Bulgarian “Circle 10” Makarov PM semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9×18mm Makarov, manufactured in 1998. Produced by Arsenal (the “Circle 10” factory) in Bulgaria, this example is in good working condition with a bright bore and is mechanically excellent, showing honest signs of use on the slide. It comes with two magazines.
The Makarov PM is the classic Soviet-pattern service pistol — a simple, rugged double-action/single-action blowback design chambered in 9×18mm Makarov. Bulgarian Makarovs bearing the encircled “10” of the Arsenal plant at Kazanlak are well regarded for their quality of manufacture and are among the more sought-after Makarov variants. This is a 1998-production example from Arsenal’s later commercial/export manufacture. With a bright bore, excellent mechanics, honest slide wear consistent with use, and a pair of magazines, this Circle 10 Makarov is a dependable and collectible pistol as well as a great shooter.
