Re: Looking to sell one of three...which one?

Hard choice, as I also have those three (along with a p83).
I say sell the PA63. The Bulgy has the most parts availability...and the
P64...welll...you CANT sell that gem !!

Re: vacuum sealed ammo

Do you out a pack of desiccant in before you seal?
This is the method I am familiar with in shipping moisture sensitive
electronic components.

Re: The latest addition....

Very Nice. The PA63 was my first 9x18 and is still one of my favorites. Mine was new (un-fired). After Wolf spring addition, the double action is great. Where did you buy it? I noticed that Fin Feather and Fur down in Ashland, OH were advertising them recently. I picked up mine 3 yrs ago at a local ...

Re: pa-63 threaded barrel or ported??????

Im curious as to the quality of designergrips.com p64 grips. Obviously you like them. Ive been looking at them myself. What is the seam like in the back? Do the two halves fit together well?

Re: P-64 trigger slap. <update>

Interesting to note, mine is a 1973 also...coincidence?

Normal 9x18 shooting session as follows:

Three magazines through the p-64 followed by two boxes through the Bulgy Mak!!!

Re: P-64 trigger slap.

When I first started shooting my P-64, I was prepared for the sharp recoil and pain to the web of my thumb since I had read all the comments. I find, however, that my trigger finger gets much more abuse than any other part of my hand. After shooting about 3 magazines worth, I need a break. I think i...

Re: Been Hemming and Hawing and Almost

I think you will find the p83 is a real sleeper. It may be the "ugly duckling" of the 9x18s, but if it shoots anything like mine you will be very pleased. There is no comparison between the '64 and the '83 as far as shooting comfort. You can actually shoot a box or two of ammo at one range...

Re: P64 Grips

I have been to the web page, and the pictures look great. I would like to hear from anybody who has a pair of p64 grips from him and could give us some feedback !

Re: New Plasic Grip Question

If someone could get this going, they would have more orders than they could handle. The two piece grip with the seam in the back has been a pet peeve of mine since first becoming interested in the p64. The p83 has essentially the same issue, yet due to the larger size you don't notice it as much. I...

Re: P-64 as a firearm for SHTF/WROL/TEOTWAWKI/zombie apocaly

Guns break...old and new! A close family member regularly scoffs at my 9x18 collection but recently had his modern .40 self destruct. (not naming brands but it starts with T and ends with S). My brother recently had his new .22 stop working during the first 300 rounds. (not naming brands but it star...

Re: Score!

Sounds like a good price based on the few E.German Maks Ive seen at gunshows.
I saw one 2 weeks ago at the Medina show for, I think, $425.00.

Re: Duracoated P-83

Very Nice face lift. I'm tempted to do my p83. Did you do the grips? They look very clean.
