[quote-IM_Luger]Haven't been on in almost 2 years...Looking at picking up a brand new Baikal Makarov pistol thinking of going with one in .380, but can't decide between double stack and single stack. What are your thoughts? [/quote]

If you want a Makarov, get a single stack 9x18 Makarov.

If you want a double stack, look for a CZ-82- much better implementation of the double-stack approach for the same caliber.

The double stack Makarovs are very difficult to find. I wouldn't bother.
