Horsefly Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Someone has them in Shotgun News for 139.95.I've bought 3 in the past,one for me and my brothers,and we all 3 think they are the best concealed pistol we own.They fit in bluejeans pockets and are so very accurate.At that price,rubbing against your car keys in your pocket won't bother you too much.I'm going to order another for my wife.Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlunity Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Jerry is right. I have had one since they were called PPH by interarms. The pistol has NEVER failed to fire any type of .380 ammo. It is a very very good pistol and the price is 1980's..you cannot go wrong.

Horsefly Posted February 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Yep Jim,there in J&G'S add in Shotgun News.I use Sellier Bellot shells I get at Cheaper Than Dirt for about 7 bucks for a box of 50.I've shot Wolf too,but really like Sellier.Like a lot of small auto's,they don't like hollow points.They hang up in the mag.They're the best pocket tote-around pistol I ever owned,and the most accurate too.I loaned mine to a freind to use in his Concealed license course,and he shot a 100 percent.He ordered one real soon after.Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FC Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Are they C&R? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Arms Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Are they C&R? No, they're not C&R eligible. They are OK to ship to the People's Republik of CA, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beck Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I'm new to this site. Looking for advice help, on pistols. Want to purchase a gun and learn to effectively learn how to use it for protection. Have experience with 22 caliber pistols. Have been told the 9 millimeter is a great gun to have. Is Glock the best? Is there accuracy only good for 10 -20 yards? Is this a good choice for protection? I have much experience with rifles, hunting deer, pheasants rabbits etc. but need advice on pistols. Essentially, what is a good pistol to purchase and practice with?? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest karl Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 First, Welcome. As to pistols, there is realy no "best' one. it depends on: What you need it for. How much you can afford to spend. For defence and target shooting the FEG PA63 we were talking about is hard to beat. The cost is low and the one I have an older PPH, will handle Hollow points. As to skill, I will leave that to others to explain as I know the theory but would be better with a knife in a gunfight. Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially, what is a good pistol to purchase and practice with?? John A good pistol to purchase and practice with is something that you can afford to buy a lot of ammo for and shoot it a lot. If you want to be effective with a handgun (or any firearm) you have to put in the time and put a lot of lead downrange. I think the answer to the question "what is a good pistol to purchase and practice with" has more to do with the caliber than the make or model. The 9mm (9x19) is an excellent choice. It is also very inexpensive to shoot. You asked about Glocks. They are very good, but are they the best? What is the best restaurant to eat at? It all depends on what you want and like. 99.9% of all the handguns available out there go bang when you pull the trigger. Start with something cheap and shoot it a lot. A $100 gun you actually practise with is better than a $800 gun you can't afford to shoot. Matt, owner Tombstone Arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamprat Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 John, Welcome. A big part of choosing the right pistol for you depends also on your size of hand. Some small handed folk just can't handle a bigger pistol and vice versa for big handed folks. I have rather large hands and some small pistols are really hard for me to shoot accurately. I would suggest you try the fit of several pistols then pick the one that fits you best. Name or caliber don't matter if you can't hit what you shoot at.

Guest Guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 anyone have size/weight/shootablity comparisons between this PA63 and the P64 sold by SOG (for one)? they both look a lot like a walther, and i've heard good things about the P64. only $10 difference.... anyone handled both? My only complaint with the P64 is the double action trigger pull. I haven't measured it, but it is absolutely horrendous (maybe P64 stands for trigger 'Pull: 64lbs.') The Hungarians are a little bigger (slide is ¾" longer), but have very nice triggers. The PA-63 is identical in size to the CZ-50 (CZ-50 is a .32) and it is also the lightest (Alloy Frame). So . . . They all have their strong points: P-64 is the smallest, but has an ignorant DA trigger. PA-63 is the lightest. Even though the CZ-50 is a .32, it is the nicest and is C&R eligible.
