AFAIK all single-stack 8rd Makarov grips are totally interchangeable between the military pistols and the commercial Baikal or Imez IJ/IJH-70 models without the "H" suffix. This includes the commercial 380 ACP models, as they were basically identical to the 9x18 Mak versions, right down to the magazines!

There was also a double-stack 12rd or 10rd commercial version designated as the IJ-70-18AH or IJ-70-17AH. I do NOT know if the single-stack grips will fit these double-stack pistols. Perhaps someone with more Mak knowledge will chime in!
