I think I've been bitten by the 9x18 bug. My FFL knew I bought a Makarov last fall so he sent me a message when he got this in. It only has one magazine but is in great shape. There is some holster wear but it doesn't look like it was fired a lot.
Looking on Hungarie.com it is what they call the third variant, it has a six digit serial preceded by a single letter. I've been trying to find out when it was made but there isn't much info out there on these. I read where some people think the two numbers by the inspection proofs are the acceptance date but since mine looks like 59 that doesn't make much sense.
I'll probably get some Wolff springs to tame the recoil and improve the DA trigger. It's not as bad as my P64 but it's close.
I guess I'll have to add a P83 now. :)

Yup.... I think P32 needs a P83 ;), it only adds what, 51.. oh wait, get a P51 too, not the Mustang :P I imagine the can opener would draw alot less attention from "she who is in charge" thumb1

Hmm, a P83 would go well with my P64...Wanad drool2
Wait, no, curse you Enabler bat1 chuckles1

I agree I do need a Vz 61. I just wish Mama Bear would agree. :)
