Let's keep in mind that many, maybe most of the commercial Russian Makarovs were chambered in .380 Auto.
As five of my six "eastern handguns" are in 9x18, any future ban or high tariff on Russian 9x18 ammo will have no effect on my Russian Mak using .380 Auto.
At Makarov.com, guys are now describing their Bulgy Maks' arrivals, which are basically unissued, in cosmoline.
JJ45: You mentioned "East German" things. Just a coincidence that a buddy I see now and then escaped the DDR about four years before the wall came down.
He found an EG Mak. at a gun show in superb condition and was on it like a Katze auf eine Maus.
As for caliber, somehow knowing that a mugger is quietly running towards you --very quickly-- from your 6 o'clock might be much more important, because a sudden gun in your face gives you No time to Reach for that big .45. This happened to a club member. Wallet gone, no sweat.
