The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

1973

I noticed something about the operation of my P64 and want to know if it is supposed to operate this way. With no magazine in the gun, no round in the chamber, and safety on, if I rack the slide backward and then slowly guide the slide forward to close, the slide stops about 1/4" before closing...

They aren't C&R, otherwise i'd have one

http://www.southernohiogun.com you'll need to send in your C&R, or have your FFL send in their FFL, to see what they have, but they have them in stock. They don't seem to list the P64. Too bad. I think that Classic Arms in N.C. still sells them. nope, sold out http://www.classicfirearms.com/c-r...

I looked at all of the usual places...classic arms, aim suplrus, j&g sales, etc and everyone is out of stock for the P64. Has the supply for them dried up?

I get pretty tight groups with both my East German Makarovs and my P-64. I do a little bit better with the Makarovs but that is because I think they have slightly better sites than the P-64.

You have nothing to worry about. My P-64 was made in 1972, and I often carry my East German Makarov's as well which are about 10 years older than the P-64. Metal does not get weaker with age. On all of them, when I pull the trigger, they all go boom.

I carry with 1 in the chamber with the double action trigger engaged. even with the wolf springs its still quite a pull to get it to fire.

my academy sports carries it for $9.50 a box. classic arms online sells it pretty cheap as well.

Finally got the chance to take my P64 to the range this morning. The wolf springs give it a hair trigger :-o in single action, and double action firing was now do-able with one hand. I haven't made my mind up if I should conceal carry my east german makarov or the P-64, however. Both have things I l...

i got my p64 from classic arms 3 weeks ago. its a 1973 and was ready to shoot, no cosmoline on it. but it was missing the nut on the grips, but from the fixes section, i went to ace hardware and bought the 3mm x .50 pitch nut for 11 cents.

I purchased a Wolf Springs 22lb recoil spring and 17lb hammer spring. I got them installed without any problems. In the same bag with the recoil spring was another spring that is about the same length as the hammer spring, but has a slightly smaller diameter, the coils of it are thinner, and the spr...

Thanks, the cleaning tool was exactly what I was looking for!

I purchased a P-64 from classicarms.us recently. Somewhere between leaving a friend's house with it and getting home, I lost the disassembly tool that has the screwdriver tip on one end and the punch tip on the other. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement one, or is it really not needed whe...
