The MP-443 Grach in real life.
The MP-443 Grach, also known as Pistolet Yarygina (Пистолет Ярыгина, Yarygin's Pistol), is a Russian semi-automatic pistol designed by Vladimir Yarygin in the 1990s and manufactured by Izhevsk Mechanical Plant. It was developed in response to Russian military trials, which began in 1993, to replace the Makarov PMM. The pistol was designed to be capable of firing over-pressurized versions of the 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge (7N21 and 7N31) which are more capable of piercing armor. In 2003, it was adopted as a standard sidearm for all branches of Russian military and law enforcement. It fires 9x19mm Parabellum rounds from a 10- or 17-round box magazine.
In Battlefield: Bad Company's singleplayer, the MP443 is found alongside Russian sniper rifles, specifically the SV-98, the SVU, and the VSS. At the start of Crash and Grab, the player starts with a unique weapon set featuring the MP443 as the primary weapon, along with HG-2s.
In multiplayer, the MP443 is the standard issue pistol of the Russian Army's Recon kits. It has a 12-round magazine and can kill a player at full health in six body shots. It is the Russian equivalent to the American M9, and the counterpart to the MECMP412.

In Battlefield: Bad Company 2's singleplayer, the MP-443 appears in the hands of the player, a few NPCs, and enemies at close range when they empty their weapon. The player automatically acquires it in the level Upriver, when the player must kill a single soldier who is holding Aguire hostage; it is also the starting weapon on No One Gets Left Behind. During the free-fall segment of Airborne, the player is obligated to use it. After the first time it is acquired, it can be accessed anytime at supply crates.

The MP443 reappears in Battlefield Play4Free as a sidearm. It retains its 17-round-magazine and has moderate damage, low firecap and low recoil at the cost of 400 per day or 999 for unlimited use. Its front sight is also not visible when aiming down the sights. The MP443 is unlocked at level 5

The Elite's MP443 is an even further improved version of the MP443, with higher damage, killing in 4-5 body shots, larger magazine of 19 rounds and cleaner appearance, but comes at a higher cost of 2750 per day or 700 for unlimited use.

In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the MP-443 Grach's in-game stats imply that it has a higher damage than M9, but this is not the case. The M9 is now stronger. This is because while the gun's damage values were changed through multiple patches, the in-game menus were not updated.
Curiously, the weapon on the MP-443 Supp. Proficiency Dog Tag bears a resemblance to the PB (Pistolet Besshumnyy), an integrally-silenced variation of the Makarov pistol.
In Battlefield 3, the basic MP443, like the M9, can be unlocked for use by both factions by obtaining a service star with the weapon (100 Kills).
The MP-412 mastery tag shows the player's MP-443 kills instead of the player's kills with the MP-412.
