Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

One private indoor range I shoot at actively recommends not to use a glock
Range owner has three stories about a glock blowing up when shot. I believe him, but have yet to meet any of the glock-victims And, he does admit that one of the glock was shooting Blazer (implication being not the brass cased)

Of course, that Makarov I had was the hardest hitting gun I have ever fired!
I'm with you Kansas Mustang and CrossFire. A couple of people that I talked with about it chalked it up to the hammerless trigger pull as to what bothers me ...
Then there's that nasty rumor that they blow up on the range

As a pistol, yep. Hurt my hand for a week. I went to the range every week and shot 50 rounds through that Makarov for over 6 months and never liked that gun at all. It was accurate, had a decent weight, ammo was relatively easy to acquire, but it kicked like a bitch!
I finally sold it off and replaced it with a Bersa Thunder .380. That is a hard hitting little gun, but no where as hard as the Makarov. I have several other guns that hit fairly strongly, both revolvers and semi-autos, but none come close to the outright kick the Makarov had.
I did begin to wonder if the shape of the grip/backstrap were not right for my small hand and if that might have also contributed to the hard hit. I do know that there for a little while, I had to work through the flinch I developed. I did, but was never really happy with that gun.
