Thread: My New Makarov

Nice! Next up a range report?

Yeah, I have to save up some money and get some FMJ to shoot at the range.

The HP you see in the picture is either no longer manufactured or no longer imported to the U.S. so I'm trying to keep it stored, ya know? That 115 gr HP is the most effective factory 9x18mm ammunition ever, penetrating to 11 to 13 inches in ballistic gelatin where the lighter 94 FMJ and 94 HP only get to 6 to 8 inches.

Got a great deal on this stuff. I originally had planned to put Novak Colt Mustang .380 night sights on it, but now I like the stock sights. Still might replace the sights sometime, need to shoot it some first. I'm working on getting some grips that let you see the rounds from the outside.

Maybe one day get a longer barrel and compensator.

I REALLY like this pistol.

The weight and size are perfect for my hand. I have unorthodox hands with long fingers and it was hard to find something that fit. Maybe 2 pounds fully loaded, 2.5 or something.

I like how the safety is similar to the 1911, both in function, direction, and slide locking for holstering. The slide release is very strong but extremely easy to release.

Looks nice man! How much are they costing now?

I had an East German I picked up from a local shops years ago, but I traded it for another gun. I miss that lil gun.....

$280 without shipping or transfer for a Bulgy.

Got all that you see in the big picture of stuff for $350
