FEG R61?

[dgposton]

Any word on the FEG R61? Heard it might be smaller and lighter yet than the P64 (which I love), and also in the 9x18 Mak chambering.

every once in a while one will show up , FEG has not made that gun for years, they went to the steel frame BR-61, and seeing FEG may or may not be in business any more, they are rare

Wow! Those are absolutely beautiful! What did you do to get the finish to look so dark and glossy? Did you re-blue them and add new grips? I want my P-64 to look like that!

How does the BR-61 compare to the P-64? Is it a bit lighter and more compact? How does it shoot?

What's your favorite between the two?

that and old scanned pix , the grips I polish smooth on both of them , I don't like checkered grips , didn't refinish ether of the guns, I think the Br-61 has less bit to it than the P-64 accuracy is about the same,
the BR-61 is little lighter but not much

this is the way they are now I have 2 of them ,I put Dennis grip's on them





the R-61 is lighter because it has an alloy frame, the BR -61 is the same size as the original PPK

If you did a search here, you'd find a thread on mine . . . There's a nice SMC-918 (same thing, civilian clothes) on GB right now.

Thought I'd post these pix (taken Saturday) of my friend's P-64 next to my R61.
