Went to gun show this weekend & emerged happy as a clam.Sold some stuff & bought this Walther wannabe. It uses the Walther design but is about 3/4 size. Made in Hungary,the finish is as good or better than our USA stuff. Carl Walther design-quick take-down,barrel exchange is slick . Cost $179.00

Thought it'd be ideal for a carry because of it's compactness & caliber. It fires a shortened Makarov 9MM round & should be sufficent for self-protection.


Here in Central Florida the recession is showing up.The vendors & customers were about equally divided with about 1 in five buyers bringing something in to sell.

PS Tried to research this weapon but hit a brick wall.

Any ideas or help ?

Use Google to search on FEG pistol. You'll find quite a bit. Well made pistols from Hungary, compare favorably to Walther at much better prices
 
It is an amazing handgun,for sure .It fits in my belt & when I buckle up it's aimed away from my body. Since I wear guyaberra shirts or leave my shirttails out , I'll need no holster either.I am a 6'+ 2 and have large hands-no slide pinching either.

I fell in the butter !

"I fell in the butter." Ha, ha, ha! That's funny, Uncle Alan. :D

I suspect the pistol you bought is just like one I have. It's a good copy of a Walther PP, but in the 9mm Makarov caliber. I've actually got a pair of them because I liked the first one so well after I got it. I think it's a real bargain for the quality you get. I suggest you get a couple of extra magazines for it. The magazine is the heart of a pistol. If you want to baby the magazine spring you can load it to one round less than capacity.

Come to think of it, there is a smaller Hungarian pistol that's a good copy of a Walther PPK. These are scarcer, though. I've only seen one and I bought it, too. This model is also in 9mm Makarov caliber. It has a reputation for recoil.
 
We done exceedingly well in choosing this weapon.It is superior to my .40mm Steyer. Sold it because it extracted too much thumb webbing on rapid fire.'tho the 9 mm is a bit punier, a double tap'll take care of business.




Uncle Alan :D
 
good guns for the money, the only problem i've ever read about them is that it's a good idea to replace the recoil spring and the firing pin spring, i'm sorry i can't remember why now. slick little guns.

I've got a ducks back & small shots just run off. You see, I was carrying a .22 mag with a one inch barrel. This gun greatly increases range from belt buckle distance quite a bit....

I believe the Makarov round is 9x18mm. Very close to .380 auto, but not interchangeable.
Hornady makes a nice hollowpoint round for this caliber.

We're really talking about a FEG pistol in 9x18 Makarov caliber, right? Or is that just an assumption? Does anybody know for sure what we're really talking about? :confused:

uses the Walther design but is about 3/4 size

Which Walther design? The P-38? The PPK? Something else? There are a lot of Walther designs....
 
sounds like this feg is the one about the size of the walther PP. good guns for the money.
 
Just FYI...

The .380 ACP or 9 MM Kurz is 9 X 17 MM and uses a .355 dia. bullet.

The Makarov round is 9 X 18 and uses a .362 (?) dia. bullet.

The Luger round is 9 X 19 and uses a .355 dia. bullet.

The .380 and the Makarov rounds are nearly always chambered in a blowback design pistol. The higher pressure Luger round is nearly always chambered in a locked breech design. Be sure which 9 MM round you're dealing with.

A browser the program that allows you to surf the net. It is the program you used to post the above lines. (I assume you are using a computer). :)
 
I went through C.C.P. classes with an FEG Makarov...., I did much better with it than some there with Glocks, Smiths, and even one Kimber....., the trigger pull is just a little stiff but I was very pleased with the shot group.
