This video showcases the Femaru 37M pistol, a historical semi-automatic firearm manufactured by Fémáru, Fegyver- és Gépgyár (FÉG). Keith Ford of Brownells Gun Tech presents this rare U.S. find, highlighting its design by Rudolf Frommer, the last gun he designed before his passing. The 37M served as the standard-issue sidearm for the Hungarian army between 1937 and 1944. The video details its chambering in .380 ACP (9mm Kurz), a unique barrel removal system for field stripping, and its robust construction. Production of approximately 180,000 units, including a .32 ACP variant for the German military during WWII, ceased in 1944. Keith's example is noted as an excellent condition "bring back" from an American G.I.
This video explores the WALAM 48, a Hungarian-produced pistol that served as a direct copy of the Walther Model PP. Originally developed by Fegyver- és Gépgyártó Részvénytársaság (FÉG) as the 48M police pistol for Hungary after WWII, it later found an export market. In 1957, a deal was struck with Egypt under General Nasser for a version of the 48M, named WALAM 48 (standing for 'WAlther- LÁMpagyár'), chambered in 9x17mm (.380 ACP). Although 10,000 were ordered, the contract was canceled before completion, leading to some pistols featuring an Egyptian crest and others with blank slides. The video also briefly mentions the Tokagypt TT33 copy.
