Offered here is a Bulgarian military Makarov PM chambered in 9x18mm, complete with two matching-number magazines and an extra black polymer thumb-rest grip. These Cold War-era pistols were manufactured at the Arsenal factory in Kazanlak using original Soviet tooling and strict military specifications—resulting in one of the highest-quality Makarov variants ever produced.
Imported in limited numbers, the Bulgarian Makarovs are prized for their exceptional reliability, durable all-steel construction, and historically accurate red star bakelite-style grips. The fixed-barrel, blowback design contributes to impressive mechanical accuracy, making this an ideal piece for collectors and shooters alike.
Originally adopted by the USSR in 1951 as the standard-issue sidearm, the Makarov PM served throughout the Cold War across Warsaw Pact nations. Its compact design, legendary dependability, and timeless military styling have secured its place in both Eastern Bloc history and modern surplus collections.
