Makarov – Iconic Russian Pistol
The Makarov pistol, officially known as the PM (Pistolet Makarova), is one of the most iconic sidearms in modern history. Designed in the Soviet Union in the late 1940s by Nikolay Makarov, it became the standard military and police sidearm of the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War. Compact, reliable, and easy to maintain, the Makarov earned a reputation as a dependable service pistol for soldiers, officers, and security forces worldwide.
The original Makarov design features a simple blowback-operated mechanism, chambered in 9×18mm Makarov, a cartridge developed specifically for this handgun. Known for its rugged construction and straightforward operation, the pistol remains popular among collectors, enthusiasts, and shooters who value its historical significance. Today, authentic Makarov pistols, as well as CO₂-powered replicas and airgun versions, are widely available, keeping the legacy of this legendary design alive.
