Mts-2-3 [ МЦ-2-3 ]

Lucky me. I've been just visited by Santa
He didn't have a white beard or a red fur coat, there were no sleighs or reindeer.
He even made me pay for the gift.
And yet, I am very pleased with his visit - he dropped me a Soviet Mts-2-3 pistol.
The average dispersion of my pistol, declared by the manufacturer in 1965, at 50 meters for a 10-shot series is 2.38 cm ( shot 60 cartridges, from the rest ).
I hope I can get close to this result.
Since 1952, 5,233 Mts-2 pistols have been manufactured, in at least three versions. The exact date of the end of production is not known, but based on photos collected on the Internet, I assume that production ended in 1969. I did not find any photos of this gun with a serial number starting with 70 - the first two digits of the serial number indicated the year of manufacture.
So, with over five thousand pistols produced, I hope that quite a few of them survived and there will be some owners who will share their opinions and shooting experiences.
I wonder if an electronic version of the Manual and technical instruction are available? I happen to speak Russian so I can read the original Soviet Manual.
