What's the most annoying thing about carrying a Makarov? For me it boiled down to the typical European heel-mounted magazine release which had two problems: 1) it was a ***** to change magazines because a) heel-mounted, b) heavy spring, and c) sum***** was sharp! And 2) being sharp, it would wear out cover garments from the inside and mark up furniture. The solution I found was the FAB Defense PM-G Makarov PM/PPM Magazine Release Grip. It converts the magazine release to a sliding button AR the top of the grip (available in left or right), flush more ergonomic, and has an extended beavertail to prevent "slide bite." The grip is also available in black, olive drab green, and flat dark earth. Mine is the FDE and it rides very comfortably in a Versacarry Commander OWB holster.
A distraction was the unavailability of good defensive ammo. All I could find during the year long "15 days to flatten the curve" was steel-cased ball. That has now resolved itself with PPU brass-cased ball and Hornady Critical Defense nickelplated-cased FTX ammo showing up at the LGS, in this case Sooner Guns.
I have no financial interest in any of the products or businesses I have referenced.
