They're available for both front and rear.

I realize I'm bumping an old thread, but I figure this might help. http://www.ammoengine.com They collate ammo prices from a bunch of different online vendors and it's easy to search by caliber and sort by price.

Yes, it's very neat stuff. I have a bunch of the Super Colibri (which is a little louder/more powerful than the standard stuff) which I bought from Cheaper Than Dirt a few years back when they had it on sale for $5/brick. I've been shooting it in a Colt .22 Peacemaker, and it makes about as much recoil and noise as a cap gun.

I'm not sure if there are any other Makarov owners out there, but if anyone is interested I just received a .22 conversion kit and spare magazine from K-Var. According to the manual which came with it, it will work with box the 9x18 and .380 models. They seem to have a limited number available at this time, and I'm not sure if this will be a normally stocked item. http://www.k-var.com/shop/product.php?productid=17061&cat=268&page=1 I haven't had a chance to do much other than look at it, but it seems to be well made. Hopefully I'll have a chance to put a few rounds through it during Christmas break. No relationship to seller other than as a satisfied customer, etc.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm looking forward to digging my way through the forum. I've been to the main site a number of times reading the reviews, but didn't realize there was a forum here until this afternoon.
