I have a Lee 365-95-1R 9mm Makarov (365 Diameter) 95 Grain mold on the way. I will be using Starline brass, Federal SPP and WW alloy. Will load 'as cast', no sizer for this diameter. I have several powders suitable for the Makarov, including, Unique, Bullseye, 700x, Titegroup, and maybe others...

Any tips on the steps or process of polishing the frame and possibly other internal parts for smoother action? Some bath other guns in vinegar, bead blast/sandpaper or just use different polishes in steps until achieving the desired finish. I'm new to polishing anything so I figured asked...

Well, when we posted our last 9x18 ammo test, you asked to see 115 gr Hard Cast, and the UNDERWOOD 95 gr JHP. I don't want to ruin the video, but will just say that the UNDERWOOD JHP is a sweet little round! Enjoy.... if you're into Maks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1izBXZejuqA .

When I posted the video comparing the 9x18 Hornady FTX against a 9-Luger JHP and a .38 Special JHP, many of you asked me to test more 9x18 rounds (as well as other .38 SPCL rounds - that test is coming). You asked, I tested - ACCURACY, PENETRATION & WOUND CAVITY. Buffalo Bore 95 gr +P JHP...

Hi all, We compared 3 common "lite" defensive rounds for winter use, by firing them into ballistics gelatin through a heavy winter coat. I thought some of you might like to see the results. Is 9x18 suitable for carry? I think most shocking was the failure of the .38 spcl Hornady...

So I've been playing with the idea of picking up a 9x18 mak pistol for a while. It's not going to be used for anything serious (ccw, hd) I just want one lol. But I still want it to be a good gun. So should I get a Polish P83 or a Makarov?? Now I know everyone's going to say get a CZ 82, and I...

I have been wanting to get a Makarov PM and CZ82 for sometime now, however having to stock 9x18 cartridges have put me off so far. I don't own many guns and the ones I do I run them whenever I have a chance. My inventory consist of several 9mm Luger and 1 .380ACP, and having to stock 9x18 is...
