Commercial Russian IJ70-18A Semi-Auto Makarov 9x18mm (L2025-10043)

Serial No. ACP 1180, manufactured circa 1990s, chambered in 9x18mm Makarov, featuring a 3.5” round barrel. This IJ70-18A is a commercial export variant of the classic Soviet Makarov, manufactured at the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant and chambered in the original 9x18mm. These post-Cold War production models were imported into the U.S. market during the 1990s. This example is in very good overall condition, retaining minimal handling wear along the flats and muzzle edges. The black synthetic grips remain crisp with sharp checkering, showing little sign of use. The action is smooth and functions correctly, making it an ideal addition for collectors of Cold War-era sidearms or reliable military-inspired pistols.
