Hungarian manufactured pistol fairly cheap currently. I am surpised I have not gotten a response, but then again most everyone on here has to shoot a shoulder cannon or a hand cannon.

deboog93, I haven't shot a current milsurp FEG, But the one I did years ago proved to be a reliably functioning firearm. I wouldn't try any of the new .32 whiz-bang ammo, but I'd stick with the ammo that it was designed for---FMJ.. And no, not every one here uses large unpleasant handguns all the time, but they are still fun to shoot....sometimes!!!

The FEG has a really heavy double action pull, so much so that it effects 1st shot accuracy big time. But the good news is that Wolf Gun Springs sells a spring kit for the FEG pistols and will turn that beast of a trigger into something you can actually work with.
Personally I would opt for the 9x18Mak or .380ACP FEG instead of the .32ACP model, but to each his own. For the money the FEG is really not a bad pistol and when you spend the extra $20 on the Wolf spring kits its a nice little second gun. Spare parts are hard to find though, mags almost always have to be ordered from one of the online retailers because few shops carry spare mags for the FEG's in any caliber.

I have owned both the PA-63, and the 32 cal. cousin the AP MBP. Both were very accurate, and pleasant to shoot. I did change out the hammer spring and the recoil springs on both of the with Wolff springs, made them much more enjoyable. I would not hesitate to buy more of them. For the price they are a barrel of fun.

Just for the update
I have bought the FEG and am very pleasantly surprised by the way it shoots and handles. I would recommend one of these guns to anyone. Mine is currently being used as my carry weapon and is just the right size for what I am doing. Friend of mine has a pa63 and I do not think the recoil in that gun is very bad. Like both weapons.
