The IJ70-17A designation identifies this as a .380 ACP Makarov-pattern pistol, with the "17" marking the caliber and the "A" indicating the fully adjustable rear sight. This export configuration mirrors the U.S.-market IJ-70 series profile and offers single-stack 8+1 capacity with a 3.68 inch barrel.
Construction is all steel with a blued finish, combining a fixed-barrel, straight-blowback action with a DA/SA trigger. A slide-mounted safety/decocker and a top-serrated slide rib are included. The front sight is a fixed blade paired to a fully adjustable rear sight.
Classic Makarov-style brown checkered one-piece wraparound grip with the star emblem, secured by a single screw, complements the traditional profile. The pistol is part of the IJ-70 series and uses Makarov-pattern single-stack magazines.
Origin is Russia, with the K.B.I., Inc. HBG, PA import mark on the pistol. Production and import align with the 1990s commercial Baikal/IMEZ offerings for the U.S. market. A Cyrillic-prefix serial format is observed on the pistol.
