The 9mm Mak ammo available over the net and fairly reasonable. I think about $11.80 delivered in "bulk".
Like any military gun it positively extracts and ejects rounds into the next zip code
Russki HP performs just like solid in water expansion tests. With rounds of this power, I think penetration of accurately delivered multiple rounds is more important than expansion for social interactions.
NOT as small and light as some of the 380s out there, but then it is 13 rounds and all steel.
Recoil spring adjustments may be warranted if you shoot reloadable ammo in the gun.
I'm with you. I actually prefer FMJs even in rounds/guns that let JHPs expand, because they feed more reliably. Personally, I train to shoot until the BG is down, anyway.
Won't be shooting/reloading in the near future. I want to, but funds are gonna be tight for quite a while in all likelihood.
Good stuff.
