9MM MAKAROV BLAZER 95 GRAIN FMJ (1000 ROUNDS)

9MM MAKAROV BLAZER 95 GRAIN FMJ (1000 ROUNDS)

The 9×18mm Makarov was developed by the Soviet Union in the 1940s to satisfy their army’s demand for a powerful round with modest bolt thrust that would function safely in a direct blowback pistol. In the second half of the century, the cartridge would see use in the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc analogous to that of West’s 9x19mm.

This cartridge is perfect for training with your Russian pistols and submachine guns. It partly owes its relatively lesser cost to its non-corrosive Berdan primed aluminum casing, which is non-reloadable but more affordable to produce than brass with its costly copper. This cartridge’s 95 grain projectile has a full metal jacket to protect your firearm’s bore -- a good feature to consider when you’re about to fire 1,000 of them.

This cartridge is manufactured by Blazer at their factory by the banks of Idaho’s Snake River. They have a reputation for making affordable ammunition for training without compromising the quality of their components.
