Looking for info as to the quality of these PPK clones mfg. by American Arms, Kansas City under the Erma-Werke Lic.Just looking at them they seem to be much better than the pot metal junk that Davis and Jennings put out. I didn't have a magnet with to test the Erma but it didn't appear to be pot metal.American Arms doesn't seem to have a web site that I can find or are there any field tests on these on the web. I would like someone's else's opinion before i plunk down $175 for one.

    Drop down this column, to the second page, and a post "Makarov-9mm" by rrdtad.AntiqueDr and others have given the stamp of approval to the Hungarian PA-63.I am going to a gun show in Jacksonville, on Sunday and if they have one that looks OK and is under $140, it will come home with me.You have a show in Pensacola on November 3/4 at the Interstate Fairgrounds. It might be a good place to pick one up.If Ed Phillips is there with his Catalpa Plantation products, get a bottle of his Mississippi Hot Sauce. It will NOT burn you up as many will. But it does have some more flavor. Everyone at work asks if I put it on everything. My answer is NO, I don't put it on watermellon or ice cream.

    You beat me to the punch on the Hungarian FEG PA-63. Feg seems to make a decent gun an an incredibly low price. It isn't precision machinery but my Feg Hi-Power clone is quite accurate and reliable. I just needed to ditch the magazine that it was shipped with.

    Thanks for the replies, What I am really looking at (Erma-Werke) is 22 Cal. If I ere to go to the 9mm I would just get a E. German Makarov.(Rebarreled to .380)Or on of AntiqueDr's PA-63's. They are a great deal.
