P64 RANGE REPORT

Found it is best to take at least one other pistol with you to the range. Shoot a magazine through the P64, than shoot something else and come back to it. Had no real hurt,and a lot more fun.

P64 RANGE REPORT

The Silver Bear was the most accurate (and cheapist) by far. Replaced the springs,as recommended at this forum. With 6 roun...

THREE POCKET COMPANIONS

Can shoot it without moon clips,some brands of ammo fall out others snug and need a pencil to push out. The moon clips are super easy to use,faster than any speed loader,and hold up very well in your pocket(and never inadvertantly dump the rounds). Own some 40 odd handguns,and if it ever came to own...
