I bought a couple of boxes of this ammo and I carry it in my Makarov. I only shot 3 mags. No problems. I did not notice the recoil any different from any other 9x18 ammo.

My back yard ballistic test consisted of 10 inches of wet phone books. This round went clear thru, but so did brown bear 9x18 fmj. As a comparison, .38 gold dot hp out of my snub nose penetrated about 8-9inches.

In an effort to stop this bullet I put a 1/2 wooden board in front. Both 9x18 rounds went thru all.

I carry the Buffalo Bore because I like a HCFN round, I believe the primers are superior to Brown Bear, and I trust Buffalo Bore's data. I'll spend some extra cash for good SD ammo.

I do have a heavier recoil spring in my Mak.
