The round is pretty capable - its between a .380 and a 9mm. As for carry ammo - hollow points always. Too much overpenetration with fmj.
Been wearing shorts and t shirt with print shirt unbuttoned. Carry three guns. Two 44 Specials and one 38 Special..45acp said:Now that the warm weather is here I'll probably carry my Makarov most of the time.
My questions are:
1) Is this a capable round for self defense?
2) Hollow points or FMJ?
It's very easy to conceal when wearing shorts and tee's and I realize it is not comparable to my .45 but will it suffice for carry?

Gotta ask. What are your carry methods? My guess would be a Thunderwear typr holster, one IWB and maybe a shoulder rig. Am I right?Been wearing shorts and t shirt with print shirt unbuttoned. Carry three guns. Two 44 Specials and one 38 Special.
Frankfrankmako said:the mak is one little step up over the 380 and one step under the 9mm. some will tell you they do not like the mak or the 380. but a mak and/or 380 in hand is better than two 45's back home or in the car. go with the fmj round for the mak, that way you know that you will not have any feeding problems. what type of mak?? i got a polish p64 and it is a great gun, just like the ppk. don't carry it, it is one of my range guns. but i do sometimes carry the kel-tec p3at (one step down).
