It says something when knowledgeable gun enthusiasts sometimes choose the Makarov as a carry pistol even today.Arsenal Bulgarian Makarov Semi-Automatic Pistol, importer-applied serial #BAM08390, original #BE22290, 9mm Makarov cal., 3.75'' barrel, blue finish, checkered plastic ''Star'' grips, standard sights, and one magazine. NoahThanks for this incredibly informative post. In 1000s of rounds fired, all dreaded "steel case" ammo, I cannot recall ANY failure except for limp-wristed doubling mentioned above. One of my regular carry guns is a Bulgarian Makarov wearing a spare EG Makarov grip, and I can hit One Ragged Hole accuracy at 15 yds with it. I own 13 pistols of Makarov design (Soviet, EG, Bulgarian, Chinese and one each Russian and Bulgarian commerical models), and have about 18K rds of 9x18 ammo. A firm grip and good trigger follow-through will eliminate doubling. Limp-wristing or "milking" the trigger of a Makarov-designed pistol can result in "doubling" of rounds. The Soviet/Russian, East German, Bulgarian, and Chinese manufacture Makarov design pistols are known for exceptional reliability (including IMEZ / Baikal / KBI / B-West versions) and a high degree of accuracy in the hands of an experienced shooter. It would be analogous to calling a Glock or SIG chambered in 45 ACP a Colt because they fire the same round as the 1911. Again, the Polish and Hungarian pistols are NOT Makarovs by design. IMO, a true Makarov-designed pistol of Soviet, Russian Commercial, Bulgarian military or commercial (marked "Arsenal Bulgaria"), East German, or Chinese manufacture is far superior to Polish and Hungarian pistols chambering the 9x18 Makarov cartridge. The Polish and Hungarian pistols are known for heavy trigger pulls which can affect accuracy. The Polish and Hungarian pistols which chamber the 9x18 Makarov round are NOT Makarov-designed psitols, and NO parts in the Polish and Hungarian pistols are interchangeable with parts from an 8 rd or 12 rd Makarov of Soviet/Russian, East German, Bulgarian, or Chinese manufacture.

Standard Makarov grips will not fit a "widebody hi-cap" Makarov. These hi-cap mags will NOT fit a standard 8 rd Makarov pistol.

Note that a "high cap" version of the Makarov was made for commercial export, and it had a "wide body" grip accepting either a 10 rd or 12 rd double-stack magazine (12 rds before 1994, 10 rds after 1994). The magazines are the same, 8 rds, for 9x18 and 380, and the pistols will also accept 8 rd Makarov magazines from EG, Bulgarian, and Chinese Makarovs. IMEZ and Baikal Makarov pistols were made in 9x18 Makarov and 380 ACP. The large-headed elevation screw on the IMEZ and Baikal-branded Makarov pistols (both made at Izhevsk) has a small diameter shank and is somewhat fragile if torque is applied to it.Īll internal parts in IMEZ and Baikal Makarov pistols are the same as those in Soviet PM Makarov-designed pistols, and also those Makarov-designed pistols made in East Germany, Bulgaria, and China (as the Type 59). The "IMEZ" Makarov pistols are identical in all respects to the Soviet military Makarov, EXCEPT for the rear sight, which is fixed on the Soviet military Makarov, and adjustable on the export-market-intended "IMEZ" pistols which were imported here mainly in the 1990s. IMEZ stands for Izhevskii Mechanicheskii Zavod, the same manufacturing concern as that above, and that which manufactured Soviet military Mararov pistols. The "Izhevsk" logo appears on the left side of the frame of Soviet military "PM" pistols. The original "PM" or Pistolet Makarova was manufactured by Izhevskii Mechanicheskii Zavod or Izhevsk Mechanical Factory located in the city of Izhevsk.
