Well i can say that the recoil spring used to be the same as it's full bore brother and that the the slide did close on me once and trap the the web of my left hand in the ejection post. Quite an interesting experience watching a makarov dangle from your skin while your brain thinks about helping you out of your predicament (and takes it's sweet time about it too!).

My brand new one 3 days ago cost me £95 ordered by my local'ish RFD for the black standard model.
Some RFD's have the damn cheek to charge £150!! for them, and from what I can gather all the RFD's seem to order them from the same place I think the supplier is 'sportsmarketing'.
Where on earth can I get a spare mag from. Been looking for a while now and no joy.
They are like rocking horse S#@t . . . been after a backup mag for a while now - let me know if you find a source!

I like Red Dot`s thinking on this, the lead balls will tend to deform ,rather than richochet,so there`s a real safety(and accuracy) bonus here..Also I wish I`d bought a Makarov when they were easier to get.I`ve tried one and honest to God it feels so close to the real thing,after all Baikal State factory makes service pistols on the same production line as the co2 version.
Get one , no get two ;and send one to me!!

Where can you buy the 7inch drozd barrel in the UK or is it an import job?.
you cant buy it at all, it was spare when i did my 16inch barrel conversion on my drozd.
you could get an old .177 barrel and have it machined down to the same dimensions but longer, probably your only choice , or you could put an add on the mp661k forum for an old drozd barrel

Few mods to mine
Pearce aftermarket grips are much more comfortable than the standard ones.
