Not a range report as I wasn't at the range. I was, in fact, checking some fields for varmint holes. It has been kinda warm a few days, and I wanted to scout.
So, I took the new Bulgarian Mak out with me, and got to shoot 20 rounds of Barnaul hollowpoints. As far as I can tell, it shoots to point of aim, and in that short 20 rounds, I can see we will be great friends. No failures or reason to believe reliabilty will be less than desirable. The Bulgie barks a bit, but I was wearing ear plugs, so no damage to the ears. Feels snappy and pretty decisive when it fires, and has a good feel. Need to get some aftermarket grips as I found the recoil to be enough to warrant a secure grip and a little cushion. Mine came with the thumbrest grips, and I think I can do better in that department. Has a few sharp edges, and still may have to do something with the position of my middle finger on the trigger guard as I wrap my hand.
The double action trigger is rough, and I hope to get used to shooting in both modes da/sa. I am used to the KelTec pistols, so the da didn't seem a big deal.
So, that is my short report on this seemingly great value so far. I will know more as we get more familiar.
BTW, I found my P-11 iwb holster not too far off of fit for the Bulgie. Not made for it, but not too bad either.
