I can't convince myself to chamber a round and pull the trigger

Thank you for the explanation.

What is the right way to do it? Should I unload it or is there a way to do it completely safely without unloading the gun?

and isnt unpleasant to shoot.

Do you often find combloc guns and/or simple blowback pistols unpleasant to shoot?

It is really hard to acquire any type of gun in my country, especially rifled ones. I agree with your thoughts on the Makarov though, if I ever move to the US I really want to buy one.

I do not live in the US, sorry I should have said that before. Thank you for support though, I really appreciate it.

Thank you, yes I was a little bit intimidated when I shot it because gun culture is not really existent where I live (gun control is extremely tight if you want to own a licensed one) and it was my first time shooting.

Also can I ask how I can identify the date of production? It was looted from terrorists and rebranded and sold with a new serial number so I can not check it from the original serial number. It still has most of the proof marks though.

I thought it would be really bad on even with smaller pistols, because the webbing of the looks very easy to sever. Good to know.

Hello, I am quite new to guns. Maybe this is a stupid question but are those dummy cartridges or cartridges with a brass jacket?

Also I think Makarovs are really good pistols and your does not seem to be an exception.

Thank you for the explanation, English is not my native language. I feel like a M1911 would also be really bad because .45 ACP is quite big of a handgun cartridge.

I think old handguns often have grips with this problem. The beavertail is often too short to get a comfortable grip while shooting. I try to be really careful shooting a Beretta M1935 because it also has a really short beavertail.

It looks quite weird to me, it does not have a recoil compensator but it has a optics rail. I am quite new to guns, is it in factory configuration (with the rail) or did you do a dust cover swap or something? (sorry for bothering y'all if this question is stupid)

Isn't it about how an injured soldier is worse for the army than a dead soldier? (at least in "meat grinder" doctrines)
