MAKAROV: 380 (9mm SHORT) PISTOL

[chenlixingjstz]

cool Unique musical I prefer only a pistol

[iamstarstuff001]

Great music.

[spuddud19]

it's a 9x18 which is a makarov round.. not a 380 or a 9mm short....

[donaldkeypunch]

For the retards posting that it is a 9x18 mak and not the .380, the Makarovs, specifically the newer Baikal made ones (MP-442) come in BOTH 9x18, AND .380.

[ckdafinest]

bad choice of music



[yeshigolden]

I have the same pistol,one Bill Clinton let in until mother Hillary said no. I would like to convert it to a .380, how do I do that?

[stephaniebrugel]

I have 1 , made in east germany

[rey1933]

annoying music

[randwolf13]

I bought mine about 12 years ago for $169.00 and I love it! It is Russian made and is chambered in .380. It has never failed to function and is very accurate despite that pitiful front sight. I wouldn't take $1000.00 for it. It is one of my favorites! Great pistol!

[graybeard19]

Great video of tear down....I love this pistol. I had a Hungarian PPSH I think it was called, basically a copy of this and the german walther ppk back in mid 80s. It was an very well built gun. Most americans have a 'woody' about non american arms, especially eastern block weapons. the thing is, they are very very well built and built like a brick outhouse at that. I love the music too, cannot understand the lyrics, or the language, but it is really nice. By the way.This ammo hits hard!

[remus5]

.380 acp = 9x17mm

9mm makorov = 9x18mm

9mm lugar = 9x19mm

The makorov pm pistol is NOT a .380acp

[tierfuehrer2]

Walther PPK is a copy of the Makarov. That´s funny.

[irbe77]

Thats not a 9mm, its a 380

[Dreamcast270mhz]

Great video, and lets clear up chambering confusion here:

9mm is .38 inches, hence the .380ACP

Sizes:

.380ACP: 9x17mm officially

9mm Mak: 9x18 officially, most powerful chambering for unlocked breech

9mm Luger/Parabellum: 9x19 officially

None of these cartridges are directly interchangable, you in most cases need a rechambering/new barrel to safely fire ammo other than intended.

Sources:

2-3 years firearms experience in a family well acquainted with guns.

[skateordiepat]

anyone know where ican get this stuff CHEAP like surplus or anything 9x18 only

[p51chkt]

Please learn some firearm safety before you hurt yourself or someone else.

[Dreamcast270mhz]

@p51chkt, He did just fine unloading the gun, he racked the slide after dropping the mag and disassembled it great. Anyways, most firearms safety classes are full of paranoid freaks. If a gun is NOT LOADED then it is fine to do it how he did it. I mess with friends anyways with my remington that has no firing pin, gets some good laughs. I see the point of the classes, but I make sure in all my guns a round is not chambered before I begin messing with it, which is exactly what he did. So shut up

[IndianaJesusfreak]

I have a 9 x 18 Mararov, as well as several other guns. My $200 Makarov is every bit as accurate and reliable as my $550 Glock.

[beethovenmetalhead]

actually all 9mm are 380 9x19 9x18 9x17 are all 380s because 9mm is exactly 0.38 inches but when you say 380 it regards more to 9x17 and not the other ones

[TheJomogogo]

@beethovenmetalhead

No, beethoven. 9X19 (Luger)and 9x17 (.380 ACP) bullets are .355 cal, not .380. The 9mm makarov is .364.

[beethovenmetalhead]

@TheJomogogo thanks for that my drill instructor told me if they have 9mm bullet they are 380. It sounded strange for me too

[Kalashboy762]

nice gun i might get this pistol too in 380 acp

[Renta1Cop]

id rather keep my 9x18, its about 100 FPS more than the 380 ACP, still a fantastic gun, I have a bulgarian one, i was a bit worried about dropping it because of the free floating firing pin, it happened and the weapon with a round in the tube and safety off, did not fire. Amazing technology

[SATTAR000002]

wtf is the song i h8 it!!!??

[neodoc1976]

Всёж-таки(как я понял из контекста коментария к видео самого автора),Вальтер ППК не был скопирован с ПМ.Скорее наоборот.

[mixwell1983]

Cool little pistol.. Saw them for sale a lot when I was getting my first handgun back in 02.. I'm kinda glad I went with the Taurus pt92 just because 9mm para is a lot easier to find plus the ammo prices now are unreal.. I still wouldn't mind owning this as they're pretty cheap to buy.. This is 9x18 right ? .380 is 9x17 and 9mm para is 9x19 ? I think this one is right in the middle isn't it ?

[KironStrife]

ya the 9mm Makarov round is closer in size to the 9MM luger. and can be fired in a 9MM luger barrel. I have both the .380 and the 9MM makarov barrel.

[mitko321]

[Kalashboy762]

@Kalashboy762 i'm sorry if that cme out offensive

[nungleppam]

never mind ... u r right... its ok ,

[eerakk]

Very good ibedam, I loved it,

spirfre

[StSimonOfTrent]

That gun has killed alot of people in Russia

Sadly many were Christians

But the gun did its job as designed to do

The AK47 of handguns..

[silver760]

This would be a good gun for you to have a go at re-bluing.If you bought a Birchwood casey cold blue kit and some of the bluing paste they also make,you could do a lovely job of rebluing that pistol,its an ideal candidate!

[silver760]

I do notice that alot of your pistols have seen some considerable use.What is your newist pistol.I know you said to me that pistols are very expensive and hard to come by in India,does this go some way to explaining why alot of your pistols are somewhat worn?

[silver760]

@silver760 seems very dry too,do you oil your guns?

[nungleppam]

yeh, thats true its very costly to have pistol in INDIA.. even the law is very strict... well some of them are new like the S&W n GLOCK .. maybe the video quality is bad thats why its dull... i oil my gun once a week n after firing too..

[Southern661]

@nungleppam

Walter PP - 1935

Makarov - 1951

Who duplicated who?

[nungleppam]

Trials for a new pistol started in 1947. Many designs were submitted and tested, such as pistols by Baryshev, Rakov, Voevodin, Simonov, and Makarov. In 1948, the trials resulted in a selection of the Makarov pistol in 9x18 as a next military sidearm for Soviet armed forces. However, it took three more years to refine its design, before it was officially adopted in 1951 as the 9mm Pistolet Makarova or PM in short.

[nungleppam]

Most Western pistols were required to fire 9mm NATO ammunition just to have commonality in ammunition with the standard issue sub-machine guns; Soviet designers had no such requirements, and by the late forties 9x18 looked as if it was good enough for a military pistol.

[glutn4punshmnt]

The Makarov was developed when the Russian military requested a pistol of the Walther PP type. I'm not sure if the PPK was out yet at the time, but I think it was. The PP/PPK design came before the Makarov and the Makarov is based on it directly.

[taeim43]

The makarov is mostly produced in 9x18mm but, they also come in .380cal. and .32cal.NAA

[TheVeneth]

and this pistol is makarov for 9mm makarov

[mangoleon00]

the marakov is 9 X 18

the .380 is 9 x 17 (9mm short)

your title is worg.

[TheVeneth]

exactly 9mm makarov and 9mm browning are two different cartridges, especially in parametres and power..

[nungleppam]

yeh u r right, but u can still fire the .380 ACP rounds ... the bullet is bit loose , but can still be fired.. 9X 18 is bit out of stock here so i use 9 X 17. ... better to have my gun loaded than to be empty n witing fot the rounds , when u can still fire.... try if it wont burst/blast

[romancic09]

YES!!! THE BEST MADE IN USSR and RUSSIA!!!!!!!

[iluvmym4]

Nice Mac!

[Ultraussie]

It has nothing to do with Bond's Walther PPK, the Makarov was influenced by the PPK though.

[voodoo4u1975]

like the take down....very cool

[romancic09]

НАСТОЯЩИЦ МАКАРОВ ТОЛЬКО ИЗ РОССИИ!!!!!

[kg4zyz]

.380???? .380 = 9x17, Makarov = 9x18, 9 mm= 9x19; The .380 round and Makarov round are two different rounds. Just wanted to let you know. Take care, be safe, and have fun shooting!!! :-)

[TheJomogogo]

They made some in .380 for export because it's more popular in the US he might have one of them.

[benzo430]

I wouldn't recomend but, couldn't you fire 380 (9x17) in a 9x18 mak if you were in a pinch?

[bankypunk]

@kg4zyz

This pistol is called the Makarov PM. The 9x18mm round is also called Makarov. However, not all Makarovs are 9x18mm. Many were made in .380, and there are many who have had an aftermarket barrel replacement in .380. I have an East German Makarov with such a barrel replacement. You can't even chamber a 9x18mm round in it.

[MrTurkeybird09]

@kg4zyz i have one and its not a milsurp the 380 acp was sold commercially for the us market

[ImWatchinTheTube]

very cool, simple, dissasembly!

[JTZ45]

The Makarov is a duplicate of the PPK actually, so credit Walther first.

And you pointed a loaded gun at the camera. Granted, it wasn't chambered, but since you're behind the camera, you should know better.

[fivestars20]

its not a DUPLICATE. the mak was heavily influenced by PPK design but the mak was made simpler and more technological in regards of production and maintenence. Its not a copy, more like an improved version

[dudefreezone]

ya number 1 rule of gun safety. "Dont point a gun at anything you dont want to kill/destroy"

[patch5129]

seriously. He pointed a loaded gun right at himself.

[gamesbok]

This looks like a copy of a Walther PPK.

[Slic3R1]

wow it's wery easy to dissasemble

[roboto222]

Nice one
