Need a little help

FloridaShark · 10-14-2007, 08:12 AM

The other day my wife and I found a gun shop with a
Makarov for $173.00 I realy could not see any markings on it but this is the first time I had a chance to see one. I am realy impressed with what looks like a step up from a PPK. ( I had a PPK and kept getting slide bite)dumped it. I also flet that this little jem flet realy felt like a apendage. Is this a good price for a Makarov and what should I be looking for? The reason I'm asking here is because the guy behind the counter seemed more interested in talking with his girlfriend on the phone then with a customer ( that just pissed me off) Thanks all.

That is a great price; hopefully it is there when you return....

If it is not there I'm going to a gunshow in November I should be able to find one at the show. I also want to get the CZ-82 as well.

Take a look at Makarov.com

It's worth taking a look at gunbroker.com as well. They've had Makarovs go for as little as $100, although the FFL transfer fee and shipping will drive the cost up.

I own both , a Makarov,and a Walther PPK/s both in 380A.C.P. and both will give me slide bite,but only when I grip it wrong!!!!!

My Maks give me slidebite. They also give me peace-of-mind. They are very solid, well-made pistols.

I own a Makarov 380cal. Awesome little gun, great fit fires accurate and continuous without any problem, we have more fun with that little gun than the other big caliber guns.

Dookiebutt,
"My Maks give me slidebite. They also give me peace-of-mind. They are very solid, well-made pistols."

Are you shooting a Makarov or a pistol chambered in 9 Makarov? I can see you getting bit by a PA-63, P-64 but not a Makarov..

there are reliable for the price, have a russian ij-70 hc in .380.

I have three Bulgy Maks. They all manage to bite the bone in my thumb. I think it's just the size and shape of my hand combined with the shape of the pistol.
