opinion.
I also am of the opinion that .32 acp is an effective anti-personnel caliber. So the bar, IMO, s a bit lower than might be the usual thought.
The best determiner is shot placement. Hits are good - effective hits are better.
Study anatomy.
