Here's one that I bet very few of you, if any, have ever seen. I've collected Makarovs and other pistols chambered in 9x18Mak since the '90's. I had every 9x18Mak chambered pistol until I found out about the Grand Power LP9M. Unlike other pistols chambered in 9x18Mak, this one has a polymer frame and a long slide. It begs the question, why would Grand Power make such a pistol? The only thing that I can figure is that it was made to be marketed in the countries of the former eastern block. Since Grand Power sells in the US and they were already making them, they decided to sell a few here. This is just my theory, but I had to get one to recomplete my collection regardless. As you can see, it's a pretty modern looking pistol compared to what you'd expect of a pistol chambered in 9x18Mak. The machining is top tier and the finish is great. The trigger feels great too, though I have not had a chance to shoot it yet.
