Traumatic pistol Groza-051 Evo, description with photos and videos

general information

The automatic system of this pistol is based on a mechanism for working with the introduction of recoil during a free shutter. A special spring, which the engineers placed under the barrel, holds the bolt-casing in the last frontal position. The frame of the gun itself is made entirely of ordinary plastic. Other parts that bear the main load during shooting are made of high-quality steel, which is used in the production of the gun. To move the shutter-casing, a special iron base was placed in the frame.

The manufacturer firmly attached the barrel structure to the gun frame. The trigger mechanism came out completely standard for a traumatic weapon. The Groza-05 pistol received a double-action mechanism with an open-position trigger type. The hammer is cocked using the safety type.

For the safety of the shooter while carrying the gun, a safety lever is used here. To activate it, you need to activate the lever, which is located on the left rear side of the bolt housing. The safety is turned off painfully simply by a comfortable movement of a huge finger, so this can be done while removing the weapon from a holster or pocket in the event of an attack.

The design of the sight is also very traditional for traumatic weapons. At its base there is a front sight and rear sight, which are fixed in special grooves in the “dovetail” position. For the convenience of users, it is possible to make lateral corrections by moving the front and rear sights. The magazine is latched using an ordinary front sight, which is placed on the base of the trigger guard on the left side of the frame. The magazine holds 15 rounds of ammunition, arranged in 2 rows. During the shooting process, all cartridges are rearranged into one row.

Pistol thunderstorm 021 do you need a license 2022

So nothing changes. For real self-defense in the city - legs and a gas cylinder. For real self-defense in places far from civilization - a shotgun (and thoughtful indications for what purpose you transported this shotgun in the car) For training at a shooting range - a shooting range pistol for rent. For those rare and unlikely cases when there may be a real danger to life in the city.

Well, ok, rubber shot. From the cheap ones - Makarych of any modification (even MP-80-13 chuzhtam, in short the same thing), Jorge the first From the more expensive - Thunderstorm EVO of various numbers (021, 041, 031, 051), T-12 AKBS, T-12FM- 1 (T-12 only with pre-reform cartridges) R226-TK Among the very expensive ones (and with an extremely unfavorable price/quality ratio) - PM-T, Groza v4, T12 Slovak, Jorge - S.

All types of ammunition (rubber, noise or gas) can be used for shooting.

Automation functions only when using cartridges with rubber bullets.

Groza 021 has a number of features:

The handle has a polymer shell. The Thunderstorm pistol has a double-action trigger: the shot can be fired from a pre-erected trigger or self-cocking.

The crime rate these days forces every citizen to think about their own safety and the safety of their property.

But it is not always possible to call for help or call the police, then you have to rely on your own strength.

Many types of weapons require a permit. Let's look at what weapons you can buy without self-defense and a license.

Groza-051 with EVO barrel

Like any other things in our world, this pistol has been upgraded by the developer over time, which should have made it better. So, I started developing and then creating the newest model of this weapon - Groza-051 with an EVO barrel.

Outside, no consumer can find any configurations. The developers have one hundred percent preserved the appearance of the old version. The only thing that can be found is that this is a specifically improved version of the trauma weapon, an index indicated on the weapon itself. Thunderstorm-051 is indicated here.

The main difference, as you might have already guessed, lies specifically in the design of the barrel. For its production, a new, higher-quality design is used, which made it possible to improve the technical properties of the weapon and its quality.

A new development in barrel production is called EVO. In its essence, this method of barrel production is a continuation of the development of v4 or v4.1 type barrels. The main advantage here is the barrier, which is installed in any traumatic weapon to exclude the possibility of using iron or live ammunition. Here it is a sleeve of misaligned drilling. They install it directly in front of the chamber, which reduces the load on it and significantly increases its service life. Such development is currently a feature of all modern traumatic weapons.

As the Groza-051 traumatic pistol demonstrated EVO technology, it immediately became very popular. The fact is that thanks to such a barrel, the number of various breakdowns is reduced, and the accuracy of fire is also improved. In general, such a trunk has the following advantages:

• Excellent accuracy when firing any type of cartridge;
• Absence of any significant breaks from the pile;
• There is no need to change the mainspring for certain types of cartridges;
• The recoil of the bolt and the feeding of the cartridge proceed smoothly with all types of cartridges of any power.

As a result, there is a significant improvement in the reliability of the gun. When using cartridges with the highest level of released energy, the Groza-051 pistol will not be inferior to any traumatic weapon. If you shoot cartridges with low energy release, then such a weapon will be even better than many types of trauma weapons. In general, the EVO barrel has become even better in its features than the v4.1 barrel.

Any model has a completely polished chamber with good calibration. The gun magazine is adapted only for 9 mm RA cartridges of any type. Due to the design features that the engineers introduced here, any possibility of the cartridge sticking into the upper part of the chamber is excluded.

After the first few batches, the manufacturer quickly responded to all user reviews with shortcomings and corrected them, offering the Russian market of self-defense weapons a good option. This pistol can, as mentioned above, work with any 9 mm PA cartridges. The features also include that the EVO barrel significantly increases the energy released by weak cartridges.

Pistol manufacturing technology

Pistols of the “Groza” type are, to a certain extent, a copy of various types of weapons for combat and service use.

Some elements of the presented trauma were borrowed from their combat counterparts. Those components of the pistol that are of decisive importance for this type of weapon (traumatic) have undergone changes.

These include the barrel of a pistol. It was adapted to fire rubber bullets.

The pistol frame can be made of either steel or polymer materials. The choice of this or that material does not in any way affect the characteristics of the weapon

When choosing a pistol, pay attention to the material of its individual parts.

Read a useful article about whether you need a permit for a traumatic pistol in the Russian Federation.

And from this article you will learn how to choose a traumatic pistol for self-defense.

The use of polymer materials in the manufacture of small arms has a number of advantages. Among them: light weight and ease of wearing. Among other things, polymers give the frame more elastic qualities. Such a frame, no matter how much force is applied to it, will not be subject to deformation and will remain in its original position.

Reviews from the owners of this weapon

In order for you to decide whether you should take this pistol for everyday carry for self-defense purposes or not, we have collected two reviews from real customers who have been using the Groza for several months now.

Alexander writes: “This weapon can be used for sport shooting. When shooting quickly from a distance of 15-17 meters, the spread of bullets is no more than 30x30 cm. Personally, I use this weapon only for sports shooting (about 200-300 shots per day), because it is light in weight and my hand does not get tired because of it . The most popular cartridges when shooting from this gun were massive charges of 80 J or more. In general, it can be carried with you often. It doesn’t cause any discomfort; in practice, in critical situations, so far, thank God, I haven’t had to use it.”

If you are going to buy this traumatic pistol, then you definitely need to find out about its technical properties:

• The cartridges used are 9 mm RA;
• 207 mm in length;
• 124 mm - barrel length;
• 131 mm high;
• 34 mm wide;
• An unloaded pistol weighs 700 grams;
• The magazine holds 15 charges.

Dmitry writes: “First of all, I’m satisfied with the weight of the pistol, even with a one hundred percent loaded magazine. I wear it in a holster and don’t feel any pull, especially after 2 weeks of wearing it. In general, the dimensions are also satisfactory: not long, not tall, not wide. Everything is specific because it is necessary. I manage to carry it secretly even in the summer, when I’m wearing an ordinary T-shirt. And this despite the fact that I do not have some kind of huge physique: 173 centimeters in height and 70 kilograms in weight. After using it for a year, I have no complaints, everything is comfortable. So far I’ve only had the opportunity to shoot at targets in the forest, and I’m pleased with the accuracy and accuracy.”

Comparison with MP-78-9TM

This pistol can be associated with another Russian product of the same class and similar in size - MP-78-9TM. But I would immediately like to say that such a comparison is not entirely correct, because the difference in age for the traumatic weapon in these two specimens is very large. But we will allow this for ourselves, because both weapons are Russian-made.

First, it's worth mentioning the overall quality, where Groza-01 is the absolute winner. Disregarding all aspects of the properties and reliability of the design, I would like to say that the 01 is better than its opponent simply in terms of the material from which it is made. Although, if we associate it with the MP-78-9TM, produced on the basis of the combat PSM, then these two pistols can still compete in the “quality” column.

Next, it is worth saying that the Groza-01 barrel is ahead of its own rival in all respects. Firstly, it has a more advanced design of the barrel itself, and secondly, its strength and reliability are simply better, since it is made of higher quality material. At a minimum, the Groza-01 barrel does not need to install a reinforcing sleeve to increase strength. As for the dimensions, the MP-78-9TM wins here, but only due to the very narrow and awkward handle.

In terms of power, Groza-01, which is comfortable to carry in a holster, wins again, leaving no chance for its own opponent. Naturally, you can try to shoot the MP-78-9TM with strong cartridges, but after a few shots its barrel will simply fall apart. Naturally, 01 can also be associated with the trauma of foreign manufacturers, and there it will win in almost all indicators, but it’s easier to write a separate, huge article about this.

From all this we can draw a small conclusion that Groza-01 is the best Russian-made traumatic pistol in its class. But we should not forget that it is based on the Ukrainian Fort-9R.

Self-defense weapon: pistol Groza-04 / Groza-041

Pistol Groza-04 caliber 9mm R.A. currently certified as a limited-kill firearm

The Groza-04 pistol, which has a plastic frame, completely replicates the design and construction of the Ukrainian Fort-17T pistol. The automatic operation of the pistol works according to the scheme of using recoil with a free shutter. The bolt-casing is held in the extreme forward position by a return spring located under the barrel. The pistol frame is made of high-strength plastic. The frame of the Groza-04 pistol contains a steel frame with guides along which the bolt-casing moves. Apart from the plastic frame, all other parts of the Groza-04 pistol are made of weapons-grade steel. The barrel is rigidly fixed to the frame. The trigger mechanism is double action, hammer type, with an open arrangement and safety cocking of the hammer. Safety in handling is ensured by a safety lever, the lever of which is located on the left side of the rear part of the pistol's bolt-casing. The safety switch is turned off by moving the lever to the lower position, that is, by a natural downward movement of the thumb. Sighting devices consist of a front sight and rear sight, fixed in dovetail-type grooves, with the possibility of making lateral corrections by moving them. The magazine latch is located at the base of the trigger guard, on the left side of the frame. The magazine has a double-row staggered arrangement of cartridges with their rearrangement into one row at the exit. Magazine capacity - 15 rounds.

Currently, the company Tekhnoarms CJSC is producing a new model of self-defense weapon - this is the Groza-041 pistol with an EVO barrel. The new pistol differs externally only in the index in the name; the model designation Groza-041 is indicated on the bolt-casing. The main difference between the Groza-041 pistols and the EVO barrel is the new barrel manufacturing technology and the quality of its processing. The barrels of modern Groza pistols are manufactured using the new EVO technology and are a further development of the v4 / v4.1 barrel type. As a barrier that prevents the firing of a metal bullet, a non-coaxial drilling bushing is used, installed immediately behind the chamber, which is a distinctive feature of all modern weapons produced by Tekhnoarms CJSC.

Since the appearance of self-defense weapons on the Russian market, EVO barrels have proven themselves to be excellent in terms of accuracy and reliability. The EVO barrel has a number of advantages: stable accuracy characteristics regardless of the cartridge used; no separation from the pile; no need to replace the mainspring when replacing the cartridge used; stable bolt recoil and cartridge feed rates, independent of cartridge power, in other words, omnivorous. The result is increased reliability. The dependence of muzzle energy on the energy of the cartridge is not so strong; with good cartridges, Groza pistols shoot the same as all others; with weak cartridges, Groza pistols shoot better. Shooting results from the EVO barrel have improved in all respects compared to the v4.1 barrel.

The chamber is polished to a shine and strictly calibrated, and the magazines are adapted strictly to the thickness of the cartridge case of the 9mm RA traumatic action cartridge. The 0.4 mm difference in the distance between the jaws of the new and old magazine completely eliminated the possibility of the cartridge sticking into the upper part of the chamber. The manufacturer managed to take into account and quickly correct all the previous shortcomings of the first batches, now Groza pistols work reliably with any cartridges from the box. The accuracy and accuracy of the barrel is again close to the level of previous v4 barrels. Moreover, the EVO barrel significantly improves the performance of weak cartridges, especially those with soft balls.

Owner's impressions: “My shot is small, so far everything is fine. The barrel is V1, that is, the most “toothy”, so there is slight discomfort when cleaning. I shot 50 J, although there is a letter from Technoarms about the possibility of using any. I chose it based on how it fit in my hand. Subjectively, Groza-04 is more comfortable than Groza-02, good balance, recoil does not interfere much. The accuracy and “penetrating ability” at the recommended distances are excellent, apparently they really shoot, and not in words.”

Purchase of injury

Perhaps not a single law is formulated in such a way that there are no explanations or exceptions to it. A competent lawyer will always find a loophole to make legal a process that at first glance seems illegal. As for purchasing weapons, you should remember that you have a special permit. For some types of weapons such permission is not required.

For example, pneumatics can be bought freely. But according to Russian law, it is necessary to purchase weapons of limited destruction only after receiving official permission from the licensing authorities.

There are special weapons stores where, with permission, anyone can be offered a weapon. If it is not in stock, you can order the desired model through the seller. Buying a weapon in a store will save the potential buyer from possible problems. The transaction will take place legally, with the issuance of relevant documents. Without these documents it will be impossible to register the trunk.

Separately, I would like to draw attention to sites that sell trauma products. We don’t argue, they offer a favorable price, and the product catalog contains any model. However, the sale of weapons that require licensing is quite problematic according to all the rules. Although you can often find useful information on these sites.

For example, a buyer finds the desired model in a catalog, finds out its cost, reads a short review, and then heads to a gun store. Some reputable online stores allow you to order goods online. They are guaranteed to provide all the accompanying documents for the selected barrel, and will also make every effort to ensure that the buyer has the right to purchase the weapon. We will not provide a list of these sites, since new stores are opening and old ones continue to operate. It is advisable to find out such information on thematic forums.

As for the cost, it depends on the seller. Some stores tend to run regular promotions. You can only focus on the average. The average cost of a Thunderstorm pistol ranges from 15 to 25 thousand rubles. The only exception is model 031. Due to the additional rail for equipment, its price reaches 30 thousand.
