Ok,. so S.O.G. has these puppies for $95 beans complete with 2 magazines. They are a forged aluminum alloy framed PPK clone that shoots the fiesty makarov cartridge. Who owns or has shot one of these and what is your opinion on the firearm. Also, what is y'all's opinion of the "fiesty" 9X18 cartridge? Thanks.

  I had some trouble with mine, particularly in chambering. Makarov.com fixed that with a new high stength recoil spring. Now the gun works fine and it is well worth the money. I find that Wolf ammo is too powerful, it hurts the hand. Go with another brand and it is fun and accurate for what it is. I handload personally, using Lee 95 gr. cast bullets and B'eye powder. No trouble holding about a 12" group at 20 yards; not great but fun! SOme aftermarket parts for these are starting to come out so go for it.

  They were only offering one when I got it and did not list the # but looking at the sight now, it was probably the 13#.

  I have 2 9x18 and 1 .380, and the are nice little guns. I like the makarov cartridge and I also reload it. I even bought Lee bullet mold and cast my own. The only problems I have had is that some of the commercial hollow point ammo is a little to long to fit in the magazine. The double action on these guns is very heavyand the recoil is a little heavy. The Makarov pistols are a lot better guns. They are steel and my East German guns are very accurate. The pa-63 is a good carry gun as it is smaller and lighter, but there are sacrifices for those features.
