1. The 9mm Makarov is not compatible with 9mm Luger firearms. Glock doesn’t make a handgun that can fire it.
2. This ammunition attracts a magnet.
3. This ammunition is noncorrosive.
The year was 2012. MFS Defense Zrt. of Hungary was contracted to produce 9x18mm Makarov training ammunition for Slovakian law enforcement agencies’ CZ vz. 82 sidearms – which they did, beautifully.
The year was 2015. Slovakian police adopted the CZ vz. 75 as its new official sidearm, which quite naturally mean they had little more use for 9mm Makarov ammo.
The year was 2025. Lucky Gunner bought up a whole bunch of that very same Slovakian police surplus 9mm Mak ammunition, which means you can now have it!
This new brass-cased cartridge is loaded a 71 grain sintered iron projectile. Iron attracts a magnet (we can’t emphasize that point enough). Iron is also not lead, which means the frangible bullet won’t scatter around toxic dust should it smash itself to bits upon collision with a hard surface. Frangible bullets are especially helpful if you’re shooting steel targets up close!
