Description:
**SOLD**For consideration is a Bulgarian Arsenal Makarov PM pistol chambered in 9x18 Makarov caliber. The Makarov pistol or PM is a Soviet semi-automatic pistol. Under the project leadership of Nikolay Fyodorovich Makarov, it became the Soviet Union's standard military and Militsiya side arm in 1951. Shortly after the Second World War, the Soviet Union reactivated its plans to replace the TT pistols and Nagant M1895 revolvers. The adoption of the future AK assault rifle relegated the pistol to a light, handy self-defense weapon. The TT was unsuited for such a role, as it was heavy and bulky. Also, the Tokarev pistols omitted a safety and magazines were deemed too easy to lose. As a result, in December 1945, two separate contests for a new service pistol were created, respectively for a 7.62mm and 9mm pistol. It was later judged that the new 9.2×18mm cartridge, designed by B. V. Semin, was the best round suited for the intended role. The lower pressures of the cartridge allowed practical straight blowback operation (reducing the cost and complexity of the weapon), while retaining low recoil and good stopping power. This particular example is in very good condition exhibiting light handling marks. The finish is typical of a pistol made in an Eastern Bloc country....not perfect but good....very few had highly polished bluing. There is a little wear on the front of the grip frame and right side of the slide. Overall the pistol is in good physical and mechanical condition. The bore is good with strong rifling. This Bulgarian Makarov would make a great addition to a collection of militaria or even a fine shooter.
