Re: Ammo

To add a bit to Norm's explanation, the springs also become very hard and stiff over time as well. I have a couple of P 64's and I noticed that the safety was very difficult to operate. It seem to me that the safety detent spring was really stiff. I polished the safety and detent pin then used a 191...

Re: Two styles of P-64 Magazines

As a reader and seldom commenter, the rudeness directed at Norm and other senor member Pappabear trying to help is just unconscionable and antagonistic. I will be more than willing to buy the questionable magazine just to stop the nonsense. PM me with your name and address and I will send you a chec...

bigmac S&B dose make Winchester 9 x 18 NORM I thought so, but just wasn't sure. Thanks for the info. For what it's worth, the only Russian stuff I shoot is Silver Bear and Brown Bear. It seems to be consistent and has not failed in the Maks. The prices of $9.00 for a box of 50 is just to tempti...

Re: New Member, New P-64--Ammo Advice

Well after burning up some MAK PM firing pins with Wolf 9x18 Ammo I have learned not to trust the Russians anymore. I think they are sweeping the floors to get cartridge loads these days myself. LOL. Just saying, especially when there is just so much other good stuff out there at reasonable prices f...

Re: Hello to All

Thank you. I have been reading for a while and noticed you are a Makarov lover as well. I have always shyed away from the Polish P 64 , but after acquiring one to take apart and tinker with it I am finding out what I was missing. They really are a nifty little pistol. I just got to get used to sprin...

Hello to All

Hello to all. I have been a Makarov collector for years and ran upon a Polish P64 recently and found this site searching for info on the pistol. There seems to be a large amount of good information here. The P 64 seems to be a nifty little pistol chambered in 9x18. It is smaller that my PM's but mor...
