Standard Makarov grips will not fit a "widebody hi-cap" Makarov. These hi-cap mags will NOT fit a standard 8 rd Makarov pistol. Note that a "high cap" version of the Makarov was made for commercial export, and it had a "wide body" grip accepting either a 10 rd or 12 rd double-stack magazine (12 rds before 1994, 10 rds after 1994). The magazines are the same, 8 rds, for 9x18 and 380, and the pistols will also accept 8 rd Makarov magazines from EG, Bulgarian, and Chinese Makarovs. IMEZ and Baikal Makarov pistols were made in 9x18 Makarov and 380 ACP.
The large-headed elevation screw on the IMEZ and Baikal-branded Makarov pistols (both made at Izhevsk) has a small diameter shank and is somewhat fragile if torque is applied to it.Īll internal parts in IMEZ and Baikal Makarov pistols are the same as those in Soviet PM Makarov-designed pistols, and also those Makarov-designed pistols made in East Germany, Bulgaria, and China (as the Type 59). The "IMEZ" Makarov pistols are identical in all respects to the Soviet military Makarov, EXCEPT for the rear sight, which is fixed on the Soviet military Makarov, and adjustable on the export-market-intended "IMEZ" pistols which were imported here mainly in the 1990s. IMEZ stands for Izhevskii Mechanicheskii Zavod, the same manufacturing concern as that above, and that which manufactured Soviet military Mararov pistols. The "Izhevsk" logo appears on the left side of the frame of Soviet military "PM" pistols. The original "PM" or Pistolet Makarova was manufactured by Izhevskii Mechanicheskii Zavod or Izhevsk Mechanical Factory located in the city of Izhevsk.
