    Saw this just the other day on converting ammo from 9x19 to 9x18... I know it's not what you're asking, but could be an interesting work-around... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yrmgh3SToE

      If you're referring to a Makarov PM, you can't safely convert it. The PM is a blowback pistol, not suited to the high pressure 9X19 round. There was a "conversion" done involving crating a serrated/scored chamber which was supposed to retard the blowback action; it was not a huge success IIRC. Your best bet is the case conversion linked by meltyman.
      I'm retired. That's right, retired. I don't want to hear about the cop who stopped you today or how you didn't think you should get a ticket. That just makes me grumpy!
