I thought I had shown my four Makarov pistols on this site but I was remiss. Well, here they are in a group photo. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy owning them. Regards, Richard :D

Richard,
I've considered getting a Makarov because they were inexpensive and plentiful but I know nothing about them other than what I just read in your posts on the other thread (which are very informative). What type of ballistics does the 9x18 have ref. velocity and/or energy? I would guess they would be less than the 9x19 Luger. Do they ever convert these to the 9x19? What are the costs of getting a hard chrome job, etc.? Sorry for so many questions.
Look'in Good.
Like the hard chromed one :)
We probably would have guessed that!! :mrgreen:Quote:

Charlie, the Mak 9x18 is dead center between the .380 (9x17) and 9mm Luger (9x19). The Maks are very good handguns and I do not feel naked carrying one. See if you can find a Bulgarian Mak at a reasonable price (-$200) and you should be okay.
If You can't find a Mak for less than $200 look at used 9mm Star BMs. SOG has been selling the BMs for $129.95 and thay are a bargain. The picture is my Star BM.
Regards,
Richard :D

This is just a guess on my part but here goes: Novak Colt .380 nite sites installed $275, hard chrome by Tripp or Ford's Guns $150, Grips by Hakan $70. I guess my Bulgie Mak cost me about $650 but I feel having a one of a kind pistol is worth it. Regards, Richard :DQuote:
