This review of the Makarov PM pistol, presented by Chris Baker of Lucky Gunner Ammo, delves into its history, design, and ballistics. While acknowledging its ruggedness and reliability, akin to the AK-47, the assessment critically evaluates its suitability as a modern self-defense firearm due to its dated sights, weight, and recoil, especially considering its current market price.
The FEG SMC-380 is a Hungarian-made compact pistol, based on the Walther PPK design and imported by KBI in the mid-1990s. It requires a 200-round break-in period for optimal reliability, though occasional stovepipes may occur during rapid fire. The DA/SA trigger features a heavy double-action pull and a smoother single-action with a short reset. It has a 6-round capacity, aluminum frame, steel slide/barrel, and weighs 18 ounces.
