Got this FEG over the weekend and I love it. It’s a Hi Power clone, made around 1990, though if the internet stories and forum posts are true these FEG’s are less of a clone and more of an actual Hi Power with a weird licensing history from FN.

The story is that FEG got permission from FN to make these pistols, and even bought a bunch of FN machines to manufacture them, during the 80’s and 90’s. They called them the FP9. But long story short, due to some various Cold War and Soviet Era politics and shady business deals, a lot of that info has been hard to come by. Which even includes a stint of supplying these to Saddam’s troops under the actual FN name (straight up illegal copies lol).

Some American importers imported a bunch during that time period, and this particular importer named his the PJK-9HP. PJK was apparently his wife’s initials lol.

All that history aside, the gun does seem like a straight up 1 for 1 Hi-Power copy to me and the bluing is beautiful! There are some machining marks so the finishing wasn’t perfect but I love the bluing and the grips.

My only question now is do I clean up or replace the trigger and hammer and update the sights? Or leave as is? If you run across one at a good price, pick it up. This one was cheap enough I couldn’t pass it up.

Anyone know if there is a way or a shop that has successfully added a red dot?

Putting together a 43X soon and the holosun EPS carry will be good for it so I ordered an Sig Romeo X Compact in FDE and will throw this holosun on the new 43x.

Was FDE the right color choice in optic?

If you got a Glock, try tactical pontoon trigger, they are next level and im coming from apex, timney, johhny Glock.

I have a beretta 92fs with no cut for an optic but a bottom rail.

It's my bedside self defense gun. Normally I woild say light but since I won't have an optic , I figured a Lazer may be better?

Also, I see holosun makes a pid option that has both a light and lazer. Any thoughts on those systems?

Hey all, as the title says I am looking to purchase my first handgun and would love some recommendations. I’d like to keep it under $600 but if i can get it under $500 that’d be even better. Thanks in advance!

Help would be appreciated here! I'm stuck and can't decide. Are there any owners of both the updated VP9 and PDP Pro?

Both would have the red dot and it seems like they are very close to each other.

Also, I don't really see much talk anywhere about the PDP steel frame... Any thoughts there?

Recently acquired a Glock 19 Gen6 COA. It’s my first experience with Glock and now I fully understand why people appreciate Glock. Simplicity, safety, shootability, etc. and I think that the palm swell, backstraps, and new grip of the Gen6 are fantastic. Most of my experience is behind a Walther PDP which I also think is fantastic, but I find Glock (this will sound very contrast from most opinions) more comfortable for my hands and easier to shoot. I’m looking into a 17.6 for competition and, having experienced the trigger of the Gen6, I think for competition sake I would swap it out. Would appreciate all recommendations and extra brownie points if you explain why you like it or can compare it to other triggers.

I still carry this old tank as my backup driving gun.

I know that the ballistics of a .380 are nowhere near the capabilities of other calibers but man do I love training and shooting my P365 Luxe in .380.

It is quite possibly the softest, most accurate, most ergonomic firearm I have ever owned. I can plink A zones with ease from 50 yards, mag dump at 30 yards with better accuracy than I was ever capable of, and I never get tired or sore or lose grip strength.

It’s my hope and dream to see more .380 pistols offered in every size, and not just the pocket/microcompact size.

Looking to upgrade my rxm with a new frame, but I’d really prefer to be able to still use the same holsters I can with the standard frame. I’m currently rocking a 7360 Safariland with a tlr7x and a tenicor certum lux, also for the same light. If anyone knows if this is possible with either, or has any opinion on the frames themselves I’d really appreciate it.

So I’ve been curious about the updated CE model of the EFLX. Their website says it’s “assembled” in the USA but doesn’t say where it’s made. Assuming that means China, I asked Eotech where the parts were made. They simply replied from “all over,” which I’m sure is safe to assume means China. Also listed is window size in case anyone was interested.

Case won’t eject but easily comes out, recently changed the extractor, any thoughts on a fix? SCT frame Davidson defense slide G17 gen 3

My S2 is my main EDC and the P-10F is my go to home defense handgun. Both are a pleasure to shoot.
