Mauser Compact DA 9mm.. What is it?

Fishslayer · Feb 10, 2011

Google failed to turn up much but one picture.

Put money down on one of these today. No magazine (Kalifornistan

) and not in as nice a shape, but I didn't pay $1K for it either.

Anybody tell me about it? It looks like a DA/SA Hi Power.

MAUSER MODEL COMPACT DA

IIRC, these were made by FEG in Hungary. However, at my age, I get overcome by CRS at times, so get some additional confirmation. If FEG, there may be some preban mags in CA that will fit.

Added: The model was the FEG P9R. Here'e a link:
http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg/hu/feg-p9r-e.html
The site identifies it as being marketed by Mauser in Europe as the Mauser model 90DA.

regarding that 1st link to simpson's, wow!
i've done business with them in the past but 995 dollars for what is basicly a feg which is at best a 300 dollar gun?
that is unbelieveable!

I bought a P9R years ago from Century Arms Intl. A great gun: basically a DA Hi-Point for about $200! But, a crack developed in the lug under the chamber. I was able to get a new barrel, but it apparently needs to be finish-fit, so the gun is now sitting in my safe, on my list of things to have fixed once I find a really good gunsmith.

Any idea what sort of mag it is?

As i understand it they copied the DA from a S&W 5906. The SA mags are interchangeable (as far as I can find) with the Hi Power.

Not really sure about the DA.

Don't think the DA mags are interchangeable with HiPower. Hadn't heard it was a copy of the 5906. I believe my gun came with 3 mags. I knew a guy who ran a gun store, and when he was burglarized, they cleaned out all of the guns but left the boxes and magazines. So, I picked up 2 more "factory" mags, and got some cheapo 10 round mags when the whole mag-ban thing was in. I think I've seen them in the CDNN catalogue before, but I could be mistaken. Cheaper Than Dirt also sometimes has them.

SUCCESS!

Ordered up a ProMag (barf) for a FEG P9R/P9rK. Same gun, different name.

Went down to the shop & HEY! It fit, slide locked back. Sweet. Then they let me try a box of ammo through it. 50 rds without a single hiccup. Pretty accurate, too. A tad left but a decent group. SA trigger is heavy but clean.

I get it out of Kalifornistan pistol jail 3/20.

Factory ten rounders are available, but one must search. ProMag has discontinued the P9R mags so guess I'd better grab a few while I can.
