Men have a genetic predisposition to turn money into smoke and noise. I am no exception, and neither are my friends, so to that end, 4 of us bought some Check police/army surplus CZ vz82 pistols. These things are in current production, and are available OTC brand new as the CZ-83. Ours are chambered in 9mm Makarov (9x18) which is halfway between 9x17 (.380 auto) and 9x19 (typical 9mm).
In a completely unsurprising example of Russkie thinking, the 9x18 round is also just a smidgen larger in diameter, both the case and the bullet itself, allowing west bloc ammo to go through the gun in a pinch, but preventing the Russian stuff from being used in west-bloc pistols.
I'll have a range report as soon as my supply of ammo arrives.
