FEG R61 PPK clone
Didn't want to pay $500-$600 for a Walther PPK 380 ACP.
So, got this one.
Not in to bad of a shape
Then I got this holster. Has 4 ways it can be used but only the IWB and OWB seem right.
Does fit nicely in the front pocket for summer CC and a little flatter then my M 638 but does weight more for sure.

I am a big fan of the FEG pa-63 cousin... in 9x18 mak... easy pocket carry... easy holster carry... and I prefer the boost in power over the 380...

According to my Speer # 13 reloading manual, there isn't that much of a difference in MV with 90 or 95 grain bullets between the 380 ACP and the Makarov.
And I reload....

I had an FEG something or other once. Kind of a High Power looking thing that wouldn't extract. Until I hit about 8.8 grains of Blue Dot. Then it blew cases out pretty well. At the time, 8.8 grains was a max load.

I carry one as well. IMO an excellent choice as it's light weight,very reliable and I believe the 9mm Makarov packs a bigger punch than the 380.

You don't see the all blued version too often. I only ever saw one in person and it was a few weeks ago. Someone had traded it in to my LGS. Like new condition

I had an SMC-380 that was all blued (well, parkerized) and had a steel frame. I should not have let it get away, but I'm honestly happier with the pocket carry of the lighter Al/Ti frame.
The .22 version has always intrigued me, but small .22s are so frequently problematic that I haven't ever dared pick up one in that caliber of these no-longer-imported/supported pistols.
