Dont Makarovs take a 9x18 caliber? I have read it is a very meager round. Russian troops in Afghanistan said the only use it was was shooting yourself so you didnt get captured.

I owned a Russian made Makarov for a few years before having to sell it. I liked it overall, reliable and decent trigger but the one thing which stood out was it’s accuracy.

Literally off the scale for this type gun. If I was very careful, it would consistently put all shots into a single hole at around 30 feet.

Oddly enough, I had another gun which would do the same and it too was an oddball in a very similar caliber. It was an Argentine made .380, a very early model with an odd take down in which you squeezed the front dust cover to field strip. For some reason I have a mental block and can’t remember the name right now.
