Re: New Member - Range Troubles with P64

Hey all. Thought I'd report in on my P64. I found a couple of things that are helping a lot. Most of this is basic pistol shooting and not at all related to the P64. A lot of you will probably be thinking, what a dummy, but maybe this will help someone else out. Here's what I've found. 1. Thumbs - I...

Re: My First P-64

Wow. I'd say thats more than nice shooting, thats pretty amazing in my book. I've written a few other posts about my accuracy troubles with my P64. I'm pretty sure its all me. Something about the size of the grip and the recoil has me doing some bad things. Can you tell me how you sight in for your ...

Re: New Member - Range Troubles with P64

Thanks, MakAttack. Really appreciate the advice. Yep, I already got a Houge sleeve on it and really like it. Between you and Bill (wlockridge) I've got a lot of good ideas on how to fix what ails me. I really think its a combination of the small grip and recoil thats got me wacked up here. So, will ...

Re: New Member - Range Troubles with P64

Hey Bill. Thanks so much for the reply. So I'm just wondering about the factory sighting on these. 50ft = 16.7 yards. I'm shooting at 7yrds at my range. Sounds like maybe I'm shooting high when using the sights then? I changed the springs to a new set of Wolf 18# hammer and 20# recoil. I'm really no...

New Member - Range Troubles with P64

Ok, so this is really embarrassing to admit. But I'm having a lot of trouble with accuracy on my "new" used P64 Radom. I've put 70 rounds through it. Yeah, the double pull is awful. The single pull not so much. I'm even ok with the recoil so far with the stock springs that came with the gu...

Re: 9x18 PPU, and Buffalo Bore 9x18 +P 95 gr JHP

Thanks all! Great info and nice to have the input to save me the time of reinventing the wheel. I should have my P64 in hand tomorrow. Can't wait to see this little beauty. I've also got a spring kit, Hogue rubber slip-on grip, and snap caps. Kind of going all in on this, so hope I like it. The ammo...

Re: 9x18 PPU, and Buffalo Bore 9x18 +P 95 gr JHP

Thanks so much, Norm. Great information! What an amazing digest of data for the 9x18 Makarov ammo. Just incredible. Relieved to know that the +P on the Buffalo Bore is still within normal pressures. Didn't want to loose any fingers.... Just curious, why don't you shoot any ammo over 95gr in your 9x1...

9x18 PPU, and Buffalo Bore 9x18 +P 95 gr JHP

Hey. Hoping I can get some opinions and feedback here on ammo. 1. I saw Cheaper Than Dirt has Buffalo Bore 9x18 +P 95gr JHP in stock. Is it safe to use in the P64? Ok for limited use? I've read some posts that go both ways. 2. I've been trying to find another brand/source for JHP to use on my P64. F...

Re: WELCOME THREAD AND MEM, INFO

Hi everyone. I just joined after perusing for a while. I had the fever for a Mak or P64 for a while and finally, finally just got one on order. Have been revisiting all the info on springs, DA pull, and grips. Great stuff here. I need some ammo feedback, will post on that subject area.

Thanks!
