I wonder of the reliability? Pistolet Makarov is extreme in this regard.
What I handled was a civilian defensive pistol designed for every day carry. Unlike wallet, car keys, cell phone it's an item you will probably never need to use, therefore, it should be small and light. What I'm saying is all this thing has to do is to function 100% through couple of magazines worth. If you want something very durable, reliable and superior to PM in every way there is always option of getting Glock 26.
