I have been wanting to get a Makarov PM and CZ82 for sometime now, however having to stock 9x18 cartridges have put me off so far. I don't own many guns and the ones I do I run them whenever I have a chance.
My inventory consist of several 9mm Luger and 1 .380ACP, and having to stock 9x18 is going to be a pain. Also recently the supply for 9x18 seems to be more difficult and the recent trade embargoes agains Russia seems be to bad news for cheap 9x18 too.
I know both the PM and CZ82 has .380 conversion possibility, but I don't see the point in that given there will not likely be any cost savings as .380 are getting more expensive and hard to find.
From what I can understand no new firearms are made in 9x18. So is there a future in 9x18? Are CZ's and PM relegated to the C&R realm?
