Baikal 70 380 semi- auto pistol

I saw a Baikal IZ 70  380 semi for 125.00  
Good price or not?  Seemed to be in great shape.

I think the price sounds good.  However, I would look for a Makarov in 9X18 caliber.  9X18 is much less expensive and a little more powerful than .380.

Look at this way, if you get a pistol in 9mm Mak. like a PA-63, you can still shoot .380's out of it if you like. Domestic ammo in 9X18 is pretty expensive, I started reloading my own taking 9X19 cases and trimming them to size, then loading them with Hornady XTP's.

I've been buying 9X18 for about $6/box of 50 when bought a 1,000 round case at a time.  That is Barnaul brand, 95 gr. JHP.  Never have had a problem of any king with the gun or ammo.
