Makarov vs Bersa vs PA63.

[AUTIGER04]

Which do you think is the better gun?

I like the Mak the best. While I've never fired the other two, I have held them at gunshows. The Mak feels more durable to me. Also, it is cheaper than the bersa...

Pistolet Makarova, comrade!!

The Bersa has better sights and doesn't give up much in terminal performance (IMO).

Prices are getting closer betweent the two as well... even favoring the Bersa if buying used. (I saw a LNIB duo-tone .380 for $139 just the other day.)

I would pick the Mak first and then the Bersa a close second.

I own a Mak and a PA-63. I'd chose the Mak with no hesitation.

I just got a Mak and have had a Bersa (.22cal) for a while. Both guns are good but I can shoot the Bersa much better. If I could only have one, it would be the Bersa in a heartbeat. Even though my Bersa is a .22lr and not a .380, I think the .380 is more or less the same gun and it has better sights and trigger than most Maks.

I would vote Bersa first and Makarov second. The sights and trigger are much improved, and I can personnally perform mag changes with much more effieciency due to the Walther PP style mag release. Plus I believe it is 4-5 oz lighter. The Maks are great guns, I just think the features on the Bersa move it ahead of the game.
