I just got my first one today. It was in new condition, age unknown at present. I took it home and cleaned it. Not too dirty. Oiled it up and put it together. I had purchased about a ton of ammo, mostly hollow point Silver Bear, and I took it to the range.
The only gripe is that the magazine release is on the bottom of the grip. I've learned to manipulate it so it's not a deal now, but at first it was kind of time consumming as it was so tight.
I put 200 rounds of hollow point through this wonderful pistol with out the first blip. It's accurate up close, and not surprisingly - super accurate at 50 yards.
I'm going to turn this thing into one of my carry guns. It has a real safety, so it's safe to carry chambered and cocked. (ok - safer).
I find the power of the 9mm makarov appears to be more near the power of the 9x19 cartridge than it is the 380.
I can't tell you what a great gun this is, and I highly recommend anyone who doesn't own a good makarov RUN to the internet or the local gun shop and pick one up. I could not be more impressed.
The trigger pull is nice too. It's utilitarian, but not grindy nor sticky and it's consistent. Will fire as fast as you can pull the trigger.
The person who sold it to me underdescribed it. So he gets nice feedback. Sorry about all the oil and grease on the gun - i just got it back from the range and didn't wipe it down prior to taking the photograph.
