I've got a Russian .380 thats very reliable, never jammed in the 5 years I've had it. And is very accurate with all types ammo. I can bust quarter size targets 10 to 15 feet all day long. Didn't buy it for long distance but close quarter fighting if necessary.
@1337Leva There were millions of these Makarovs made. I only have experience with mine, and I've found it very accurate. I'm no hardcore shooter. I don't get technical with groupings, hot barrel/cold barrel, etc.. All I ask of a gun is: does it shoot where I aim it? This one does. Now, it's not perfect. Nasty recoil. Inconvenient mag release. Still, I love it.
I just bought one today. I walked in the gun store hoping to find a P99 but when the clerk said it was made in Russia, I jumped on it immediately. They're very difficult for me to find for some reason, most examples I find are Bulgarian. Can't wait to take this to the range tomorrow! What's a decent and fun load for these? I have plenty of Monarch 94gr rounds but any suggestions as far as range ammo?
Some people think the 9x18 and .380 are pretty much the same. A 9x19 Luger will trump a 9x18 in most categories, but 115gr Buffalo Bore or Brown Bear load in 9x18 has the potential to equal the medium loads of the 9x19. A .380 can't do that. The only reason I favor a 9x18 over a 9x19 is cost if both the ammo and guns. A solid CZ 82 is less then $250.
I love this gun and want to get one. From the one I shot though it seems to have a surprising amount of recoil for what it is. The one I shot was way more snappy than my xd40 and kicked like a subcompact .45. Maybe the rounds were really hot.
Back in 1995,first handgun/pistol ever purchased was a Russian made Makarov with adjustable rear sight.But in Western caliber .380,instead of original 9mmx18.
I got a 1984 Bulgarian recently. Love the total simplicity of it. So easy to do a complete detail strip as well. shoots very tight groups between 5 to 10 yards. Although with any surplus gun you should always do a complete strip, clean and lube before firing. Guy i bought it from only really cleaned the bore.. never tore it completely down. Lots of cosmoline still hanging around.
"The 9x18mm round is equivalent to .380 ACP" no it aint! though makarov pm might chamber and fire .380acp as well, dunno.. I wud like to try one. is .380 btw more easily accessed than 9x18?
How can a 9x18 be the equivalent to a .380 acp? That is saying the 9x18 is the equivalent to an already existing cartridge that is on its own different from it. The .380 ACP is the 9x17, the shorter cartridge of the 9mm family. An example of equivalancy would be more or less the .45 ACP, that compares more(in terms) to the Tokavev's 7.62x25mm in performance and perhaps feel.
@MrNosfaratu The 9x18 has very similar ballistics to a .380 acp. It sends bullet of similar weights and grains at roughly similar speeds. Hence why it's an equavlent to a .380 acp. A 9x18 makarov can't use 230 gr bullets like a.45 acp. and the speed between the two rounds is different. Not equivalent at all. The 7.62x25mm is nothing like the .45 acp or 9x18 makarov.
@esh325 The x18 does have a longer casing and thus is propelled differently. It still has the same caliber, but the pressure is different. I suppose it is simply similarity that counts, but something that one could consider equivalent would be a 7.62x54 to a .303 British. The gripe is more about the word really. Taking two different things, yet very similar and comparing them respectively. Not two of almost the exact same.
@MrNosfaratu 7.62 tokarev is completely different, only nominal power is same as .45. Tokarev is military armor piercing cartridge, unsuitable for self-defense (it penetrates bad gun, car behind him and continues travelling).
@OkurkaBinLadin Exactly. Completely different. Yet if you wondered what would be the equivalent of that cartridge? Well you could compare the .45 ACP. Does not mean they are literally the same thing, but are similar in various and small features. Also I have no idea where you got that information regarding the Tokarev round, but it really isn't what you described it to be.
@ST4leave They are completely different cartridges. You cannot fire 9mm parrabellum in a 9x18 or you can risk destroying the gun or seriously injuring yourself. The same could happen if you 9x18 in a 9mm parabellum gun.
@MrFryguy001 If you can find an original soviet or east german makarov they are C&R eligable. Russian maks made after the east fell in 1991 are not eligable, neither are chinese or bulgarians.
What do you mean? They're just different rounds. 9x18mm has a longer case length and larger bullet diameter, and has the potential to be a "hotter" round.
El cartucho correcto para la mayoría de pistolas sin modificar es el 9 x 18 mm Makarov, aunque están disponibles cañones de recambio y modelos civiles calibrados para cartuchos .380 ACP y .32 NAA.
Los cartuchos 9 x 18 mm Ultra o 9 x 18 mm Police tampoco son compatibles con la Makarov, aunque tengan la misma denominación de 9 x 18 mm. La bala 9 mm Makarov tiene un diámetro de 9,25 mm, en comparación con los 9 mm del Ultra y los 9,02 mm del Police.
Se debe tener sumo cuidado en emplear los cartuchos adecuados, ya que existen varios cartuchos de calibre 9 mm que no pueden ser disparados por una pistola Makarov bajo ninguna circunstancia. Los cartuchos similares que muchas veces son confundidos con el 9 x 18 mm Makarov son el .380 ACP (también conocido como 9 x 17 mm Browning Corto, 9 mm Corto o 9 mm Kurz) y el 9 x 19 Parabellum.
@levaslevas No it's not the Russian version of SWAT you fucking buffoon. SWAT is SWAT spetznaz is one of the elite units of special forces. What are you smoking queer?
@levaslevas No I'm Russian so what you KNOW is completely INVALID because you're WRONG. Get it? SWAT is just a heavy armored police unit. SWAT is not any kind of special forces. Spetznaz would be like the SAS or Navy SEALs. Learn your shit, it's not that hard.

How stupid do you got to be to post complete bullshit out of your ass by presenting it as fact. Fuck you for trying so hard to sound smart. You must have a shit life to go so far to try to sound informed or educated. Read a book motherfucker.
@levaslevas and again, you just told me I'm not Russian. And you were wrong again. The more you talk the more everyone can see how fucking dumb you are. I won't stop till you stop because you'll just prove some more how fucking dumb and ignorant you are. You're just a complete fucking idiot.
@rocaho001 You keep going on and on about a simple comment, like some fat-ass faggot. Its hard to keep a straght face reading what you are "informing" me about.
@levaslevas Lol why do you keep changing the subject from the point at hand. I'm not "informing" you about anything. All I'm saying is you presented a lie, something you fucking MADE UP, as a FACT. And that's fucking sad. I guess the only thing that's pretty funny is how said you are. You're at a low low level in life buddy, it's time to really reevaluate yourself if you have to lie online to look smart.
@NoLeftThumbs They're definitely some brave hardcore mofos. but the SAS and SEALs are some flawless brutal mofos too. I remember when that school hostage situation happened in Beslan, Russa. Some of the special forces guys were covering kids with their bodies knowing that they will die. Truly brave soldiers.
@NoLeftThumbs definitely. probably has something to do with russia's "brutality" when concerning those who oppose their law. they;re just a no-nonsense people and they'll easily give their lives to protect public, like shielding civilians with their bodies, something SAS or SEALS wouldnt do, because its crazy. brave as hell though.
@levaslevas no it isnt. spetsnaz just means special forces, which is generally associated with military. they're much more than swat teams, they have more training and bigger operational scenarios.
@cantroos fine, you win. It wasn't a true story. I was making a joke by saying that it was true when it clearly wasn't likely to be true. I have learned my lesson about lying. Are you happy now?
Check out my channel to see a Polish P-83 (Mak) in action. Bad ass gun and the best looking out of all the maks imo. Fits right in my pocket yet is verrry accurate for its size.
@XaMitV that means you're a gay man, not that there's anything wrong with that. And if you can fit your tiny little weiner into a 9mm barrel, I think we can all see why you are 40 and still living in your parent's basement earning $11/hour. Good job though 11.50 is not far away.
@cantroos Don't you think that's a tad uncalled for? I make a joke and you insult both my penis size and life? (or you're just trollin', in which case I'll just ignore you after this)
@XaMitV Well then explain to me how a reasonable human being can "true story" become sexually arroused by a handgun, that's very disturbing, like psychopathic or sadistic. Or it's the other case which I originally speculated upon.
Case ejection is VERY positive on my Bulgarian Mak. Never had a failure of any kind with any ammo, hollowpoint or hardball. It seems to like Barnaul "Brown Bear" best.
I fear for your left index finger, why not wrap around the indents of your right hand and have your thumb along the side of the slide? I love this pistol, so controlable. Does your Bulgarian one have a lot trigger slack? My Russian one has almost half an inch of place if the hammer is back.
@ revan7666 I've seen the guns and I admit you're right about the AK-47 and the STG-44 being different, but the Makarov is essentially the same thing as a PPK, just with a different bullet and 2 more rounds per clip. and by the way,don't talk to people you don't know like you're so goddamn smart you prick
@ GassNaut The Makarov was an almost identical copy of the Wather PPK The main difference was that the Makarov has 8 rounds per clip and the PPK has 6. The AK-47 was modeled off of the German STG-44, and those are the main two that I've heard about... so yeah really.
@elmakarov REALLY? What are you? another CoD idiot that thinks you know guns from playing the game? The Kalashnikov and Sturmguwerre have almost nothing in common! Look at the internal designs of the gun and they are NOTHING alike. You can't judge the gun on its appearance! Hell, just read Mikhail Kalashnikov's auto-biography, and he plainly says that the two have nothing in common, and he did not take anything from it.
@revan7666 you do know his design was completely based off of the Stg 44 in fact almost every assult rifle with the type of gas system like the Ak-47 used the STG 44's design because of its insane durability maby the looks arnt the same but if you were to feild strip it you could see alot of resemblence
It is said that the Mak was a copy of the German Walther PP. They are very similar in size and take down is the same. Currently, the Mak and the smaller PPK are two of the most popular METAL frame concealed carry pistols with both in .380 caliber. I have one of each and love them both. The PPK goes with me all the time while the Mak stays next to my bed. If you can find a nice Russian Makarov (good luck) for less than 300, you better jump on it quick as they are getting harder to find.
i found it hard to get my hold on that gun, but once i got it... man its a fun piece. only complaint are those rounds.. man my thumb and forefinger were green when i got home
actually the .380 acp is equivelant to a 9x17MM round a 9x18 mm makarov is slightly more powerful than a 380 but still ballistically inferior to the 9x19mm parabellum
i used to shoot with the original russian makarov when i was 5 years old on new years eve, because my grandfather was in the georgian militia. nice thing, brings back memories..
I love these guns, and really want one. So badly I almost want to make it my carry gun because I plan to buy that the day I turn 21. Only thing I don't like about them is the lack of an ambidextrous safety. Sucks being a lefty sometimes, but most modern autos I can manage with just fine.
@albaniashqiptar It's possible it may have either replacement grips or may not be an actual makarov but another similar 9x18 pistol. How long have you had it? Where'd you buy it? Do you know what country/region it's from? This might help you answer the latter: makarov com/graphics/markings.jpg but thanks to youtube rules you'll need to replace spaces with dots and add the 3 w's at the start.
@turk464 : As DictionaryDOTcom puts it: corresponding in position, function, etc. Not the same, but fills a similar niche. I am not saying you can chamber a .380 round in a standard 9x18 Mak. However, there are Maks that have been rechambered/rebarelled for .380.
@esh325 AFAIK Russian astronauts were using a special three barrel pistol. One is rifled for a standard AK round and two smoothbore. It has a detachable buttstock which is also a machete. They discontinued using it since 2006 cause all flight are joint now and NASA dislikes an idea of a gun at ISS.
I've got a Russian .380 thats very reliable, never jammed in the 5 years I've had it. And is very accurate with all types ammo. I can bust quarter size targets 10 to 15 feet all day long. Didn't buy it for long distance but close quarter fighting if necessary.

You must have a shit life to go so far to try to sound informed or educated. Read a book motherfucker.

@NoLeftThumbs They're definitely some brave hardcore mofos. but the SAS and SEALs are some flawless brutal mofos too. I remember when that school hostage situation happened in Beslan, Russa. Some of the special forces guys were covering kids with their bodies knowing that they will die. Truly brave soldiers.
rocaho001 8 months ago
@NoLeftThumbs definitely. probably has something to do with russia's "brutality" when concerning those who oppose their law. they;re just a no-nonsense people and they'll easily give their lives to protect public, like shielding civilians with their bodies, something SAS or SEALS wouldnt do, because its crazy. brave as hell though.

@ revan7666 I've seen the guns and I admit you're right about the AK-47 and the STG-44 being different, but the Makarov is essentially the same thing as a PPK, just with a different bullet and 2 more rounds per clip. and by the way,don't talk to people you don't know like you're so goddamn smart you prick

The 9x18 round is more powerful than a 380. It's in between a 380 and a 9x19 round.
hawkermustang 11 months ago
@ GassNaut The Makarov was an almost identical copy of the Wather PPK The main difference was that the Makarov has 8 rounds per clip and the PPK has 6. The AK-47 was modeled off of the German STG-44, and those are the main two that I've heard about... so yeah really.
elmakarov 11 months ago
@elmakarov REALLY? What are you? another CoD idiot that thinks you know guns from playing the game? The Kalashnikov and Sturmguwerre have almost nothing in common! Look at the internal designs of the gun and they are NOTHING alike. You can't judge the gun on its appearance! Hell, just read Mikhail Kalashnikov's auto-biography, and he plainly says that the two have nothing in common, and he did not take anything from it.
revan7666 11 months ago
@revan7666 you do know his design was completely based off of the Stg 44 in fact almost every assult rifle with the type of gas system like the Ak-47 used the STG 44's design because of its insane durability maby the looks arnt the same but if you were to feild strip it you could see alot of resemblence

It is said that the Mak was a copy of the German Walther PP. They are very similar in size and take down is the same. Currently, the Mak and the smaller PPK are two of the most popular METAL frame concealed carry pistols with both in .380 caliber. I have one of each and love them both. The PPK goes with me all the time while the Mak stays next to my bed. If you can find a nice Russian Makarov (good luck) for less than 300, you better jump on it quick as they are getting harder to find.

actually the .380 acp is equivelant to a 9x17MM round a 9x18 mm makarov is slightly more powerful than a 380 but still ballistically inferior to the 9x19mm parabellum

Why does my makarov have a shield with stars instead of one star like other makarov?
albaniashqiptar 1 year ago
@albaniashqiptar It's possible it may have either replacement grips or may not be an actual makarov but another similar 9x18 pistol. How long have you had it? Where'd you buy it? Do you know what country/region it's from? This might help you answer the latter: makarov com/graphics/markings.jpg but thanks to youtube rules you'll need to replace spaces with dots and add the 3 w's at the start.

@turk464 : As DictionaryDOTcom puts it: corresponding in position, function, etc. Not the same, but fills a similar niche. I am not saying you can chamber a .380 round in a standard 9x18 Mak. However, there are Maks that have been rechambered/rebarelled for .380.

@esh325 AFAIK Russian astronauts were using a special three barrel pistol. One is rifled for a standard AK round and two smoothbore. It has a detachable buttstock which is also a machete. They discontinued using it since 2006 cause all flight are joint now and NASA dislikes an idea of a gun at ISS.
