Question for Newday

[EvaBrick]

Should "makarov" be capitalized?
Ex: "He had a makarov tucked in his belt."

Mr. Newday will forgive me for jumping in here, I'm sure.

Yes, "Makarov" should be capitalized, as should "Colt", Smith & Wesson", "Ruger", "Beretta", "Taurus", "Walther", "Thompson", "Glock", "Mossberg", "Kalashnikov", etcetera ad infinitum. 

~A~

Thanks Aiala. I figured he'd like a Cold War question.

I tried looking up some examples, but sometimes the internet isn't all that reliable.
