| I've had my DDR Mak for ever and been thinking of getting more mags for it and having Novak style sights installed. Am I crazy and stupid? I know DDR Maks aren't exactly easy to find but I don't ever plan on selling it anyways. |

Please don't do that to a DDR Mak. Find a beat-up Bulgy if you want a carry piece.

| I don't see why not. If you don't care for the historical piece and do not plan to sell it, then make it what you want for the job. Is it a tool or a piece of art to you? My mak is a tool so I did but my Luger is a piece of art so I wouldn't on that. |

If I do it.... do something like this.
Sure, the DDR Mak is "rare". But the quality is amazingly smooth. Mine is a commercial milsurp import that's been import stamped. |

I have a Russian Commercial Import with adjustable target sights from the factory. Its immaculate.
I would trade you or advise you to look out for one. I have all three and I hardly think a nice bulgarian is meh. The finish itself may be nicer on the DDR pistols but unless you bought a worn out bulgy I dont see any functional or smoothness differences between mine. |

You can get a Blugy smoothed up where it counts.
If it is a carry gun, all that matters is that it's shootable. |

They are kind of crap for a CCW. Too heavy, same size as a modern single-stack 9mm, and their round is mediocre. They tend to rust faster than anything modern due to the finish. I tried it and it sucked.
For the cost of converting it into a mediocre CCW gun you could buy a decent 9mm subcompact. |

Not everything I have needs a reason to have. Sometimes I carry the Mak just because I can. |

| My DDR Mak shoots like a laser beam, and I’ve been carrying it in an old Alien Gear Hybrid IWB for a few years now. I haven’t modified it at all and don’t really feel any need to. It’s a great summertime carry gun and is small and light enough for me, at least compared to my usual carry piece, a Colt Commander. |

I’ve got an E German Mak and a Bulgarian. The German Mak is a work of art, 1962 manufacture, natural point of aim pistol. The Bulgarian is not a work of art, but still is a great shooter, prints tight groups. I (and others) may or may not have carried Maks on TDY, leaving our bulky issued pistols at home. That’s how good the Makarov pistol is. |
