How so? I was thinking it was a nice way to carry without having to have one in the chamber
I can see your point about not wanting to carry one in the chamber and it being a fast way to chamber a round into ready position. ( I think that if you CCW you should always have one in the chamber) but we'll save that for another conversation .
But IMO, My guess is if you are in a tactical situation (or not) and your firearm gets caught on something..Let's say your are sitting or squatting down and you go to stand up and your grip get caught and is pushed down thru your holster, now your firearm is hot and u are not completely in control.

I've noticed over the years that there are two distinctive types of gun owners.
1. Those who are willing to tinker a little for everything to work right & will seek knowledge to help them enact a repair. These are also the folks who will buy used guns & don't mind tinkering & learning as they go.
2. And then those who won't, but kvetch loudly about anything that goes wrong without ever attempting to fix it or call the MFR to get warranty Service. Or they take it to a smith and then kvetch about the cost of repairs and the problem.
And they usually drive BMW's and/or went to Florida State...
Such is most definitely the case of just about any pistol under $500.

I'll agree with stalebiscuit on this one, the Bulgy Mak that I have is a solid accurate little automatic that has never hiccuped on any ammo that I have used.
As for the holster, it's unusual alright.

I don't own a Makarov, but a pa-63 is pretty close. and it's a solid, reliable (super easy to field strip w/0 tools needed) firearm and shoots the dirty brown bear ammo without issue.
