yep... bulgarian makarovs in 9x18 for 149 bucks apiece... I have even heard of em for as low as $125.

makarovs are prety decent little pistols that shoot well... Ammoman has mak rounds for $109 per thousand in hollowpoint.. even the elderly on fixed incomes could afford this fine firearm and enough ammo to practice with.

guns are new in thick cosmoline with 2 8round mags and an extra set of target grips...

might not be a bad idea to buy about 10 of em. What great Xmas presents they would make huh?

Seriously, I need to start somewhere with handguns. Tell me where to buy it and show me how to shoot it this weekend.

Yeah, where? Kind of a poor mans PPK it would seem. Bet the workmanship is pretty good too.

go to gunsnstuff.com and you can see em there or tell any FFL dealer that you want the bulgarian makarov and they will get it for you. You will have to go through an FFL dealer in any case.

nice little double action pistol.. You can probly download dissasembly manual on the internet. you will need it... cosmoline is nasty stuff.

Cheaper than dirt has ammo for it too but Ammoman has free shipping to the land of the free.

Is this a great country or what?

Umm, those prices are about average. You can find better if you really look, but it doesn't matter much.

If you're looking for cheap guns, there's an Importer by the name of Century Arms. They import cheap knockoffs of popular guns. I.E. 1911's, 92fs's, g3's.

However, I can guarantee that the extractor pin on each of these guns is bad.

So add 20 bucks to the price for a new one and you've still got a pretty good price.

think there is a http://www.makarov.com

Mine was a Bulgarian made by Arsenal.
fine little guns, mine shot well,never jammed on ball(hollowpoint was another matter, don't think they like it to well. )

Makarov's suck!! Err...wait.

Well as my name implies, I own a Makarov. A Russian 9x18mm model. It's a VERY reliable pistol, pretty good stopping power with Corbon rounds and great price. I've had mine for 7+ years and never had a missfire.

I use to keep it under my seat when I lived in Louisiana. Now that I'm in Cali I can't have a concealed weapon in my vehicle...but I don't feel the need for it like I did in Louisiana.

If you get one I highly recommed getting the Pearce grips to replace the plastic ones that come with the Mak. It gives the pistol a great grip after.

AIM pistols has "lightly" used makarovs for $119 with 4 extra magazines included! The bulgarian are suppossedly the best of the bunch.

FYI, they'll most likely ship it to a local dealer near you, which in turn may charge roughly $25. Check with a gun dealer near you before purchasing, I could have saved $15 on my Taurus .40 if I had...

Also, they run a background check on ya thru the FBI, which may take 5 minutes, but they have up to 3 days for this check, so you may have to wait once it comes to your local gun dealer.

Sounds like a PITA, can't I just walk in and buy them somewhere?

Yep, silly looking. Btw that's not mine. It was from the Makarov website. Just showing how the Pearce grips look.

That pull key thingy is for an extended mag to allow easier pulling of the mag release I believe.
