FEG AP9

The FEG AP9 is a semi-automatic pistol designed and manufactured by the FÉG company of Hungary.

History
FEG designed this weapon, based on the German Walter PP/PPK pistol series, just like many of the other post World War II Hungarian pistols. The pistols were produced primarily for the civilian market, and export. They use 9mm Browning Short (.380 ACP) ammunition, have a 7 round magazine capacity, and are factory sighted for 25 metres.

Design
The AP9 is a self-loading pistol using the blowback mechanism with a double action trigger, has a rotating safety/decocking lever on the left side of the slide, and is equipped with a firing pin safety mechanism, which prevents the firing pin from striking the primer of a loaded cartridge, unless the trigger is pulled. Field-stripping the pistol for cleaning is accomplished identically to the Walther PP pistol.
