I’m not expert there... but I would guess no?

If it is chambered in .380 it will handle anything as far as I know.

I had one made in Russia in 9mm Mak. It was an excellent pistol. Unusually accurate.

If you mean the Soviet Makarov PM-50, not safely.

Commonly called “9x18 Makarov”, the Soviet round is actually a 9.2mm. The head is larger in diameter and the case is longer. Euro designation for 380 ACP is 9mm Kurz or 9x17mm.

Quit trying to cut corners. There is an increasing selection of 9x18 defense rounds out there. Makarov pistols can still be found at lower prices than PPKs.
