As a shorthand for Mechanical Plant, MP is spelled in Latin letters. A competition was announced in 1990 by the USSR Ministry of Defense to design a new pistol to replace the PM pistol, which was in service but still needed to meet modern requirements fully. A pistol with sufficient ammunition that could penetrate low-level body armor was needed. Yarygin submitted a pistol to this competition in 1993.
