I agree these are some of the best 15 handguns ever produced, however, as stated earlier in these posts, clearly the list should have been extended to 16.
If you have never fired a Makarov PM, you have been severely neglected in your life amongst firearms. Although a host of soviet block pistols exist such as the P64, and Tok, and CZ-52, and PA-63, the Polish Wanad...The Makarov PM is pure beauty in simplistic design, very accurate, and fits the hand as if it should had been there when you existed the womb. Nearly impossible to break and once inexpensive. Not ideal for combat in terms of power, but a gem for any firearm enthusiast.
Available ammunition is still abundant, but mostly under powered junk. I find that cutting down 9mm NATO cases and forming them to 9x18, seating a 95 grain berry plated to .980 OAL with a 6.4 grain charge of HS-6 probably gets you 1050-1100 ft/sec over that weak, steal cased dirty wolf stuff. And this load, in my Bulgarian, can drive in penny nails at 25 yards.
