It shoots 9x18 Makarov ammo, and is an extremely well built gun. The Smith Shield guns are great, but I will never have another one of those with the thumb safety. In a critical moment, it could be your undoing. I know that I'm probably not even close to being the firearms experts some of you are, but I do shoot a lot, and am speaking from personal experience. I do stand by my recommendation of the Springfield XDM 9mm, It has 13 round capacity mag, and with the extended mag, which makes it feel like a full size pistol, up to 19 rounds in the mag. Plus, the grip safety is much better than a thumb safety in my opinion. Interested to see what you guys think about my .02.
Nothing wrong with that Eastern Bloc stuff. Commies did build some good stuff. They might be crude, but they are RELIABLE.
