[QUOTE="petesimon, post: 2486625, member: 33566"] Howdy. Your price quote is quite nice, especially the pistol you get will be new or like-new condition. I got it used from gunbroker.com early last year (2013), and it shoots well. So far, I usually use low priced FMJ steel case and brass case ammo such Brown Bear, Silver Bear, Red-Army, and Geco -- all work fine. [ Shameless plug: SGAmmo of Stillwater Oklahoma sells 9x18 ammo for decent prices, maybe $13 or $14 per box of 50 + shipping + tax ]. However, since this pistol is about 26 ounces (730 grams) in weight unloaded without ammo, I think it's a bit heavy. So for weight preferences and a slightly longer barrel, I prefer the FEG PA-63 (using same ammo). Also, while shooting single-action mode, sometimes the PA-63 will shoot straighter than the P-83 (well, at least for me).
