I have tried several times to start a thread on the wonderful GKK series of FEG pistols, but no one seems interested in participating. Is it because no one (except me) has one of these pistols or maybe they're ashamed to to admit owning a Hungarian Browning HP. I've gotten more response from the Browning section. I love my GKK .45 which is more like a S&W than a Browning. So let's hear from some ...
With all due respects, to those who say it is okay to dryfire w/o snap caps may have a point, but I will agree with Pope 130. Snap caps assure no damage and it adds to the training sequence when used. All of my firearms have snap caps for my practice training. IMHO
Lots of center-fire arms that shouldn't be dry-fired. Star Firestar pistols are notorious for breaking firing pins from dry fire, some Llamas as well. Early S&W revolvers with the fixed hammer nose can suffer peening and distortion, Lugers will jam the striker in the forward position, Savage/Stevens pump shotguns will break the tip off the firing pin. SKSs without the return spring will ...
I wouldn't dry fire at all.
The less you do it the better, honestly.
If you want to get a feel for your rifle or handgun, go to the range, load it up, and shoot it for real. That'll give you all the feel you could ever want and more. :]
The reason that he didn't recommend the Hornady XTP rounds in the aluminum framed PA63 is this. The large angular trunicated cone nose profile on the XTP bullet will ruin the frame part of the feed ramp. Since the pa63 is a basic desendant from the walther pp pistol. The barrel is pressed into the frame and then pinned. Then the feed ramp section of the barrel is shaped to fit the feed ramp ...
Hi all,
I just replaced the hammer spring on my FEG PPH (PA-63 but in .380) with a Wolff 9# hammer spring! The DA trigger pull went from bad to worse . This is the opposite of what I expected since I have a PA-63 with a Wolff 9# hammer spring with a trigger pull as smooth as butter!! I put the original hammer spring back in the PPH, and the DA trigger pull is back to normal, which is ...

Definitely sticks better than paint for me and is a lot neater than my paint job. Maybe it's because I didn't clean well enough that the paint flaked off so easily. However, I suspect the FEG finish on the slides/sights is just not good for painting.

I see a lot of comments on the internet about the recoil being excessive and the slide biting the back of the hand - I always jump in...

My suspicion is that it wasnt an issue before with the old barrel as the chamber was worn just...

You can get some super fine grit wet/dry sandpaper, like 1000 grit or finer, and lightly polish the edges of the feed lips, should help that problem. Push the follower down, then put a toothpick through the witness holes to hold the follower down. Then gently sand...
