This is my wife’s model 15.

As an aside, I am truly enjoying this thread. I am 68 years old and live in North Carolina. Never knew of this threat or imagined it would even be a threat. Thank you for enlightening us easterners !

I agree that the trigger is smooth for a J frame and it is easy to shoot in double action because of the predictable staging of the trigger.

I ordered mine right after Shot Show and was actually surprised to grt one so soon. I had told the gun store that I would accept either one of the 32 magnum models but preferred the stainless one which was delivered.

Picked mine up today and took it to the range. It’s everything they said it was, very pleased with it ! Paid $660 plus tax.

The most common wear part on the Makarovs is the slide stop/slide release. It does seem that if you wack some of them hard enough that it can release the slide. There really is no reason to hit the magazine that hard. Seems to be the thing to do but all you need is to seat the magazine.

Bottom one is a Rossi RP63, the others you can tell. All four are 357 magnums.

Three inch barrel 22LR’s.

Great answer !!

I like Uncle Mike’s boot grips, if you can find them. They are rubber but not so tacky as to cling to clothes. Ebay is your best place to find them.

Same for me, ordered but not arrived. I will not pay more than MSRP.

With some humor I never knew I had to have a reason to buy any gun. By reason I would probably have 3-5 guns total. The Makarov has an appeal due to its simplicity, reliability, and history. My truck gun is a well worn Bulgarian Makarov. Would I recommend them to everyone, no.

Two 32 magnums, the Charter Arms has a slightly modified BK adapter. The Taurus has one from Robertson Trading Post. Both sort of fit my hand like a glove !

Most of you already know about this but a friend showed me his “speed loader” for a 45acp revolver, it was an officer size 1911 magazine. Fits flat in your pocket !

Last week I was able to take my 14 year old grandson for his first trip to the range. He shot a Henry lever action 22 and a model 35-1 S&W 22 revolver with a 6” barrel. He really enjoyed it, followed all safety instructions, and was quickly hitting the target at 15 yards. Money can’t buy these...
