The PA-63 is a fine knock off of a Walther PP. I picked one up at Aim a year ago. It is like new.
It's aluminum frame make it 1/2 oz. lighter than the P-64. The PA-63 is 3/4" longer and 1/16" taller than the P-64 with an unmodified mag base. The PA-63 mag carries 7 rounds.
It is as accurate as a P-64 from my experiences.
This gun can also benefit from spring changes. Wolff makes a variety for this model. Many complain of the sharp recoil. Seems the most common is a 13 lb recoil spring to replace the original 11 lb. This eliminates the "bite".
The 11 pound hammer spring will reduce DA pull. There were reports of failures to fire with hammer springs lighter than 11 lbs.
If you like the P-64, you should feel right at home with the PA-63.
It's great if you have smaller hands...my girlfriend really liked the fit and balance of the PA-63.
At $110 it would be hard to pass up.

I've had mine for about a year now and everything Norm says is true. Good news though, Wolff Gun springs sells replacement springs that tame the pistol right down just like the P64. Accuracy is almost as good as the 64 and I think the control is a little better with the heavier slide while doing double, single taps and strings of shots. I detest the grooved trigger, it down right hurts after shooting it for a while. The big draw back is the increased length of the slide, big plus is the extra round in the mag. Fixes are as easy as they are on the 64. I have carried in a four pouch gun pack fully loaded for an entire day with no discomfort.
A good buy at that price.

Didn't take Aim long to ditch their remaining PA-63 inventory. They are no longer listed on their web site. Oh well.

I have a PA-63 that I bought not long ago. As far as I am concerned it is a pretty darn good gun for the price. Some say that the alloy frame will crack after a period of use but, I have heard of guys shooting them for 4 or 5 years with no problem with the frame. Just keep shooting 95 gr or lighter and I think it will hold up just fine. Mine shoots good but like someone said, it does have a "bite". Happy shootin' ;D

I have wanted one for a while but shipping and transfer added $50 to the price. I finally bought one at a show in March for $146 OTD.

Hello all,
I have always been impressed with the robust construction of the PA-63, but when I found out that the frame was constructed of a aluminum-titanium alloy, my jaw dropped for several seconds and stayed there. My belief was that S&W and Taurus were the only manufacturers of titanium-alloy frames. You could have pushed me over with a feather when I found out that Feg. was the first company to build the first practical titanium-aluminum frame for the semi-auto pistol. I am a very very happy owner of a PA-63.

P.S.
Norm,
You have got to pass this kind of info more often, you made my day.............. G.R.
P.P.S.
Don't tell anyone else, they will all be out there driving up the prices.
G.R.
P.P.P.S, is that also acceptable?
AIM currently is selling them for $129.00, get to it gang!
