MAKAROV: 380 (9mm SHORT) PISTOL

SEE HOW DIFFERENT IT IS TO OPEN AND ASSEMBLE THIS PISTOL.... .. ITS THE SAME DESIGN (looks) AS THE 007 JAMES BOND GUN...WALTHER PPK.. .
The Makarov PM is a blowback operated, double action pistol of all-steel construction. Manual safety is located on the left side of the slide, and, when engaged, safely brings hammer down from cocked position, and then locks the hammer, sear and slide. External hammer can be cocked manually for the accurate first shot in Single action mode, or can be cocked automatically by the longer and heavier trigger pull in Double action mode. All-steel magazine holds 8 rounds (12 rounds for PMM pistols), and when last shot is fired, slide remains in the open position, thanks to the slide stop. To disengage slide stop, one must pull the lever on the left side of the frame down. Magazine catch is located at the bottom of the grip, but some export versions of Baikal-442 are available with button magazine release at the base of the triggerguard. PM is fitted with fixed open sights as a standard, with click-adjustable open sights available as an option on export models.

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?

[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..

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.

.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!!! :-)

[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
