For a pistol with an exposed hammer and a heel mag release, Makarov reduced this number to three, which was a distillation job of brilliance. I refer to the bottom and back of the frame - I suppose I could go back to the 1903 Browning - in which a multiplicity of parts powers the hammer, retains the magazine, and keeps the grips attached to the handle of a pistol. I’d like to know how Makarov thought it up. On the Makarov one (very long and strangely shaped) leaf spring, one wrap-around grip, and one screw do all the same jobs, and better, with incredible savings on manufacture, assembly, and repair time. I am always struck by the PM’s extraordinary simplification of components: on any Ruby or equivalent, there is a hammer spring, hammer strut or plug, the magazine release plug at the other end of the hammer spring, mag release and pin or other attachment to the frame, two grip panels, and two or more grip screws. Stay safe, stay healthy.All in all, probably one of the most under-rated yet most deserving sub-compact pistols on the market today - at least here in the United States. 9x18mm makarov feg pa 63 with original holster - all matching numbers 3 inch ' barrel spokane, wa 99224: used: : 975.00 : other model 9x18mm makarov arsenal firearms rare special edition bulgarian 9x18 mak polished chrome avon, mn 56310: new old stock: : 716.00 : 9x18mm makarov russian baikal ij-70 9x18 mak stunning mib complete ca. If this thing is as good as shooter as I think it’s going to be I might have to grab a second one.
If you haven’t got one I highly recommend you grab one while they’re available, They’ll dry up for a while then when they come back the price is just going to be higher.
