Luger Compact Parabellum

**Rainy** · 06-29-2021, 01:21 PM

I have a 9mm Luger that I am trying to price but I can't find it anywhere except on a site about deactivated handgun from the UK. It says Luger Compact Parabellum on one side and nothing on the other. Says it was made in Hungary. Please help!

This forum is about shooting handguns rather than collecting them, I think you will be better off at a place like TheHighRoad or any other general gun forum.

Having said that, if you want to try your luck here, maybe a few pictures would help?

9mm Luger Parabellum is the name of a cartridge, not the actual handgun itself. Unless it is an actual Luger? I have not heard of any compact version of the Luger nor of them being made in Hungary, but l dont know that much about Lugers.

Way out of my lane, but does "Compact Parabellum" mean the same thing as "9mm Kurz?" That would indicated it's chambered for .380/9x17/9mm Browning/9mm Kurz/etc. (all different names for the same cartridge)

Without a picture, I don't know if this the same pistol, but this search

My profile pic is the handgun.

Yes that is the one I have. So is Luger the brand of the gun or is Compact? Thx for y'all's help!

FEG P9R

It’s a Hungarian mash up of a Browning Hi-Power and a S&W DA action. Standard 9x19mm ammunition.

ETA: FEG is the manufacturer; Luger is likely a reference to the ammunition - 9x19mm is commonly referred to as 9mm Luger or 9mm Parabellum. The Compact marking designates use of a shorter barrel than the full size version of the same pistol.
