Just wanted to post some pictures of the uncommon Polish PM63 that the SEALs captured at the end of Dec 03' in Baghdad. Its an interesting design, no selector switch but use the trigger for control. Light short stroke for semi and full to the rear for auto. Unique takedown and has a folding stock and vertical foregrip. Its chambered for the 9x18mm Makarov cartridge. The Polish Grom I worked with then remember calling it the "Widow Maker" as you could shoot your hand off.
CD ETA it fires from the open bolt. The muzzle extension allows you to cock the gun one handed by pushing the muzzle down on something solid. Two mag capacities if I remember correctly were 15/25 rds. I didn't get to play with it much as I only had less then 10 rds. Another historical note that M9 Beretta on my hip has a slide lock on it a suppressor. Its the same M9 that I carried on my SR mission during the first Gulf War during Feb 91'. |

Since I had no intructions on how to disassemble it and there are no noticable pins. The barrel is removed like on a Baby Browning .25 ACP. IE you twist the barrel for removeale and then you can remove the slide. But again this is going off my memory for over 7 yrs. These were made during the Cold War when Poland was part of the Warsaw Pact.
