This version has a double stack magazine. The Czechoslovakian Cz-82 is another variant that uses the 9X18 round. The Polish P64 is also an PPK clone that shoots the 9X18 round, again not a Makarov. The Hungarian PA-63 is more of a clone of the Walther PPK, it shoots the Makrov 9X18 round but is not a Makarov. There are other guns that are Makarov cailber guns. Makarov Caliber guns that are not Makarovs

I am very accurate with either the Bulgarian or the East German Makarov. I just have not run across either in my travels yet. I really need to finish my collection with a Soviet Military Model and a Chinese Norinco Makarov. They have adjustable sites and say “ Made in Russia” on them. There are some Commercial Versions of Russian Makarovs. The main Soviet military/government versions were the Russian, Bulgarian, East German, and Chinese versions. The website is a great source of information about all the different variations. I still sometimes carry the Bulgarian Makarov. I have carried both a Bulgarian and this East German as a carry gun before I got my main carry gun a Beretta 92fs. I like to think it was carried by a East German Secret Agent, but I have no proof of that. The markings on this gun tell me that it was manufactured in 1961. East German Makarovs are very collectable. This particular pistol, I bought on an Online Gun Auction Site for $425. One of those guns I really like is the Makarov Pistol. I have mentioned on this website before, that I have a fondness for Soviet Guns. Today is an 1961 East German Makarov Pistol. Every Wednesday, I feature one of the guns from my Collection.
