History

FEG designed this weapon, based on the German Walter PP/PPK pistol series, just like many of the other post World War 2. Hungarian pistols. The pistols were produced primarily for the civilian market, and export. They use 9mm Browning Short 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 catridge, unless the trigger is pulled.
