Should I get a Mak?

If people trust .380acp, you can trust 9x18.

Mak is gud peestol, komrade.

It's a great handgun that only improved upon German engineering.

any suggestions for good defensive ammo? I hear bad shit about 9x18 JHPs not penetrating adequately, and thus some folk use FMJs as carry ammo.

Being used to carrying somewhat more powerful calibers, this seems odd to me, but is it something worth considering?

Is the macaroni drop safe?

Also, consider modern single stack polymer 9mm or .380s . Loads of barely used shields and G43s for cheap.

no just get hornady

>>34058642
Underwood, Hornady, or Barnaul should work just fine. Try to go for 1000fps or more.

The makarov or the witness (witness is made by tanfoglio, an italian company, so you're a bit ambiguous)?

The Mak is appearently drop safe empirically, albeit with a design that shouldn't be on paper.


The Witness is a modern handgun with engineered drop safeties.

>Also, consider modern single stack polymer 9mm or .380s

I have. I've been somewhat eyeballing an LC9S for pocket carry as a backup in tandem with the witness, but all dem slavshit memes have my mind keep wandering back to mak.

Look at Bersa for a single-stack .380.

But if you're going for a PP clone, it's a Bersa Thunder or the Makarov.

>>34058432
No, you should get an M&P Shield 9mm. 7 or 8 rd capacity, very compact, and can easily be found for $300 after a $75 rebate that S&W has going on right now

>>34058736
I guess one of my bigger hesitations is moreso on the cartridge and the capacity vs. what I currently carry.

Is a .380 or 9x18, especially in a single stack, actually adequate?

>>34058775
>after a $75 rebate that S&W has going on right now

this sounds like good marketing.

I've considered the shield, but I don't care for it.

.380 with those crazy Underwood XXXTREME PENETRATOR BOOLETS will stop just about any Jamal or Tyrone.
The Ruskies used the Mak as a combat pistol, so I'd say yes, it's adequate.

>just about any Jamal or Tyrone

from experience, Jamals and Tyrones tend to attack in groups of 7-15.

About how many rounds of 9x18 do you think I'd need to put in each Jamal and Tyrone to stop each individual threat?

See, therein lies my dilemma -- is a mak adequate for this sort of threat (7-15 attackers at once), or should I focus on better holsters and more magazines for my current weapon and become that crazy asshole who's carrying 64+1 rounds of 9x19 hornady critical defense in 16 round mags?

Where do you live, Detroit? I'm under the impression that plugging one Da'quan will cause the other JaMarcuses to scatter, they're not the Zerg after all.

If you're concerned about a human wave of diversity, then yes, go for more mags with your current gun.

>Where do you live, Detroit?

no, but my past experience with black criminals in general has me on edge about specific modes of attack.

Honesly, where I live now, I don't even expect that I'd even need to be armed.

>I'm under the impression that plugging one Da'quan will cause the other JaMarcuses to scatter, they're not the Zerg after all.

In suffering traumatic injury at the hands of violent criminals, perhaps I'm dead set on the idea that one must be prepared to utterly eliminate a threat physically in order to survive.

niggers (inb4 "gb2 /pol/") will scatter as soon as they see that you have backup in the area, and probably much more readily at a gun, but can one really rely on an assumption about an attacker's psychology in a life and death scenario?
