    Question taming a Makrove

    I like them due to their reliability and and size. The only thing I don't like is they kick like a mule. Would different grips help out, and if so, who's would you recommend ?

    If you refer to THE Makarov, or Pistolet Makarova (PM), in 9x18 and not another small pistol that is chambered in the same cartridge and erroneously referred to as a "Makarov," and it has the issue "red star" grip that you find it uncomfortable, do a Google search or Gun Broker search on "Pearce Grip Makarov." AFAIK, Pearce no longer makes them, but they turn up in the secondary market. They are more hand-filling, and made from a cushiony rubber compound not unlike that of a Hogue rubber grip.

    Found one: http://www.jgsales.com/mobile/pearce...new.-p-23.html

    If you have a FEG PA63, SMC-918, R61, RK59, or a Polish P64 or P83, wear deerskin shooting gloves.
