The OTs-38 Stechkin is a 5-shot double-action revolver in production and service with the Russian Army since 2002 chambered in the silent 7.62x42mm SP-4 cartridge. This revolver is a silent weapon. The effective range of fire is 50m. The fired cases are kept in the cylinder thus ensuring the absence of sound of ejected cases. The cartridge employs a captive piston so there is no flash or loud report upon discharge. As the cartridge is rimless the cylinder is fed via full moon clips.
