@ДмитрийГаврилов-ы3о You will miss your head. My neighbor had an old Russian Nagant revolver. He was showing off and let me dry fire. The trigger was was horrible. I needed to use two fingers for double action. Ofcourse it has a very cool feature - drum to barrel gap sealing, but it is a bitch to shoot in double action.

@ДмитрийГаврилов-ы3о Well, Bulgarian seems harder for Russians to understand than Russian to Bulgarians, so English it is. 🤷‍♂️ Berti raised an interesting point, I didn't know that the drum doesn't rotate freely. So you are saying - one needs to press the trigger slightly to unlock the drum, to make it rotate?

Makarov does fine at 50 - 100. He needs to talk to Bulgarian police.

@ThePolish2107 Well yes, it is assumed you will practice at least once a week and be used to your gun. I just don't get his hyperbole. And the 7.62 Tokarev was a more powerful cartridge than Makarov. Definitely not "for suicides only".

@PobortzaPl Unfortunately, no. It belongs to a very private collection of antiques and the guy has long since moved to the country to live in his village of birth. Maybe it wasn't cleaned properly. Who knows what the story is there.

@lup7271 Yes, it's a Hollywood myth. Hollywood has a penchant for painting all things East European - dark and gloomy. Russia gets a lot of that too.

@hailexiao2770 No, ofcourse not. Nobody shoots beyond 20-30 meters in the city. My point is the gun can be used as a combat/military pistol without a problem. There are not that many shootings in Bulgaria.

@berryreading4809 Not the East European steel core ammo. You shoot once inside room with the AK, you get 3 holes back allover the place. Pistol rounds ricochet especially on marble tiles but not as bad as a rifle cartridge.

@mindaugasstankunas4241 Well, they anointed one of the gloomiest cities in Europe - "the City of Love". There is clear bias and it has deeper and more ancient roots than Cold War propaganda. The Corporation State "Russia" had foreign shareholders since Peter "the Great", established it. I agree that they've always treated the poor Moscovites like Human Resources, but this is how they treat their West European serfs, too. Yet they have a worse attitude towards us by the fact they turned our countries into Jesuit Reductions for 50+ years. If you don't know what I am talking about, research the blueprint for Communism - the South American Jesuit Reductions, and you will get to understand how they view us.

@Kaboomf During the 90s some police had to form anti terror units, and in Bulgaria the police also has quick reaction force to respond to triggered alarm signals. Training and skills are considerably better than before including going through dungeons and stress situations.

@marwis32 50 - 100 is no problem for the Makarov for human size targets. Some people can do it.

@xSintex His general idea is that handguns are useless toys, which is not true. Maybe in the field/forest they are, in the city they are just fine. Shooting a high power rifle in the city can give you nasty ricochet if you are not careful.
