World's First Polymer Pistol was a Makarov!?
In this age of polymer-framed pistols, it is interesting to take a look at the history and find out where it all started. If you have served in the military or if you are a hunter, hiker, outdoorsman or just carry a gun on an everyday basis, you’ll agree that weight matters. When carrying a firearm for a long period of time you really understand how true is the saying of “ounces make pounds, pounds make pain”. From this perspective making firearms lighter without sacrificing their characteristics has always been a tough task for the designers.
