Who makes a PA-63/Makarov holster?

Hey all,

I'm in the market for a holster for my FEG PA-63 9x18. But, it seems, NOBODY makes a nice, leather, IWB holster. I'd like one with the shirt-tuckable Kydex clips, if possible.

Where can you get a holster for one of these things???

Don Hume, perhaps?

I have a Hume belt slide, I can't imagine that they don't have IWB models, too. I'm sure there's a few of the custom makers out there who'll be able to oblidge, as well.

I don't see anything with clips, but the best resource for the PA-63 of which I'm aware is located here. They include some resources on Falco holsters. I ordered a Falco leather IWB with a one-way snap belt loop a few years ago, and I've been very pleased with the quality. Falco might have something similar to what you want in stock.

Milt Sparks for one. http://www.miltsparks.com/ Their Versa Max II
has tuckable clips.
Shouldn't any holster for a Walther PPK/PPKS do the trick?

Not a PPK/S holster.

Mak's way bigger. I actually went to Makarov.com, and got holsters there. They have very nice leather belt-slide holsters for less than $30. Enjoy.

I just picked up a cheap-o Uncle Mike's holster. It's supposed to fit a Makarov. It works ok, I guess... (Hey, for $14.00, wha'd'ya expect?) It sits a little too high-up, though.

I would LOVE it if I could find a Milt Sparks IWB for my PA-63. I've got a Milt Sparks custom IWB with the Kydex clips for my 1911, and it's absolutely perfect. I suppose I need to call Milt Sparks and ask them if they can do one for a PA-63. I had heard that the PPK is a little smaller than the PA-63, so some of the low-tolerance form-fitting holsters for the PPK might not work for the PA-63. Maybe Milt Sparks will make me one?

Anyone else have any ideas?

Steve, A PA-63 is NOT a Makarov it is a PPK clone. It does chamber the 9x18 Makarov cartridge.
Samurai, Call Tony @ Sparks and I'm sure that he can take care of you.

I also just purchased a PA-63 which I will fine-tune and use for CCW. I was wondering what *type* of holster I should get, as I'm pretty new to concealed carry. I know I need a PPK type holster, but for what I normally wear, I'm not sure where/how to carry it or what type of holster I need. I usually wear a t-shirt and some sort of military-cut cargo pants, and a windbreaker or light field jacket when the temps finally go down. Can anyone give me some advice on what I actually need to get?

Well...god advice thus far. Makarovs or PM's are much bigger then the PA is.

Its not really a Walther clone persae...but close enough to use a PP holster.

The PPK/PPKS will be too short....they work for the PMK/SMC series made by FEG. I carry one on occasion.....

Contact Sparks and they do make some nice stuff...if you cant find anything for it..the the Walther PP leather will do nicely also.

Shoot well and god bless

PA-63 concealment holster

I know this is an OLD thread, but it seems the PA-63 is becoming more and more popular for concealed carry. I looked for a long time for a leather IWB holster before finally having one custom-made to meet my needs. Take a look at this work of art...hand-made by John Jackson at Jackson's Western Store in Asheville, NC. Because the PA-63 only holds 7 + 1, I had the extra mag holder included. It's a very comfortable wear and very quick to access when needed.
