I have a friend who collects Makarovs.
I collect Makarovs.
Make are fine pistols. Accurate, reliable and well made. The East German models bluing is excellent! Taurus firearms depends on the model and year of manufacturing. I carry a Taurus TCP .380 and its an excellent weapon. I have 2 brothers that each bought a Taurus 605 at the same time. One locked up internally after 6 rds. and went back to the factory for repairs and works fine. The other 605 has ran like a Swiss watch.
Great conceal weapon
