I have the same model Makrov, also imported by B-West of Tuc AZ. My pistol is stainless steel. In .380 cal. It has the exact same grips as yours. Never changed them out, as they fit my hand nicely. Most of the markings on the left side of your pistol are masked by the holster, but what is visible they are the same as mine.

Kept this pistol on our cabin cruiser during season. These pistols, while heavy to "carry" are virtually indestructible and highly reliable, with the exception of the weak mag springs. If kept fully loaded for a year +/-, they lose their elasticity to properly feed the weapon, thus causing jams, until replaced.

Purchased my Makrov new in 1994 and still looks NIB. Good luck with your pistol.

 

Thanks for the info.

Here’s the new grip installed. I’ve also added the fixed rear sight (not shown), but haven’t shot it yet. I’m afraid it might shoot low and will have to figure out a solution.

I also found another one of these early 90’s Russian imports at another shop for $299. But it’s in 9x18. It’s has the black plastic grips.

 

The wood grips, esp[ecially with the star look nice. Adds some color to the weapon. I think that the the Packmyer type grips feel much better in the hand.

 

As much as I like the grips, I've requested a refund from Amazon (KSD out of Turkyie). The top of the wood on both sides of the inside broke off during shooting. And the original rubber does fit my larger hands better.

 

The rubber grips in your first photo are indeed Pearce grips. They are not original to the pistol.
