Ok, I have had my eyes on this makarov at the local shop, and today I visited a new shop, and this guy has a different variant.
Now I am presented with two choices, and one of them is a $30 difference.
I am new to the forum and new to fire arms, and this is my first pistol purchase.
1. Makarov -East Germany $279.tax -What I originally had my sights on.
2. Russian Makarov. -$250.tax -New gun I discovered today.
I am displaying two exact pictures of the options..
-1st makarov, the East Germany make.
comes with two mags, and had a rubber grip attached to the original handle -wear and tear.
-The 2nd Makarov, just says strait up: Russian Makarov, but it has adjustable sights.
comes with 2 mags, the original Leather pouch-very clean, almost no wear and tear marks.
I do not like the idea of the adjustable sights because it may snag on something if concealed,
and I would hate to constantly adjust the sights if I bump it too often.
Are adjustable sights a problem?
However, due to the condition of the "Russian" makarov, I feel that I would be passing up a HUGE deal+collectors Item, since the Russain Makarov is being sold with its original holster at a cheaper price.
Let me know what you think.
Ill be purchasing soon, if I wait too long, I may just be forced to choose if someone buys one of them.
