Concealed holster for PA-63

[fal_762x51]

So, I'm going to add the PA-63 to my CCW, the 1911 is too big for the formal occasions. Does anyone know of a good non-leather holster for the little thing?

Hello Fal 762x51,

I've been thinking about buying a Feg PA-63 for a while. How do you like it?

I've got a PA-63 and it's okay. For $120 it's worth picking one up just to have. It's pretty accurate, but because it's an aluminum frame, it's pretty light and the recoil sucks. The first time I shot it, I put 100 rounds though it and the web of my hand was bruised.

As for the holster, since it's the same size a Walther PP, I would think anything made for the PP or PPK would work well. It's almost a dead-on copy.

get the wolff recoil spring to reduce the recoil; for plinking wearing glove also helps

replace the hammer spring to get better trigger pull

Thanks guys, It's available for a great price, and not bad looking for a commie block handgun.

One more question, will the PA-63 feed 9x18mm hollow points reliably?

I had to polish the ramp on mine.

Just wondered about HP Makarov ammo, as I thought this might make good self defense ammo for CCW :

it seems the mak was designe dto shoot wierd conical FMJ. i have a bulgarian and it is highly accurate. the kick is overly snappy, though.

I already have! I'm using the 15lbs recoil spring and the 9lbs trigger spring. It has helped, but it still has a bit of a bite to it. I have a .380 barrel I'm hoping to swap into it. Hopefully that'll help out too. I originally bought it for my GF because she hates shooting my 1911. Now she hates the PA even more.

wont the longer frame/barrel make an odd fit? Its leather but IWB Redstorm Holsters, only $20 to boot. Are there any synthetics for a PPK?
