Notes
The PM-06 is the latest evolution of the Glauberyt line; an optional 250 mm barrel allows fitment of a suppressor.
Background
The Glauberyt name traces back to a Cold-War Polish machine-pistol program; the PM-06 carried the design into the rail-and-modular era, keeping its trademark forward-folding grip that doubles as a handguard.
