I live in Florida and recently obtained a CCW permit. The only pistol I own is the HS2000 9mm Luger. This gun is great and will work great for Winter carry. However, I am looking for a gun that is thinner in the butt where the end of the magazine is. You can see an imprint of the HS through a loose t-shirt while wearing shorts or jeans - I usually wear shorts in the summer. I want a pistol to wear IWB in the summer that is reliable and still has relatively good take down power (I need to feel confident in an unsafe situation arises). I am a college student, so cost is also a factor here. I've been reading posts about the bulgarian Makarovs and think this might be a good fit for me. Does anyone know how thick the Mak is compared to a gun like the HS2000 (www.hsarms.com)? If you don't think this is a good pistol for my situation, please give me some other suggestions. My last question is: Is it pronounced Mak as in Mack truck, or as in Mamma? Thanks for taking the time to read my post and helping me out.
