I have one too and it's fine little pistol. Mine also shoots a little low left. Good luck with yours.

I am definitely liking it so far. Looking at masrchal grips for it now. This is pretty.

Heck for under $200 i can then add 3 more magazines and these grips for a real sweet little gun.
Have you had any issues with it feeding (battery actually) the "green box" stuff? The seller and Beloit is great, but the blunt nose on the green box seems harder for it on the first load per mag. and they are boxer primed

So I got the wolff spring tuning kit. Finally have ended up with the 15lb recoil spring and the 9# hammer spring. Only 1 issue since, that was weak hand double feed. No slide lock other than mag, so a good ("grab and strip" practice.
But here is the rub of this new setup. it is very enjoyable to shoot now. Here is one of four targets for a spring postal shoot. (7rounds/7yars/1st shot da/ reast sa one or 2 hands.) Target paper is 8-1/2 x 11
I LOVE the accuracy of this little pistol. (ok my others weren't as good, but they go to single hand at 15 yards (strong and weak) and then 2 at 21 yards.) This just shows the pistol has the potential, even if I am lacking. 6 out of 7 in the bulls eye. Baldy, any interst in selling yours so I have a matched pair?

for a cheap gun I'm very happy with mine too, I've had it for about 10 yrs now with no shooting issues however, a few weeks ago I finally stripped it down almost to the bare frame and slide for a thorough cleaning. I noticed alot of wear on the slide where it hits the hammer, there is a tiny spring and cup that pushes the firing pin down from the slide, the spring was broken into about 3 pieces so I'm assuming that is what caused the extra wear.
I haven't bought a new spring yet but looks like I'll have to buy a universal kit and see what works.

there is some great info on the gunboards forum, makarov forum. I got the Marchal grips, very nice to shoot. much nicer to carry with flat grips instead of that thumb rest.
wolf kit is like $21 includes recoil/hammer/and firing pin springs.

No I'll hang on to mine as it gets used for the truck and the wife likes to shoot it. Glad you like yours. Good luck with it.

Thanks Baldy.
Actually I found a source for some. I thought I would be getting 2 as they were advertised for $99 each, but, despite the fact that the Magazine the add runs in is "display untill may 27", I am told the add prices are no longer valid from that company. Perhaps not legal, but..... hey for $30 more, i can still get one more.. just not a "pair and a spare"

Are defensive rounds for 9mm Mak hard or easy to find around you?
(I'mm thinking Pow r ball)

Oh yeah, with the new Stocks......

It sounds like the Royal guard may be a good choice.

Old Padawan (or some type of Arizona pirate) I like the looks. Is this open bottomed? Can the cant be greater? I seem to be finding my range of motion more limited, and believ it or not, the stron cant on the SOB, at 5 oclock, is easier than a lesser cant on my shoulders right now. Course we will see what the Docs say over the next few months.
Any ways, thanks for pointing this out, I hadn't looked at it.

Sure do like them grips you put on it. Makes it look like a different pistol. I may get me some of them.

Baldy, Yeah I love them. An easy company to deal with too. Check out his work (link above and in "wood grips" thread) these were i think $25. I ordered them (ash, checkered) unfinished so I could finish them with tung oil. The maker wanted to see them with tung oil as he is thinking of trying some like that instead of with the laquer finish he had used. They have a pic of this gun with purpleheart, smooth grips.......
