No there is no 9x19 (9mm Lugar / Parabellum) conversion kits. The Makarov uses a direct blow-back action, which as I understand can not operate sufficiently with higher pressures found in rounds over 9x18 / .380acp. Inertia keeps the slide in place long enough for chamber pressure to drop enough to safety extract the cartridge. Higher pressures push the slide too fast, resulting in pressures escaping through the ejection port, which lead to bad things happening to the shooter.
Isnt the walther p1/38 blowback?
I have owned a few CZ-82s and 83s, a couple actual PMs, one Bulgarian and one Russian. I've also owned the Polish P-64 and P-83. The P-64 is the best pocket gun, very reliable and accurate as can be with those tiny sights. I would most definitely choose an actual PM of any stripe over the P-83. I wouldn't personally spend a nickel on the FEG model. For my money the best shooter in the lot is the CZ 82. It is also the biggest. Readily concealable in an IWB holster, they are excellent shooter with less snap than the Makarovs. Good luck.
Sounds like a very nice group. I really liked my p64 but ended up selling to to a woman who wanted something she could slip into a pocket. I made sure she shot it a couple of times to ensure she could handle it. They are surprisingly accurate.I'm currently waiting for my P64 CZAK to come back from Ron Mahovsky with its new hard-chrome finish. I'm going to install a set of checkered walnut grips from Marschal (the short version) and use the magazine base from which I've ground and sanded the pinky extension. Should make an outstanding pocket gun. I also sent my vz.82 to Loren Fogel for a strip and field blue and will put a set of Marschal grips on it, too. My Parkerized Bulgarian PM (also a Loren Fogel job) is my truck gun. I think I'm running a rehab center for old ComBloc pistols!
I have an East German Makarov and a CZ-82. They are both nice to shoot in my opinion. You would definately want to get the Wolf springs.
I may have to sell mine though. I am sure I will regret it if I do though, but economics may dictate what happens.
