Sir John, the Makarov was a nice solid pistol that shot straight and was comfortable in my hand. I let it go because it was occasionally a pita to acquire the boom portion.
Another quality post.

My motto is "stay armed" these days. I bought my first handgun in 2007 when my wife and I made a grand road trip to the west coast. I got into a strange part of the backwoods in Colorado and was glad we had Smith and Wesson riding along. I hope I never have to shoot anyone. I just want to have my guns and not need them. I always believe I'd rather be judged by 12 instead of carried by 6 . I grew up with .22 rifles and shotguns but I prefer rifle hunting with my old marlin 3030 these days........ Everyone be careful, turmoil will definitely come if this election winds up being called for fraud.

John,
That picture speaks volumes!
Thank you for your service and thank you to all of the ladies and gentlemen on this site and everywhere that are serving and have served this country.
It is because of you and others that 2-Ton can think about getting that 1948 Chevy 2-Ton to JohnnyRib in S.E. Missouri Sunday. This site would probably not exist if not for the men and women who have sacrificed so much for what so many take for granted.
This is not political, it is just the truth.

The P-64 Polish Mak I carry is a dead ringer for a PPK- - - -except it's chambered for 9 X 18- - - - -halfway between a .380 and 9MM Luger. With Hornady Critical Defense 100 grain hollowpoint handloads, it makes BIG holes in ballistic gelatin. It also drops possums, racoons, armadillos and various other garbage can raiders "D.R.T.". I haven't had to use it on any 2-legged varmints yet!

SmithLakeChevy -- Thank you -- Your words humble me.
It was not a sacrifice to serve, it was a privilege and an honor.
Semper Fidelis,
John
