Have you been considering a Makarov recently? Do you want to know more about it? It’s actually a simple design and such a historic piece that it would be hard to not get one for your collection eventually.

During the 1940s and 1950s, the Soviet Union was looking for a new sidearm for military and police. They adopted the Makarov pistol in 1951. From then, some other countries made their own verisons and copies of it. Bulgaria was one country who made an almost exact copy of the Russian Makarov. This Bulgarian Mak is what is featured in the video and what you could find at military surplus dealers currently.
