Is the 9x18 Mak pretty much a dead cartridge now? I bought two (yes 2 ) CZ82s when the surplus guns hit the market and foolishly did not pick up a few thousand rounds at the time. Now 9x18 ammo is twice the cost of 380 ACP.

Are the Mak chambered guns soon to be obsolete/handload only now that the Russian ammo pipeline is cut off?

I also did not grab 1 or 2 CZ 83 barrels when they were cheap(ish).

FWIW, the CZ82/83 guns are pretty well designed as far as heavy, oversized, and underpowered guns go. Great trigger, carry cocked and locked or DA, decent capacity, ambi safety and mag release.
