I got three Russian Makarov automatics a few years back.

They are packed in a box somewhere... not sure what type ammo they take. I wonder if I could get ammo for them?

Bought them because they seemed really cheap at 75$ each.
Had two clips that came along with each.

The Makarov takes its own cartridge, 9mm Makarov, which is ballisticly very similar to .380

9x18mm...Very nice CCW piece...I've had one for years..Love it...Strong and very accurate..Ammo use to be cheap, but now runs about 38-42 cents per round.!! Everythings gone crazy.....

Absolutely. It’s 9x18 9mm ammo, and is all over, but pricey.

I have a 9mm Makarov and ammo is routinely found at Cabellas.

Bought them because they seemed really cheap at 75$ each. Had two clips that came along with each. 9x18 Makarov cartridge. It is a little smaller case than the 9mm Parabellum/Luger and a little larger than the .380 ACP. I am currently making some 9x18 Mak cases by trimming down 9mm Para cases. I cast my own slugs with a Lee 95 gr mould. I really like my East German Makarov.

Perhaps. Most of it is out of stock.

Those are pretty nice little pistols. They are worth about $250 at this point.

They were originally in 9X18 Makarov, but many were converted to 380 ACP (9X17) for importation.
