The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

Have you had chance (or even wanted to...) take the safety out of the gun? I've done it mainly to free-up some stickiness and if you look at the assembly there are only TWO positions. A detent pin is spring-loaded to pop into a slot to retain the assembly in the 'FIRE' or 'SAFE' positions and that ...

The Barsony holster in my pics is hardy enough not to allow the trigger to get snagged on anything. I wouldn't care to carry the P-64 in my pocket without a holster. I know pocket carry has it's disadvantages, and I'll deal with them if I decide to carry that way. IWB carry doesn't solve the issue o...

Curly1, I agree that the gun is designed with a 2-position safety. For whatever reason, there is a halfway notch which disengages the trigger and raises the trigger block enough to prevent the hammer from hitting the firing pin. As a short, unscientific test, I am carrying my P-64 in Condition 1, wi...

Posted pics of Barsony PO49BL. Sorry about the pics, kind of hard to get without being outside. I might try again later. I believe the leather is stiff enough that a nib would take off the safety, IF the holster stays in the pocket. As hardy as these safeties are, you might rip a pocket trying to pu...

At the 9:58 mark in this video, this reviewer states that the safety on a P-64 has three positions. On my gun, which has a 1975 date stamp, the safety will stay in the half position. The hammer block seems to be engaged, which would keep the gun from firing. However, when I pull the hammer part way ...

I just received two Barsony holsters for my P-64: one leather pocket holster, and one nylon IWB right hand. Both work fine, and are pretty comfortable with this heavy little gun. I'm not sure about the nylon holster yet, but the leather pocket holster seems perfect to sew a little nub in the upper p...

So, I Googled "pocket holster p64" and got discussions about Negligent Discharge/Accidental Discharge. It turns out that the NDs were caused by folks trying to pocket carry, with a holster, with the safety not engaged. I studied the issue, and it seems to me that with the safety engaged, m...

Thanks for all the advice. I have 9mm snap caps, most likely 9 para. Are they ok in the P-64? I haven't used them, but tried one out in the chamber, and it went right in.

Do you use a drimmel for polishing?

Be gentle, as I am a P-64 newbie. And I know this has been hashed and rehashed. My DA trigger pull is hard, but seems to have a definite hard stop point just before it breaks. So, beyond the obvious spring replacement, I have these questions. (I have yet to shoot the gun, so I'm not ready to replace...

My name is Danny, and I just bought my first P-64. Based on the advice here, I just took off the slide and recoil spring, and the grips, and it's soaking in mineral spirits. My gun is supposedly new-old stock, never-issued 1975 model. The DA trigger pull is as heavy as a Polish housewife. It almost ...
