PM63 development was assumed and completed by the state-operated ?ucznik Arms Factory in the city of Radom, where it was produced until 1974. After close examination, the PM-63 was accepted into service with the Polish Army and police in 1965 as the 9 mm pistolet maszynowy wz. 1963 ("9 mm submachine gun model 1963"). The pm wz.63 on the other hand is akin to a machine pistol and produced using traditional manufacturing techniques. Due to the machining operations involved the pm wz.63 was a relatively expensive piece to produce.Model: PM63-C Type: semi-auto sporting pistol Weight: 1.6 kg (3.5 lb) empty / 1.9 kg (4.2 lb) loaded with 15-rd magazine / 2.52 kg (5.5 lb) with 25-rd magazine Overall length: 333 mm (13.1 in) stock collapsed Barrel length: 152 mm (6.0 in) Cartridge: 9x18mm Makarov Action: Closed bolt, semi-auto Muzzle velocity: 320 m/s (1,050 ft/s) Effective range: 75 m Maximum range: 150 m Feed system: 15 or 25-round box magazine Sights: Flip rear sight 75-150, front blade
