Frittered away some time taking pistol portraits this afternoon. Thought I'd share. WARNING: lots of pictures.
I'm sure you've all met my latest pride and joy;

Seriously, though, I really do need a Makarov. One can never have too many relics of the Cold War.

19That Makarov looks fairly small? is it really or am I being delusional again..
However, the Patek Philippe generates much envy in my bones.. Thats one hell of a watch.

Post Communist Russia US, makes the KGB green with envy as to how much is gotten away with spying on people.

Re: Makarov portraits - now with red commie grips!
22You would need a different barrel for .380 (they cost about $75), but yes you can covert them them to .380 with a little work. You would also need a special tool to remove the barrel.lurker wrote:in communist russia, watch watches you!Coach wrote:The capitalist running dog watch is right more than twice a day.lurker wrote:couldn't find a commie watch, had to settle for capitalist rolex?

9x18mak is not that hard to find and is a little hotter than .380 so it really is not necessary to change to .380…
Re: Makarov portraits - now with red commie grips!
24It actually looks a little goofy with the slide locked back. I suppose I was just trying to show off the shiny barrel. At any rate, it's a regular Bulgarian Makarov, vintage 1990.dandad wrote:That Makarov looks fairly small? is it really or am I being delusional
