some for it. I have a bullet mould and dies. The local FFL has a Makarov (IJ70 with adj. sights) and a PA63 which I like both. I'm not a big fan of Russian guns but those two are sleepers. The 9X18 cartridge is way more than the .380 ACP that I have very little respect for. I feel the .380 is sort of a weak .38 S&W but with modern bullets I guess it is actually better. (And I carry a .380 a lot, beats a .25 for sure)

The Makarov is a .366" bullet and skips along at 1100 fps compared to the .355/900 fps .380. You have to re-spring the guns but after that they are great.
