A Favorite Pistol

[EssOne]

This is one of my all-time favorite pistols.

 

It is a Hungarian copy of the Browning Hi Power manufactured by FEG, the arms conglomerate of the Hungarian government. It is a KBI import called their Model PJK 9HP. It is a completely reverse engineered, totally faithful copy of the FN design, and was manufactured back around 1994. I bought it unfired in '09 off of GunBroker and I have to say it took my breath away when I opened the box - The high polished blue job honestly rivals the Colt Python and the Weatherby Mark V rifle. I can only conclude that this gun was probably reserved for a VIP, given the meticulous attention to detail shown by the workmen. Not only are the frame and slide polished to a high sheen, so are the inside of the trigger guard, the slide stop, and the safety lever. But the rear of the slide and frame facing the shooter are polished to a much lower sheen, as they should be. The guy who polished this gun was very good at his trade. The frosting on the cake is that it is tight as a drum in fit, has an excellent trigger, and shoots every bit as well as it looks, routinely producing 15 yard bench rest groups of 1 1/2 - 2 inches. So I really doubt that this was just an ordinary production pistol. I've owned five of these guns and none of them come within a country mile of this one. And all for $315+fees. :up:

 

Anyway I finally went for the brass ring by installing Novak three dot sights and Hogue Kingwood checkered grips. I wanted to bring the gun up to the full potential of its looks and shootery, and I think I probably succeeded. 

Here she is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

.....and to answer your last question - do I baby it? Oh yeah I do - bigtime!!

JMB's true brainchild and his finest design, far exceeding his other work.

Very nice!
