The PA-63 follows the proven Walther PP pattern and was the standard Hungarian service sidearm beginning in 1963, serving into the mid-1990s. It is often mislabeled as a Makarov due to its chambering, but its design is distinct. This example is chambered in 9x18mm Makarov and operates via a straight blowback system.
Construction is focused on durability and carry weight: a blued steel slide tops a light-colored, hard-anodized aluminum alloy frame for a classic two-tone finish. Controls include a slide-mounted safety/decocker and DA/SA trigger. It uses a ring-style exposed hammer and does not have an external slide-release lever.
Size and handling are compact and practical. The barrel measures approximately 3.9 inches, with an overall length of about 6.9 inches and an unloaded weight near 21.0 ounces. Capacity is 7+1 using a single-column magazine; this listing includes one 7-round magazine with a finger-rest floorplate.
Sighting is straightforward with a fixed integral blade front and a square-notch rear. The slide features rear serrations and an external extractor. Import marking reads C.A.I. Georgia, VT, reflecting its U.S. importation following Hungarian surplus release.
