This pistol started life as a used but mostly unmodified PJK-9HP. I bought it used from a fellow who also bought it used. History and round count is unknown although the pistol didn’t have much finish wear internally or externally.
The gun had been modified a little from stock. Someone had pulled the mag safety out along the way. The hammer had also been replaced with a spur hammer instead of the ring hammer the FEG guns came with. Maybe the spur hammer is original? I don’t think I’ve ever seen another FEG with a spur hammer but I’m certainly not an expert on these guns or their various configurations.
I sent it to The Action Works awhile back to have the feedramp polished, safety and sear engagement corrected, new sights installed and a matte refinish. Overall, I am very pleased with the results. I had briefly thought about replacing the grips but have decided to stick with what I’ve got. The FEG grips give the gun a nice classic look.
Can you comment on FEG’s status as a firearms manufacturer? Is the P9M/PJK still in production? If not, are there plans to bring it back now that FN is out of the Hi Power business?
One small suggestion if you don’t mind. Add a bit more tang to the back of the frame. Not full-on beavertail as done by the custom shops but rather something with just enough length to help cure hammer bite.
I’ve had Don do a little work to a 1911 previously but this is the first Hi Power I’ve sent him. Quite pleased with it and will probably send him another.
I can’t wait to see this pistol. I have held an RMR onto the top of one of my Hi Powers slides and it is so much wider that I can see how I could make it work. So I am REALLY looking forward to seeing this.
Ditto on eliminating hammer bite. I bubba chopped my ring hammer into a spur and then got rid of the bit. A slightly extended beaver tail would allow any type of hammer.
Dovetailed front and rear sights that take some standard size would be great. The small fixed sights and the massive hammer bite were the only drawbacks on my FEG HP. Without the mag safety the trigger is very acceptable. Fantastic value.
Looking forward to what you can bring in from FEG!
The FEG? No one stocks them they’re no longer imported. DWJIMPORTS on GB has a few HiPowers but all their stuff is Israeli surplus if that matters to you
