Very nice little pistol, two or three failures to eject was all.
I like the way it feels and it hits accuratly enough for me.
Got my in the waistband holster today too.

That's only two or three failures to eject too many. Any idea what the problem is?

Yea, I agree. The only time mine has acted up is with my wife limp-wristing it, causing a failure. But since we worked on a different hold, we haven't had a problem, so I am hoping that was it.

It had a problem with the round sticking in the chamber. I dont know if it was the Silver bear hollow points or what. I had to remove the slide twice to clear the round. It could have been that it was 30 degrees and two feet of snow as well.?

maddogrecurve,
Did you give the pistol a proper cleaning, lube and oil prior to shooting it? I had similar problems when I first bought mine and norm or papabear suggested a good cleaning and the problem went away. Stick with the Silver Bear, it's great ammo. and is not causing the problem.

P.S.
It wouldn't hurt to do the same with the mags. also.

Take the mags apart you mean? K, i will and i agree, they shot more accuratly through my CZ 83 than the American Eagles.

I shot again this week and had two failures to load in chamber. I dont quite know why but it happens.
BTW the silver bears dont expand!!!!! I shot two into ends of logs and trees and dug them out, they look as though they could be reloaded! Perfect shape no expansion.

Just the break in. Be patient.

Ok, i am, just commenting cause peeps were telling me this should'nt happen.
Thanks Kempin

I wouldnt expect hollowpoints to expand in that type of material. HP's are designed to expand as intended in softer materials...

Oh ok creature, thanks......

Shot my PA-63 this evening. I had several failures to load. I only shot two clips worth(7 shots each) and probably had 5-6 fail to load. It was cold here and I was standing in 6 in. of snow so I quit pretty quick. Does it need to be broke in? Is there anything that I need to do to help it?

what ammo are you shooting the grn. and the maker

NORM

Wolf Performance Ammunition, Military Classic, 9 mm Makarov 95 GR. FMJ, berdan primed, Made in Russia, Steel Case

make sure the gun is completely clean then clean it again

chances are its the ammo, try to get some MFS, S&B ,FLOCCHI,or WINCHESTER , these all have a .363 dia. bullet in them witch the PA-63 is design for,

I don't know what the dia. wolf is because refused to buy it , but I suspect its .364 or .365 and will hang up in the Mag

my opinions on WOLF ammo

(shooting WOLF is like putting balled tries on a CORVETTE soon or later you are going to have blow out and its going to expensive to fix)
