![]() Another variant of this is the 10-round double-stack Makarov, which was also made by Izhmech. These are recognizable by their rear adjustable target sight, "Made in Russia" and Baikal markings. ![]() First of all there are the true surplus guns, which are recognizable by their fixed rear sight and a lack of any non-cyrillic markings including "Made in Russia."

But as a shooter, the P64 is a fun little pistol. My Calguns brethern quickly educated me when I got home and today, I own this, but that P64 I saw at the pawn shop was less than I paid for this one and it was in much better condition without all of the hideous billboards on the side. It pays to comb these boards and Gunboards to get edumacated about C&Rs so when you see something special out there for a good price, you can nab it because you know what you are buying. I missed out on a sweet M28 at a gun show because I thought it was just a run of the mill M39. I have lost out of several deals because I was ignorant and uninformed about what I was looking at.

I did the same thing a few years ago, I went to a pawn shop in Prescott and they had a P64 but it was labeled a "Polish Makarov". ![]()
