Thread: How should I carry a Pa-63 9x18mm

Looks good. I wanted to see how you positioned it. I might give it a try. I modified a fobus to work with the PA63. Its not bad but this would be better. Thanks. Bob T

MLN1963, First, if you already Mexican carry then you'll love the ClipDraw. Second, you're right on with the CLP wipedown when sweat becomes a problem. You should be fine. Tom

One of the improvements in the FEG pistol (compared to the Walther PP, from which it is derived) is a passive safety built into the firing pin. A spring and plunger hold the rear of the firing pin down, out of line with the hammer. A pin in the frame, actuated by the trigger group, pushes the firing pin up and in line with the hammer. The hammer can not touch the firing pin unless the trigger is all the way back. Based on the design, and my...

If it's anything like a CZ-82, it's perfectly safe. Where I to carry it, I'd have one in the chamber, hammer forward and safety off. The hammer is NOT resting on the firing pin and will not go forward without being charged first. That's all assuming it's like the CZ-82. I personally don't see the point of a safety for a carry pistol unless it's a single action and you carry it cocked and locked.

I don't carry concealed yet - the judge in my county likes people to have three or four years of Hunting & Target Only before he grants a CCW - but I have a PA-63 earmarked for that role when the time comes. Nice to know it can be carried in Ready mode without having to worry about taking the safety off first.

The page on design improvements www.hungariae.com/Feg-PP.htm discusses the improved safety system. It's a great source of information about the FEG's. Sadly, it extended my wish list by quite a bit. Robert Great website! Thanks!

Bob T Would be nice to know some details of exactly how he carried it in his pocket. A gun carried loose in a pocket with just a couple items can be dangerous even with the passive safety described. keys, a pocketknife, etc. can get into...

Whenever I carry, it is the PA-63. I was so surprised by the accuracy. I put 14 rounds of Russian surplus in the x area from about 22 feet. My Smith and Wesson J frame couldn't do that. I have one in the chamber and hammer down. First shot double action.

Since I asked this same question a few months ago, I have carried my PA-63 with one in the chamber, topped off and safety off. It will take a good pull on the trigger to fire in this state of readiness. I carry it in a Fobus holster in the colder months and in a Smart Carry during the summer months. A quick draw and I am ready to fire with a very few steps. I carry my PA-63 with extra mag at all times. Great gun and extremely accurate. IMHO.

Every time I draw this weapon at the range my personal procedure is to flip the safety, it's hardwired into my brain and I don't even think about it. The safety is nicely placed for my thumb. The heavy DA trigger pull plus the advanced safety makes this a very, very secure weapon for...
