In German service during World War II it was known as Pistole 37(u), pistole M 37 Kal. 7,65mm or P37. The "pistole M 37 Kal. 7,65mm" variant is the version produced for their German allies during World War II. The main difference between this and the other variants is that the "German" version had a manual safety (which the Hungarian issue did not have) and was marked "Pistole M 37 Kal. 7.65" and the FEG code "jhv" and date, along with the u"waffenamt" markings.Though it was produced under more strain due to the rate by which they wanted them produced, it was still a reliable pistol. 150 - 300,000 pistols where completed this way. Some partially finished post war models were also issued, and there was an attempt to produce the gun after the war, but without success.
