The .32's are sweet, the Mak has some uncomfortable recoil. Not bad, but it can make it less fun as a plinker. Also, because of the fixed barrel, these guns tend to be very accurate, despite rudimentery sights.

After take down, remember that the spring goes on the barrel via small end. Also, some parts are interchangeable with the FEG .32 caliber. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. USMC 1959-1963

Walther PP spring will work, but by the time you run it down, you've spent half the price of the pistol. I gave the pistol to a friend who chased down the spring - he liked it so much he bought one for his daughter. Extractor spring on that one broke too. He ended up buying her a CZ82 - wasn't willing to go through the spring ordeal again.

I have a commercial version in .380-ACP, called the PMK-380 that is my CCDW carry weapon. It's flawlessly fed every brand of ammo except Remington, which causes the ocassional stove-pipe jam.

I think they cost me $9.95 back when CDNN had them; I'm not sure if they still carry them, though?

Painful recoil in my hand due to the Walther PP grip angle and the DA pull was so heavy it was really an SA pistol. Filed off and filled in the thumb rest. Still hurt to shoot. Put in a lighter spring - DA still unacceptable. Sold it, bought some EG Makarovs and love them. BTW, the outside looked good but it was pretty rough machined inside. Definitely not Walther quality even if it does look close.
