I get asked a lot what my EDC is, and usually people are surprised by the answer. Is it a good choice? Maybe not. But it’s mine!

About Me
My name is Brandon Herrera. I'm the owner and operator of The AK Guy Inc, a 07 Firearm Manufacturer based out of Fayetteville, NC. I also co-own Stark Media Group, and designed the rifle known as the AK-50.
I've started to dedicate this RU-vid channel above all to have fun, but also as a way to document my entrepreneurial journey for the next few years as I try to grow my companies. Hopefully, people can learn from my example, successes, and failures.
Either way, I'm having a lot of fun with it so far, and I hope it's just as fun to follow along!

@OldStreetDoc 3 года назад

First thing I thought of, and it’s a MAJOR plus for the Makarov... if you have to use the weapon in a self defense scenario, it’s going to likely be seized and held by law enforcement while the case is investigated. A $200 pistol isn’t a huge loss for a time. A $1000 seized handgun would sort of heart the old heart. So it’s a fine choice, Brandon. 👍🏼

When i took my cc class the instructor spent about 30 minutes going over how important it was to carry the gun that you like the most. the one that was special to you. weight, printing, etc was all worth considering, but in the end of the day, what was most important, was to carry the gun that you shoot, and enjoy shooting the most. And therefore end up training the most. That extra 100 rounds becouse that gun just tickles you. yes a S&W 500 will stop any intruder and the one behind him, but its that extra 100 rounds every range day for the last ten years that lets you neutralize a target when it matters

@KBBF3 4 года назад

I've been using my makarov as my edc since I got it 17 years ago. Fun side note. All guns have a "de" cocker mechanism. I just read a news story about a guy the other day that decided to use his waistband as a holster and got "de" cocked. Lol

@davidmilisock5200 4 года назад

I've been carrying a Bulgarian Makarov so long I can't remember when I didn't have it, I believe as soon as they were imported, I paid $85 new in cosmoline. My son liked mine so much he got one. It's smaller then my Glock 19, durable, reliable. I have a paddle holster with 2 extra mags in pouches. Summer it and the mags easily fit into the pockets of cargo shorts. Is it the greatest? No but a hammer in the hands of one man beats the crap out of things, in the hands of the right man it's a tool.

@johnmcclain3887 2 года назад

I've had a Russian Makarov, and a tula Tokarov, but it was when I ran across a Romanian version, double stack, I really got happy. Double stack double action first round, and dead accurate, what more could one want? Semper Fi! I always pick up the ammo and weapons of my enemy.

Like you, ive been interested and drawn to this piece since boyhood. In the 007 Goldeneye film, the villan general used one. I used to carry my G26 or G43X religiously... But ever since I got the Makarov (Circle 10 year 1978), I've fallen in love with this pistol. It is admirably and perfectly simple. Now they go for 500, when it used to cost half of that a decade ago.. but it didn't stop me from getting one.

i remember back in the day, when ''deadliest warriors'' was a thing, my favorite episode was the Spetznaz episode, and MOSTLY the amazing holster for the makarov that also let you have the gun without a round in the chamber BUT when you pushed down the holster it pulled the slide back and loaded a round in the chamber as you got the gun out of the holster safest way to carry a pistol in my mind, still carry a empty chamber , but still getting a loaded pistol as you got it out of the holster
