And I finally got to shoot it

I convinced my father (now 83) to bring a couple of his pistols out to my rifle club and shoot them. He brought his 1911 and his P38 and I of course brought my P64. We had a great time and I found out why folks love the 1911. He hasn’t fired a pistol in over 30 years. He was an MP in the Army back i...

Re: Finally picked it up!

Out of curiosity did you pick it up at the Gander Mountain in Spring TX? When I got mine 2 weeks ago they said they had two left with one on lay-away. Nope, Lansing MI. They were down to one when I put it on layway which is one of the reasons I did it. Probably just paranoia but I had sense they we...

Finally picked it up!

I finally picked up my first P64 from Gander Mountain. I made the last layaway payment, filed the necessary paperwork and brought it home. When the sales guy brought it out from the back room he said since this was their last one and there was a loose magazine floating around, he put it in the box f...

Re: New here

That’s kind of odd that they said they don’t carry "special uncommon rounds". When I bought my Nagant revolver from my local Gander Mountain a couple years ago they had several boxes of Fiocchi in 7.62 Nagant on the shelf, $49 per box but they had it. Since they sold their last Nagant they...

Re: Ammo mix up?

I hope they get the Makarov Glaser slugs back in stock some time. I like them. I did some informal ballistics testing on them and a couple different JHP rounds many years ago in 9x19. I fired them into a 5 lb. block of gray modeling clay inside a coffee can (to keep it from splattering all over) wit...

Re: Ammo mix up?

I know that the Soviets specifically designed the Makarov cartridge to be incompatible with Parabellum weapons, but it looks like they took this a step further. I was just comparing the cartridge diameters: 9x18 9x19 Bullet Diameter 9.22 9.01 Neck Diameter 9.91 9.65 Base Diameter 9.95 9.93 Rim Diame...

Ammo mix up?

I'm new to the forum; my first P64 is currently on layaway at my local Gander Mountain awaiting further discretionary funds.... In the meantime I was looking at available ammo on Cheaper Than Dirt when I came across this review: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/73134-5.html#Reviews I quote: Reviewer: ...
