hehe toad... energy with a 380 is about 50lbs less (or one 22 slug) makarov runs about 1200 fps with euro ammo.. no hand cannon but about the best comprimise for a pocket gun caliber I have seen.

I have a Walther ppk stainless in .32 and still feel that even my broken up old body can summon up the energy to kick the bad guys butt after I put 8 .32 hydroshocks into him. The 9x18 is much better.

beetle... the guns come with 2 sets of grips... the gouche military ones and some much nicer target ones that are made for regal, small hands. people who have ruined their hands by physical labor won't be able to use them so you will have a certain class factor.

Lazs, I bet you're looking forward to Monday, when the new month of March rolls around. You will be able to get Mak #2.

I'll take the April one!

why not loin? I bet a weeks salary that you would enjoy shooting the little commie gun what ya think?

Found ammo for $88 a thousand... commie hollow point stuff for a commie gun... smells like old cap guns (the red strips ya know?) when it goes off... I kinda like that smell. Hven't got even one through the Kaliforia red tape yet but shot a bulgy at the range... little things shoot well.

9 is the diameter and 18 is the length of the cartridge or something like that.

Toad:

I can't believe you are whining about the stopping power of this fine piece of Eastern European craftsmanship. Besides the manual clearly states that for safe operation of the weapon, targets must be kneeling and properly handcuffed. If you just follow instructions, weapon effectiveness is more than adequate.

yep.. the 9 is for the diameter of the bullet and the 18 is the length of the case. to confuse things... A .380 is .356 dia. and 17 MM long in the case... the parabellum or 9mm luger is 9mm or .356 with a case of 19 mm long... the 9 by 18 makarov is .364 dia. with a case length of 18mm... both the .357 magnum and 38 special are .357 dia.

I bought a couple thousand rounds of russian 9 by 18 ammo in anticipation of Kalifornia letting me have the first of MY guns... It is a little disconcerting to have them stick to a magnet.
