  I have a W. German Makarov. Will a Walther mag fit in the pistol? If not does anyone know what will or where to get spare mags for this pistol? One of these days I'm gonna learn how to post pics. Thanks. Sam.

  No u can't. Though by the numbers u'd think that the 9x18 was in the same family as the 9mm and the .380acp, its not. In fact its a bigger diameter bullet.
  
  9x18 makarov is widely available, and from what I've observed cheaper than .380acp.
  Pickup a shotgun news for sources of ammo, if u don't have any local.
  
  If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

  Case failure and barrel bulge would be a "lucky outcome" Barrel damage would be definite, even with lead bullets. Leeblackman is right, look at the reloading section of a catalog, the 9mm mak bullets are listed by thereself because of a slightly bigger bore size.

  you can shoot 40s+w in a 10mm revolver such as the s+w 610 assuming that you use moon clips... do it all the time. the clips control the headspace like a rim would in a 38 special to 357 magnum scenario. yes the 380's will probably go off but eventually barrel erosion would result, but the cost of the mak ammo being generally less than 380 why would you want to?

  I have, in fact heard of someone doing this but wouldn't recommend it. In any event, bullet diameter is a bit different.

  Thanks for the info guys. I should have known this is why they sell .380 barrels for them (aftermarket). Once again thanks to all who help keep me on the straight and narrow. You guys are great.
