    Latest Baikal Makarovs?

    Am I right in thinking that the latest models with the red grips and slimmer magazine are better built than the previous series?

    Do they have milled slides, longer, stronger recoil spring, etc?

    Would appreciate your expertise.

    The latest models ( GEN eration 5) , return to milled slides, instead of cast, and have excellent finish. They are derived from the mp model so have single stack magazines, hence slimmer grip frame. For the definitive description why not join the Makarov Pistol Association and enjoy another forum with specific interests.
