[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1001518, member: 711"] One more player is the Chinese Maks. PA 63 and P64 just shoot the Mak ammo, but are not Makarov pistols. There are some commercial Maks with "target" sights put on for import points. These are a product of Russia (post Soviet). They are otherwise all Makarov, though some of them shoot .380 ammo. (Do not shoot .380 in a 9x18 gun, by the way . . .) Most Makarovniks (Mak nuts) like the East German guns best for fit and finish. Function is reliable in all four countries of origin. I have some from all four countries, and find them all to be very reliable. I almost always carry an old East German gun I have had for many years. These are simple, robust, uber reliable guns. I have a ton of spare parts I never expect to need. There is also an elegant little .22 conversion kit floating around for these. I have a couple of these on dedicated frames, and they are fun to shoot. Over on Gunboards.com there is a Makarov forum, and there is also a site called Makarov.com which has about everything you would want to know about Maks. They used to have a store, closed it, but are leaving theri very useful site up. CB [/QUOTE]
