Re: Royal Tiger

That is also where I got mine in early October. ($179.95 + shipping) It was supposed to have muzzle/holster wear. What I received was a pistol that never had a cartridge even chambered in it.(as far as I could tell anyway)

I was very pleased.

Re: Another way the P-64 can discharge w/o pulling the trigg

I'm with PeeWee102 on this.
My 1976 P64 will not strike the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled.

My P64

I bought my P64 off of Gunbroker a few days ago. I used the "buy now" option for $179.95 plus $16.00 shipping. They were advertised with holster wear but in excellent operating condition. What I recieved was a pistol that, as far as I can tell, has never had a round even chambered in it. A...

Trigger does not engage.

Here's my experience: Like yours, on occasion, double action would not engage. Just like the safety was on. After checking and looking and pushing etc. I found that the disconnector was a bit rough where it contacted the sear. I worked it up and down (a lot)with the slide off. Then cleaned and used ...

Range report after springs replacement

That's the interesting thing, I cannot perceive any reduction in the SA pull. It was already very light so I am glad about that also.

Range report after springs replacement

I installed the trigger and slide stop springs from Norm. I installed an 18# PPK hammer spring from Wolff. I followed the consensus here about not going too light on the hammer spring. I made these changes before even firing it. Well...... The double action pull is perfectly manageable now. I was fi...

TRIGGER RETURN SPRING

My springs from Norm came yesterday. I am waiting for Wolff to get the trigger springs to me so I can replace all of them at once. If buying my P64 meant nothing more than the oppotunity to interact with Norm Sutton it has been a great experience. A fine gentleman. A credit to all gun owners. Rodger

Trigger bar issues

O.K. After talking to Mr. Sutton (Great conversation this afternoon by the way!) I went home and studied ever thing with the slide and grips off. It would seem that the bar isn't actually moving to the right far enough to disengage from the sear. I pressed down on the disconnecter and found that it ...

Trigger bar issues

That is my thought, it looks as though the relief in the grip for the bar is much deeper than it needs to be. I was actually thinking of gluing a piece on to the grip panel itself.

Trigger bar issues

No, after reading the detailed instructions on how to get the trigger spring back in I decided not to go that route. I spent most of my effort disassembling the slide. Boy, there was a lot of gunk in the extractor spring channel. Don't even ask how I got the loaded chamber indicator back in. I'm not...

Trigger bar issues

The slide is on, the grips are on. I removed the grips to try and see what the culprit is. That's when I can see the bar shifting right occasionally

Trigger bar issues

Found my P64 at the local shop here in SE Ohio. Overall great condition. Internally looks new. Paid $179.00 and bought 2 extra mags for $10.00 a piece I have not fired it yet but while cleaning I come across an intermittent problem: When pulling the trigger double action, sometimes (fairly infrequen...
