Thought I would share a picture of my Bulgarian 1982. Regards DeSantis pancake holster? It looks a LOT like a 20-some year old Desantis I've had since I got mine right from the Bulgie importer back in the early '00s! |

Mmm, Makarovs. They're great in their original form, or with a little bit of personalization.
Here's my Bulgarian with a refinished commercial Russian slide with upgraded fixed sight, a retention holster, and a beaver tail grip that allows for drop-free mags:  I still have the unmolested surplus Bulgarian slide, to boot. |

My favorite Makarov when it comes to range time. Bulgarian mil pistol that was customized by Marianne Carniak of Carniak Custom in Michigan. I stumbled upon it a few years ago on GB. Some internal polishing, matte hard chrome, and Novak 3 dot sights. I ditched the red Bulgarian/Russian grips for East German black bakelite ones.
 Attached File Attached File2nd place is my East German Makarov found at a Virginia Gun Collectors Show that was also hard chromed but, with brushed flats and matte rounds. Both pistols are easy to clean but, the Novak sights are a drastic improvement on the Bulgarian pistol.  Attached File |
