Official 9Mm Makarov Pistol Manual

Always wanted a physical copy of this. It is a useful book.

The 9mm Makarov (may KAR' off) pistol is a piece of history, we bought one for target shooting and for the historic value. We got the disassembly manual and also this one, which has lots of great info not only on disassembly and reassembly but also on the parts, the performance and specs, how to use, how to maintain, etc. I believe it's an English translation of the original manual and it is excellent, well done, very useful, and very interesting.

It met my expectations for a useful tool to explain the history and hoe the gun performs as well as maintaining it in good operational condition.

Very well translated by a US veteran with plenty of Russian language and cultural experience. Includes basic overviews of the weapons as well as even depictions of old shooting techniques; very interesting from a historical perspective. Would definitely recommend for any Makarov owners.

This short field manual looks like it was copied verbatim from the Soviet one. And, although it's basic and not too detailed, it has everything you really need to know to operate and strip the Mak, how to thoroughly clean it and even some basic ballistics. I love at the end of it , the manual shows some firing positions, as if this gun were meant for anything but close range defensive use! I really like this book, even if I did not have a Mak, just for it's authentic Soviet feel, and the typical Armed Forces style. It's the same all over! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did, Bob M

Amazing! More information that you could ever want on this pistol. I've learned so much about this weapon after reading this book. I've completely detail stripped, cleaned re assembled and function tested just from the material within. Thanks, for the effort translating it. Great material.

This is second book I have picked up that is a translation of the Russian manuals by James Gebhardt. These are fun to read but also are a ton of information. Yes you can watch videos or see some of this stuff online for free, but I like to have a book with my handguns and this one is pretty neat. For a cool book to go along with you Makarov this it, for the price you can't go wrong.

Working my way through this book, and so far it has given me a lot of very good information on my Russian made Makarov 9x18. If you're new to the Makarov pistol this book will be of good usefulness.
