Operation is straight blowback with a frame-fixed barrel, paired to a DA/SA trigger and a slide-mounted safety/decocker. The pistol uses a heel-style magazine release and single-column magazines for an 8+1 capacity.
Sighting equipment includes a fixed integral front blade and a tall, target-style adjustable rear sight with click windage and elevation screws. The slide adds practical touches like a top rib and rear serrations for confident manipulation.
Ergonomics are defined by a black one-piece wraparound polymer grip with a star medallion and "Made in Russia" molded at the base. A lanyard loop at the grip base is included. Dimensions are compact with an approximately 3.6-inch barrel, about 6.3 inches in overall length, and roughly 25–26 oz empty.
Country of origin is Russia, 1990s era, with a B-WEST TUC:AZ import stamp. The pistol retains its cohesive factory configuration and comes with useful extras including two magazines, the original box, manual, and a spare wraparound grip.
