Hungarian .32 auto pistol

[ac3boyz]

For some reason I think these look really cool and I don't even know what they are.  Anybody have any experience with them?  That has to be a good price at 2 bills.

You mean these right?.....http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?groupid=900&name=Hungarian+FEG+AP-MBP+.32+Auto+Pistol

 

They are fine, accurate pistols. I've never owned one but did have the 9x18mm version at one time (PA-63).  It was unpleasant to shoot after a while.  I have shot one of these .32 ACP versions and they are nice.

 

Like many other Eastern European pistols it's a knock-off of the Walther PPK.  I call it a Po' Man's James Bond gun.

 

These little .32's are amazingly accurate.  Unfortunately, ammo is not getting any cheaper.  If you do make the decision use European ammo, it's much hotter than US made and ensures better reliability.

 

From the pics it looks like those are TGI Knox TN imports.  They are the only importer in the business who knows how to NOT destroy a gun with absurd billboard import stamps.

That's them.  Strange, i thought i had copied the picture.  Didn't stick.

 

Garufa, I can always bet on you knowing about any gun I post up.  Thanks for sharing your knowledge.  Even without any comments, I started the process of ordering but got hung up on their FFL selection.  Only a few all around Nashville that I could find and I didn't recognize any of them.  Think I'll try a little harder.  Sounds like a nice pistol to have.

I'd be tempted to get one myself if I didn't already have that itch scratched with a little CZ-50.  Hope it works out for you....32's are dandy little pistols, even if underpowered by American (and today's) standards.  But look at it this way....the round was designed by JMB himself.

I was wondering about those today as well.

Decent guns, worth the price, but I believe they have soft aluminum frames so they tend to show a good amount of wear from friction and use. If you get all steel ones they will be more pleasant to shoot. 32 acp not going to be cheap though so you probably won't shoot it much, and I'd not rely on it for defense unless it was all I had.

You can ship from aim to any ffl dealer, not just those on their website list. Just fill in your ffl dealer info in the shipping address section. I use d&t arms in Goodlettsville, cheap transfer prices and great service. Worth the drive.

Yep. D&T for transfers. I use them exclusively now.

 

And the little 32 is tempting...

The guys at D & T are awesome.  HP, pick up one and I'll trade you for it in a few months.   :pleased:

I am absolutely in love with the .32 ACP.  I have two pistols that shoot them.  One is the FEG.  

 

It is a wonderful little pistol, I am not sure what I paid for it anymore.  Bought it FTF several years ago at a gun show.  Maybe a buck and a half??

 

The DA pull is pretty damn stiff, but it is a heckuva shooter.  I like to pretend I am a double ought spy when I shoot it.

[ac3boyz]

Well, now I've got to find some .32 ACP ammo.

Well, now I've got to find some .32 ACP ammo.

and that is the rub

[bersaguy]

32 ammo is becoming harder to come by and i think that is because many modern gun manufacturers have discontinued making that caliper but that is ...................JMHO

[Garufa]

AIM has ammo as well  http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=ARU32FMJ73&name=Geco+.32+Auto+73grn+FMJ+50rd+Box&groupid=28 Not cheap but GECO is generally good stuff.

 

I think it's one of those calibers that's made in batches once or twice a year.

That's sweet...  I need one of those for my collection.

I like that just because it's called Skorpion.  Does it have the happy switch?
