PP-91 Kedr
First variant and standard production model. Looks very similar to the old PP-71 design, but was improved in various details to suit series production. Chambered for 9x18mm Makarov (not PMM). Can be fitted with a detachable suppressor.
PP-91-01 Kedr-B
Variant with suppressor fixed to barrel. Possibly features venting holes in barrel for increased performance. Produced in limited numbers.
PP-9 Klin
Variant of the Kedr firing the more powerful 9x18mm PMM cartridge. Nearly identical to Kedr, but has a stronger recoil spring and improved feed ramp. Production ceased in early 2000's since PMM cartridge was removed from Russian use due to safety issues, wear on firearms and lack of performance.
