Smile New PA-63 owner

Hello All!
I am a long time reader and first time poster to this forum. I just obtained my first PA-63 and really like the look and feel of it. I got it from CDNN Sports and it appears to be new and unfired. I gave it a good cleaning to get the oil off and went out to see what it would do. I am fortunate to live in the country and am able to have a 100 yard range in the back yard. I put a paper plate on the backstop and fired about a half box of Wolf 95 gr FMJ. While I did not hit the plate every time, it was getting easier as I went. Recoil was sharper than expected. I ordered a set of recoil and hammer springs from Wolff. Will be glad to see what they will do. I got a nice skeleton holster and had an Uncle Mike's #5 shoulder holster. When I get this thing smoothed out, it will see use as a concealed carry weapon.

MOCKBA I saw in an earlier post about a PPH. I have one that is missing the extractor and spring. It is a 380 also and I am going to try to put a set of PA-63 parts in and see if they fit. The guns look identical to me. If I am successful I will let you know.

Thanks, Larry

Welcome to the forum. Do please put up the information on how you make out with the spring changes and the extractor transplant. I'm considering a PA-63 for my concealed carry weapon when my CCW comes through (NY being a "may issue" state, not a "shall issue" state), and I'd like to know how to fine-tune it.
