9mm Makarov Ammo Prices

The compact Soviet service round from 1951 built deliberately at a size the Warsaw Pact could call its own. The Makarov pistols that fired it are stout simple and weirdly beloved and the round splits the difference between .380 and 9mm Luger in its own stubborn way. Cold War surplus made it a cult favorite among people who appreciate honest tools.

Loads run 90 to 95 grain in FMJ mostly. A niche caliber now that the surplus tide receded and prices climbed. Commercial production keeps the Makarov crowd fed and case deals surface for the patient.
