I get asked a lot what my EDC is, and usually people are surprised by the answer. Is it a good choice? Maybe not. But it’s mine!

About Me
My name is Brandon Herrera. I'm the owner and operator of The AK Guy Inc, a 07 Firearm Manufacturer based out of Fayetteville, NC. I also co-own Stark Media Group, and designed the rifle known as the AK-50.
I've started to dedicate this KZfaq channel above all to have fun, but also as a way to document my entrepreneurial journey for the next few years as I try to grow my companies. Hopefully, people can learn from my example, successes, and failures.
Either way, I'm having a lot of fun with it so far, and I hope it's just as fun to follow along!

Nope there have been at least 3 shootings with this gun that I can remember inside of the last 40 years. One by a criminal and 2 by low income folks defending themselves bin their own homes. I think it may have also been used as a last ditch gun by one of the many mass shooters back in the 80's or 90's but I could be wrong on that one.

Currently the most fashionable way to execute political opponents is to use battle poisons. Zarin, Zoman, Novichok - numbers of them. No matter of hundreds of collateral victims of course.

My favorite bullshit moment from Deadliest Warrior was when they took a big ass club, and mounted a Viking shield to a solid stand. They smashed the shield, decided "yeah that would break your arm, Club wins." Problem is that Viking Shields aren't meant to be held like that with no give. They tilt with the blow to avoid that exact scenario.

So why exactly do you carry a Makarov? Inside Sir Brandon’s head: “Bulgarian Metal protect the Herrera Bloodline!” I’ve been a fan of The Dirty Mak since I saw Ocelot carry and use one in Metal Gear Solid 3. I’ve always had a soft spot for the lil Mak. Yeah it’s a .380 that’s been partying out in the desert for two weeks straight with no sleep whatsoever. That’s why I love it. Barely adequate becomes usefully rad. Have a nice day y’all. Be safe and help each other if you can.

First thing I thought of, and it’s a MAJOR plus for the Makarov... if you have to use the weapon in a self defense scenario, it’s going to likely be seized and held by law enforcement while the case is investigated. A $200 pistol isn’t a huge loss for a time. A $1000 seized handgun would sort of heart the old heart. So it’s a fine choice, Brandon. 👍🏼

I know a dude who has one that he EDC's, and has since 1997. you say you love yours, well dude has had his NP3 coated, tritium sights, had a trigger job done to it. not even going to lie, he has spent more in shipping from having to send it off, than it cost him to buy the damn thing in 1997. he also bought it from the fayetteville gunshow, when it was still worth going to for buying guns, and not just catching a cold from attending. I miss Burn Notice. such a comfy show.

When i took my cc class the instructor spent about 30 minutes going over how important it was to carry the gun that you like the most. the one that was special to you. weight, printing, etc was all worth considering, but in the end of the day, what was most important, was to carry the gun that you shoot, and enjoy shooting the most. And therefore end up training the most. That extra 100 rounds becouse that gun just tickles you. yes a S&W 500 will stop any intruder and the one behind him, but its that extra 100 rounds every range day for the last ten years that lets you neutralize a target when it matters

I've been carrying a Bulgarian Makarov so long I can't remember when I didn't have it, I believe as soon as they were imported, I paid $85 new in cosmoline. My son liked mine so much he got one. It's smaller then my Glock 19, durable, reliable. I have a paddle holster with 2 extra mags in pouches. Summer it and the mags easily fit into the pockets of cargo shorts. Is it the greatest? No but a hammer in the hands of one man beats the crap out of things, in the hands of the right man it's a tool.

Like you, ive been interested and drawn to this piece since boyhood. In the 007 Goldeneye film, the villan general used one. I used to carry my G26 or G43X religiously... But ever since I got the Makarov (Circle 10 year 1978), I've fallen in love with this pistol. It is admirably and perfectly simple. Now they go for 500, when it used to cost half of that a decade ago.. but it didn't stop me from getting one.

i remember back in the day, when ''deadliest warriors'' was a thing, my favorite episode was the Spetznaz episode, and MOSTLY the amazing holster for the makarov that also let you have the gun without a round in the chamber BUT when you pushed down the holster it pulled the slide back and loaded a round in the chamber as you got the gun out of the holster safest way to carry a pistol in my mind, still carry a empty chamber , but still getting a loaded pistol as you got it out of the holster
