I’ve heard nothing but good things about them. Thought about getting one, but I ended up getting a Zastava M88 instead, because 9mm is cheap and easy to find here.
Very accurate and nice to shoot, even with a heavy trigger; compact and flat, with Tokarev internals.
It seems like a nice gun, but it has a nasty case of “hammer follow” that I just can’t seem to iron out. I thought replacing the disconnector and honing the sear would do it, but no dice. As of right now, though, it’s like a single action revolver. You have to pull the hammer back with every shot.
If I can’t get it to work, maybe I’ll trade it for one of those CZ’s instead. I came really close to getting one a few years back and have regretted not buying it ever since.
I highly recommend you pick one up while they’re still available. I’ve put hundrerds of rounds of that Silver Bear JHP ammo through ours without a hiccup.
Ballistically that 9mm Mak round is roughly equivalent to a .38 spl. And with a magazine capacity of 12 rounds that’s a good amount of firepower in a nice compact package. And for $200.....well.
