Op has the opportunity to buy a Hungarian FEG PA-63 Makarov copy for about 150$.
Are these handguns worth it? Are they reliable?
How does the 9x18 do in self defense?
And most importantly, should I hold out and look for a russian or german version?

I know it's not the same model, but my p64 runs flawlessly. My only gripe is it kicks the brass 15 feet up in the air. I bought it for a little over $250 and am completely satisfied with it.

These are not "makarov copies". If anything they're ppk copies. They're reliable, but the double action trigger is absolutely awful. It's very challenging to be accurate with the first shot although they're inherently accurate guns (mechanically). The upside is that if you can master the trigger on one of these, you could probably transition to any other double action trigger and be great. 9x18 is fine. It's somewhere between .380 and 9mm. Also check out the p83 wanad and real makarovs. They'll only run you like $100 more.

Enjoy your trash trigger, nigger
