What would be the "SKS" of handguns ?

A nice Russian Makarov, aah!
I waited too long to get one. Now the supply has been cut off, partly by our stupid C-68 prohibition on short-barreled pistols.
I still could get one from a 12(6) owner but who ever wants to part with a Makarov? they are really nice pistols and good shooters.
PP.

Alas the dealer that was selling them, Armrus, in Montreal closed shop. They were going as low as $600 brand new. I got mine before they were sold out. The problem is mags. It came with 2 and I'm searching for more. I contacted Baikal Canada to see if they were getting some and I was told yes. I'll have to recontact them. The mags are awsome. You load them like you load a rifle mag and not like a pistol, directly from the top. As far as parts? This baby seems indistructible. I dont think you'll need any ;)

Thanks for the info!
 
SKS of pistols ?
by the criteria you set out it has to be the GLOCK G17 , with the Ruger's in close second .
A Glock will eat anything .
A Glock always goes bang .
A Glock is quite acurate ( better than a SKS ) .
Any monkey can completely disassemble and reassemble a glock in seconds .
When new a Glock is fairly affordable . Cheap used ones are everywhere .
About as many assessories available for the Glock as is available for the SKS .
The Ruger only comes in second because the Glock is easier to completely disassemble .
Just my 2 cents
 
Much as I love 1911s and dislike glocks, if its all about always working then Glock is probably the better choice $$$ wise.

The Viking looks interesting, but no failures in 1000 rounds is like saying that your car worked fine for the first 5,000 kms. It means next to nothing about reliability or life.

Now if you come on here and say that after carefully documented shooting of 30,000 rounds you only had 1 or 2 failures both directly attributable to poor ammo (not resized properly or something) then it'll be a good reliable pistol.
 
I should have put blind monkey , sorry NAA .
Those were meant to be his words , not mine .
I have a Glock and love it , wasn't knocking the gun or owners .
 
TB25 you're welcome

I'll work on it ;)
 
Makarov.... period.

My Chinese Tokarev was a piece of crap. Maybe I got the only lemon.. But I did get a lemon.

JMOFO :D

PS: Picture has no relation to conversation in thread.. I just like it and thought some J-frame folks (if there are any) in Canada might enjoy seeing a 1955 Centennial.
 
Buy a Serbian or Chinese Tokarev off Marstar.
Cheap as hell.
Ammo cheap.
Ammo hits damn hard.
Accurate enough.

Throw it at a brick wall 10 times and will still shoot.

That is the SKS of handguns. Hands down.

A 1911, Sig, Glock, Ruger, do not even classify. They cost too much!
 
Type-54-800px.jpg






The TT-33 (Tula arsenal Tokarev model of 1933) was the Soviet military's service pistol during the second world war. It is essentially a slightly redesigned, less polished and somewhat simplified incarnation of John Browning's legendary 1911, chambered for the Soviet designed version of the compact, powerful 7.63 Mauser round (please note 7.63 Mauser and 7.62TT are not interchangeable). The resulting pistol combined the unmatched reliability of the Browning short recoil design with the hard-hitting 7.62x25mm cartridge in a handgun which was simple, robust, easy to maintain, and comparatively inexpensive to produce - features which are highly desireable for a combat handgun which must be mass-produced in the midst of a war.

The Norinco Type 54 is identical to the military issue handgun produced for and used by the Peoples' Liberation Army for several decades and is typical of the T-33 pistols made in Eastern bloc and other communist countries. It features a forged steel frame and slide, chrome-lined MILSPEC barrel, post-war type slide serrations for improved grip, and distinctive 'star' marked grip panels.

We offer not only the best price on every Type 54 sold but also go the extra mile by backing each one with our Ironclad Guarantee and our exclusive one year 'in Canada' parts/labour Norinco warranty - something our competition doesn't do. We service what we sell!*

Note: 'stock' (availability) refers to whether or not the firearm is currently in stock. We receive shipments on a regular basis and update these pages as items are restocked. Please contact us if you want a model not shown here.


*Note: our competition (not Marstar) states "new firearms are not warranted by us but either factory direct or through local warranty agents." There is no 'local warranty agent' for Norinco firearms in Canada. Compare their (lack of) guarantee with Marstar's exclusive one year 'in Canada' parts/labour warranty on all Norinco firearms purchased from us. We service what we sell!
 
Try a Norinco if u want cheap. But if you order from MARSTAR be careful. I bought a Nork 40 with 2 extra mags. They sent me the pistol & 3 9mm mags.
Sent them back (Nov 05) and am still waiting for .40 mags.

Very unprofessional of them.

NP-40-450px.jpg

The Norinco NP-40 is identical to the NZ-85B only it is chambered for the increasingly popular .40 Smith & Wesson cartridge that is dominating the law enforcement sidearm market in North America and abroad. The NP-40 features the same single and double action operation, double column magazine, internal firing pin block, and ambidextrous safety as the NZ-85B.

Norinco's NP-40 is an excellent choice for novice and expert alike. It features forged (not cast) steel construction, chrome-lined barrel, and ambidextrous safety. Like its Czechoslovakian counterpart, the NP-40's slide rails are on the inside rather than the outside of the frame, a system said to increase accuracy and smooth operation.
