Seen a couple of these about both on the sales thread in here and on Gunstar .

I always liked the Baikal Makarov and owned several over the years including a couple of suppressed ones ( anyone got suppressed one for sale they would be prepared to let go lol ? )

I never expected to see a blowback version , largely due to the weight of the steel slide etc but I am pleased to see there is one now .

On a personal note I was disappointed they could not have retained the original magazine ?

One of the qualities of original Mak is the lovely mag with bbs/ CO2 all together . This new one has a nasty ( ppk like ) stick magazine separate from the gas which requires removal of grips for each fill ( what a pain ! )

I wonder if this new model will be imported into the UK ? I seem to remember York Guns brought them in at one time back in the day along with that interesting RPSH revolver : Weight was 1.25 LBS & priced at £59-99 when the Mak' was priced at £109.

I would probably buy one despite the disappointing mag design
