Makarov Sear

Bulgarian Makarov Sear

This is a Bulgarian Army issue sear for the Makarov PM, the compact 9x18mm service pistol carried by Eastern Bloc militaries and police for decades. The sear is the small catch inside the frame that holds the hammer back at full cock until the trigger releases it. When a pistol won't hold the hammer or the trigger feel has gone wrong, a worn or missing sear is a common cause, and a government-issue part keeps the repair true to the original specification.

Features

• Makarov PM Fit — Made for the Makarov PM pistol chambered in 9x18mm Makarov, a different and wider cartridge than the common 9x19mm.
• Bulgarian Army Issue — Supplied from Bulgarian military parts stock, so it is an original government component, not an aftermarket substitute.
• Hammer Engagement Surface — The squared lower block is the part that catches the hammer and holds it at full cock until the trigger moves it out of the way.
• Integral Pivot Pins — Short pins on both ends of the top bar form the axis the sear rotates on inside the frame.
• Dark Metal Finish — The part carries a dark finish matching the internal components of the pistol it fits.
• Compact Single Part — The sear comes as one piece, ready to fit in place of a worn, damaged or missing component.
• Spares And Rebuilds — Worth keeping on hand for anyone who shoots a Makarov regularly or restores surplus pistols.

Fitting And Provenance

The sear controls when the hammer falls, so it has a direct effect on how safely the pistol works. Have it installed by a qualified gunsmith and check the hammer, safety and trigger function before the pistol goes back into service. Collectors restoring a Bulgarian Makarov to issue configuration will want a Bulgarian Army part like this one rather than a generic replacement.
