Vostok Margolin .22LR target pistol?

[CountryGent]

The Mrs (@TeacherSmurf) has an interest in these pistolas as they were used as the basis of Princess Leia's sidearm in several pictures:

A New Hope


Return of the Jedi


The Last Jedi



Anywho, I don't know much about them. Were the ever imported into the US? I read somewhere that Chinese made a clone; did those ever come over?

Space thanks.

Excellent video. Thank you.

Who would have thought that a blind guy could have produced such a fine pistol!

Thank you @jbett98! Since Ian said it was such a pleasure to shot, @CountryGent is looking even more seriously for me.

I will also use this video in my geography class, as I currently have a blind student who sometimes needs some encouragement.
