RUSSIAN MAKAROV STAR WOOD GRIPS 9MM REPLICA PISTOL Review
The origianl Makarov pistol resulted from a design competition for replacing the Tokarev TT-33 Pistol. Rather than building a pistol to an existing cartridge in the Soviet inventory, Nikolai Makarov utilized essentially the "9mm Ultra" cartridge which had been designed by Carl Walther for the German Luftwaffe during WW2. Walther's cartridge became the 9x18mm Makarov. For simplicity and economy, the Makarov pistol which was principally a scaled-up Walther PP was of straight blowback operation, with the 9x18mm cartridge being the most powerful cartridge it could safely fire. Although the nominal calibre was 9.0mm, the actual bullet was 9.3mm in diameter, being shorter and wider and thus incompatible with pistols chambered for 9x19mm Parabellum cartridges.
