1. FN-Herstal (my Forty-Nine in .40)
2. CZ (my CZ-75B in 9mm)
3. Steyr (M or S series in 9mm-coworker owns both)
4. Mauser/SIGarms (my buddies M2 in .40)
Way down the list is my Makarov. Its fun to shoot, but not all day like the others I've listed. I do carry the Makarov from time to time and it was, for a while, my only CCW piece. It has never failed to work properly.
