Daughter prefers Makarov over CW9 where did I go wrong??

[O'Dell]

I sold many Mak during the gun dealing days, never got one back, they were super guns. Every once in awhile I wouldget a Hungarian model even inthge same lot as the knock off versions. I kept one for years evenb. super little gun and the Hungarion one were just top quality in fit and finish to. What is not to really like about them.

FEG used to make a good pistol. I had a FEG copy of the Browning HP back in the early 80's at the same time I had an FN built one. The FEG was actually better finished inside and out than the real one. All the parts interchanged and when I sold the FEG, I'm sure it had some FN parts in it as I used to clean them at the same time.

9 mm trumps 380 any day to..;

Actually they're all nines - 9x17, 9x18, and 9x19. Remember a 9mm may not expand, but a 45 will never shrink.

sorry about that. have no idea what the hell I was thinking about. when they can shrink the kahr 45 in size down to my PM9, then I would consider casrrying one!!!!!!! I feel very safe in saying that to, never been a a45 fan for some reason or other.

Probably a birth defect.

I have seen stranger choices by new shooters.

Not a lot of good defensive ammo for the Mak either.

Hornady has two decent defensive loads in 9x18: the XTP and the FTX. Both are readily available. Beats .380, imho.
