Igor, what are they roughly talking about in the video?

Looks good! I wonder as to if/when they will be released. Reading some marketing material further it looks to go into production mid 2017

Oh, boy! Trump and Putin BFFs. I'll bet we see these things on the shelves in gun shops all over America by the end of January. Then they can take their time dealing with unimportant matters like NATO, Ukraine, Syria....

This is good news.
Unfortunately, none of the images I can find show the pistol without its grip as without it one would be able to work out to some extent whether the trigger mechanism of the SP15 is (as the text of the linked pages Ruig included seems to indicate) like the HR30 or if it is closer to Efim Khaidurov's final design of the SP08 (or for that matter, like an AW93). The embedded pictures which were posted to TT in 2009 of Khaidurov's last design shortly before he passed away have all disappeared after their original source was deleted, but I have found this image on a cache which shows something radically different from the AW93 (the trigger of which has never been one of its strong points)

If trade relations improve, production is confirmed, supply is reliable and price is reasonable, they could be on to a winner...but I've had that thought many times...
