Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Makarov converted to 9mm Luger/Parrabellum /9x19 ???? (I just snagged one)

To me, handloading kinda defeats the purpose. The whole attraction is the price of 7.62 Tok ammo. True, the round is rather interesting from a ballistic standpoint, but if you�re going to make it a handloading affair, I�d rather play with a .38 Super, or even more interesting; the 9x23 Winchester.

I missed that, disregard my other comments as I was thinking 9mm in a Makarov.

Back around 1996 at Quantico, one of my Marine buddies brought in a CZ52 and some 7.62x25 ammo he picked up at a gun show. We shot some of it at a piece of Class IIIA ballistic glass. It went right through. Neat little round.

9mm would be probably be plenty safe in the CZ52, if it functions smoothly.

Can't trust the decocker either. The original chambering has lots of power.

Get you one of these:

Or sell it to me cheap!!

WOW! Thank you for those links! I think that I WILL get one or more of those barrels.

PM me whith what you would pay for the CZ. I just today dropped it off at my gunsmiths shop to have him make the mods for feeding that were relayed to me here. Make sure you specify whether your offer is pre or post getting it to feed 9mm Luger ammo reliably.

If I keep this, not a bad idea to have a rugged extra pistol laying around that can fire the plentiful 9mm round or the plentiful and also useful 7.62x25 cartridges!
