Are we talking the skinny early Elvis, or the fat, bloated elder Elvis?

At one point, I had a Czech clone of the Mak. It had an unbelievably stiff trigger pull in double action - but shot just fine when you cocked the hammer manually. I considered it unsuitable for a CC backup due to the double action stiffness, so sold it back to the guy I bought it from.

How so? Ubiquity?

Other than that I don't get it.

Either we're going to get some lyrics from "Elvis is everywhere" by Mojo Nixon and the toad lickers or this article ain't gonna make no sense a'tall. I suppose I'll have to go look at it.

Mine looks like it is brand new.

But Elvis didn’t have a de-cocker. My .380 Mak is a great little shooter. Kind of a light round for self defense, but the gun has some weight and keeps the recoil manageable, can get off multiple rounds on target, pretty quick.

Easy take down/assembly. Reliable. Some would say a bit underpowered. I use CORBON in mine. Accurate to a point.

Problem with the Mak is you need to remember the safety has to be UP FOR IT TO FIRE.
Mine was so cheap if some overbearing cop takes it away from you, you are not out much.

The author called it a “small automatic pistol”.
It is a semi-automatic pistol. (at least the one I own).

I’ve got a brace of C82s that I love. Best $200 pistol ever.

are these drop safe?

My CZ52 had the hammer down and went bang when it fell on the ground.

Never got to know where the bullet went.
