I agree, it's small, but too big for a pocket. I saw an original Russian one at a pawn shop not long ago, pre IJ-70. God I wish I could buy it......

And as a plus,9x18 mm is pretty cheap and easy to get. To you it may seem to be too big to be a pocket pistol, but believe me when I tell you that it is like a PPK to me. I probably couldn't fit more than 3 fingers on that tiny little SIG P238

guys, i love pictures, they make me excited to know that these such firearms actually exist. can we please post em then? PLEASE.:cool:

its like a pervert tyring to jerk-off without porn :eek:

I agree that it's like a PPK as far as size goes. I'd go so far as to say it's a smidge smaller. That doesn't make it a pocket pistol. I don't know what pockets you mean, but with the clothes I wear, it wouldn't be easy to conceal well. It might fit in the pocket of this one jacket I have, but if I'm wearing jeans and a jacket I'd rather have the thing in a holster so I don't have to worry about a snag as much.

To me, a pocket pistol is something you can drop in your pocket and forget about. The Mak has some weight to it and a little size too, not much, but a little more than I'd be willing to stuff in a pocket. Things like the old Colt 1908 VP and the modern Kel-Tecs are pocket pistols, PPKs and Maks are just highly concealable compacts.

The makarov wieghs in about 30 ounces loaded too.

I'm not very good with converting weight measurements, but 30 ounces sounds quite heavy for a pistol the size of a Makarov.

Its 26 with empty mag , and then you ammo. The makarov is a compact, not sub-compact, gun. It also is all metal, no polymer/alloy.

I probably wouldn't stick any gun in my pocket. When I carry it, I'll put in the waistband and wear a (unbuttoned) button up shortsleeve shirt over my T-shirt

Maybe not the coolest, but i like it:

And on a side note, I forgot about Kitty Corner Shot.
