And Sandy Strayer left a while ago.

And then Virgil Trip hadn't been part of the company for at least five or six years.

And they finally just went, maybe we just change the name.

But yeah, no, I was impressed to see how light they are because, I mean, his STI is not a light gun.

Yep.

No, that's pretty common.

And may I also say, speaking of copies, and you mentioned both sides may have carried the gun, I will note that –

I mean, I don't know as far as parts overall go.

I'm not super familiar with it, but essentially the Makarov is in fact a Walther.

I mean, if it isn't a copy, it is heavily influenced on it.

Yeah.

But so you had the, you had the Makarov pistol, uh, the checks had the, uh, the CZ 82 and 83, uh, pistol, which is that's, it's a, that's a little bit of a further of a departure because that's got the, you know, the slot, the frame mounted safety, uh, uh,

And things like that, but it is still very PP-like in its internals.

And then Poland made the Radom P-64, which is essentially a PPK clone.

There's zero parts interchangeability, but...

I will say that it is almost identical with the exception of, of course, the Radom is in 9x18, so 9mm Makarov.

But also, it has a heel magazine release instead of the push-button magazine release.

which is actually super interesting because the PPs have always been push-button magazine release when pretty much all European pistols back then were heel release.

But yeah, so there's, there's any number of guns that are yeah.

Clones of the PP.
