History

Malaysian Innovation (Malinnov) is a Malaysian company which operates its own small arms in the form of a semi-automatic pistol.[4] The design of this weapon involved research and development for four years with almost ten prototypes and each was extensively tested. They develop every tool, barrel and components themselves; and through much trial and error fixed any design prototype that they built. The basics of this weapon were originally from Glock and Beretta pistols and MALINNOV developed a sidearm with this M1P classification for reverse engineering.[5]

Design

There will be two variants of the pistols – the first type is to be used for military and law enforcement purposes while the second variant is used for competitive sports shooting.[6]
