Oh, and its convertible too, to what they're calling a half-carbine.

Looks like the Makarov prices are going to fall when the surplus ones hit here.

Looks like the same company that makes the new pistol makes a 1911 that fires two barrels at once. Seems to me like an idea who's time need not have come. :loco:
