This video explores the PHP MV-9, the first Croatian pistol developed by Marko Vukovic. Initially designed for the Yugoslav Peoples' Army in the late 1980s, the pistol was adopted by the newly formed Croatian armed forces in 1991 as the PHP ("Prvi Hrvatski Pistolj" - First Croatian Pistol) MV-9. The video details the design's evolution with a second model featuring a shorter barrel and simplified disassembly introduced in 1994. Approximately 5,000 early and 11,000 late pattern pistols were produced until 1995. The PHP was instrumental for IM Metal's entry into mass firearms production, paving the way for future designs like the HS-95 and VHS series. The content also thanks HS Produkt for access to early prototypes, highlighting the importance of learning from past designs.
