I had a .380 Bakail Makarov years ago. Awsome little pistol. Extremely accurate. I did have to smooth the trigger mechanism just enough to reduce the burrs in the action. Seemed to be a great gun for the money. Wish I had kept it.
I'm almost certain that the magazines are the same as the 9x18. Another option near that size is a Bersa. |

The mags are indeed the same for both calibers.

Thanks guys. Since I made this post I ran across the CZ-83. Any thoughts on them?

I have a Russian IJ-70 in .380, and love it. Smoothed some rough spots in the triggr and left the rest alone. It shoots great.

I've got 3 of the Russian ones in .380 and 2 of the Bulgarian ones in 9x18. I have extra barrels so that if ammo becomes a problem I can switch the Bulgarians to .380. |

How is felt recoil between the 2 calibers? Is there any difference? I have a .380 barrel and wonder if it would make my 9x18 mak less snappy (for the wife). |

Less kick with the .380. The 9x18 is a much hotter round and some of the bullet choices have alot more kick than others. This can also be tamed some with a set of Pearce grips and a heavier recoil spring.
