The Makarov Pistol: China, Bulgaria & Khyber Pass Copies

Not for your average firearm collector as this is very focused. The information is presented very well and in an organized fashion. Great pictures as well as informative on a small niche of the Makarov pistol collector. This book is like it was printed on a high quality laser printer and then bound together. Modern day publishing I guess. I enjoyed the history and got a bit nostalgic looking at the Norinco material. Not everybody will want one but if you like Makarov pistols then you will enjoy it

"The Makarov Pistol: China, Bulgaria, & Khyber Pass Copies" is a great addition to any firearm book collection and good read for anyone interested in Makarov pistols. Dr. Cameron White & Henry Brown do an excellent job in both books of giving the reader the ultimate Makarov experience and showing these legendary pistols in their full glory. If you enjoy this book, I also recommend checking out volume 1 of this two book series: "The Makarov Pistol: Soviet Union & East Germany". Cheers! -Mike V

Great book on the Makarov. Recommend.

Excellent discussion on the pistols, a must for anyone interested in Makarovs. Together with Volume One it is the definitive work on this pistol.

Extremely well researched and written in an easy-to-read conversational manner. A real treasure!

could have used the day before, my bad

Great Reference

Given as gift. Well received

The Volume 2 is much better than volume 1 with the weak russian chapter. The author on bulgarian maks even adds here much infos on russian Maks that were missing in Volume 1. For a second edition I would wish they would investigating more on chinese maks available in Europe. Actual commercial imports are not covered, because importation in the US stopped. It just shows observations on the US market and the strong focus on US importers is not so much relevant for collectors in other countries.
