i have a Russian Makarov 9x18. Was cheap, very reliable, makes a great conceal carry weapon. ammo is also pretty cheap, but you've usually gotta order it. $105 for a case of 1000 rounds. $110 if i want 1000 rounds of hollow point ammo.

Paid $175 for it once i left the gun shop, the made me buy a $12 trigger lock that was $5 at walmart, but PA law stated i couldn't leave the shop w/out one. And, uh, if you're in PA and you have a clean record.....i was in and out of the gun shop in 40 minutes on a friday night.

Took the best firearms training course availible.....4 years as a US Marine.
