FEG PA-63 9×18mm Makarov Two-Tone DA/SA Hungarian Service Pistol
The FEG PA-63 is a Cold War–era Hungarian service pistol that blends the proven Walther PP layout with a lighter aluminum-alloy frame and the 9×18 mm Makarov cartridge.

What’s Included
- FEG PA-63 pistol
- One 7-round factory steel magazine with alloy finger-rest floorplate
Designed in the late 1950s and adopted in 1963, the PA-63 replaced the Tokarev in Hungarian military service. Its straight-blowback action, combined with a hard-anodized aluminum-alloy frame, trims weight while maintaining reliable operation with the 9×18 mm Makarov cartridge.
This example retains its original two-tone appearance: a blued steel slide with deep rear serrations paired to the natural alloy frame. The slide-mounted safety also functions as a decocker, backing up the double-action/single-action trigger system.
Practical features include a heel magazine release favored for duty carry, fixed blade/notch sights, and a spur hammer for easy manual control. Black checkered plastic grips provide a secure hold without adding bulk to the full-size profile.
Surplus proof and import marks—“KBI” and “HBG”—confirm its legitimate Cold War lineage and 1990s U.S. importation. For collectors seeking an authentic Eastern Bloc sidearm or shooters looking for a classic alloy-frame pistol, this PA-63 offers verified history and service-grade reliability.
