My new (to me) PA-63

This is actually my second one. They both look brand spanking new. :D

Thanks! I don't see them very often, but the ones I've seen all look unissued. Not sure if they really never were issued, or if they were refurbished, or specifically built for export, or what. Maybe someone knows something about the history of these guns?

I didn't care for the two-tone look initially, but it sort of grows on you after a while. :D

The two-tone look is my favorite part of this firearm. :)

Very Nice. The PA63 was my first 9x18 and is still one of my favorites. Mine was new (un-fired). After Wolf spring addition, the double action is great. Where did you buy it? I noticed that Fin Feather and Fur down in Ashland, OH were advertising them recently. I picked up mine 3 yrs ago at a local gun shop for $129.00...what a deal !!
Enjoy!

I got this one at Olde English, for just a hair over $200. Come to think of it, that's where I bought my first one.

I like the folks at Olde English. I think I bought my first handgun there.

I just wish their FFL Transfer fee was more reasonable.

Me too - a Browning Hi power, some twenty odd years ago. Still my baby. :D
