Re: As if you needed more proof of recoil (Or, "Knock on woo

I've never had ejected casings hit me, even tho I'm a lefty. I have had sparks decorate my forehead when shooting the PA63, however.

Re: You Guys Are Killing Me

I think the P64 works nicely as a pocket pistol. With the right holster to break up the print. When I carry it, if I have regular blue jeans, it is in my pocket. If I have shorts, I usually wear bermuda shorts with a cargo pocket. That's where the P64 goes.

Re: Range report 6-25-2015

My P64 was lonely and jealous yesterday. Didn't take her out. But I did take out my fn slp again and my new pa63. I replaced the breacher choke with an improved modified and it ran just fine. Choke must have something to do with providing back pressure to the gas piston is only thing I can guess. Th...

Source for PA63 magazines?

I have been thoroughly bitten by the 9x18 makarov bug. I now have a PA63 inbound. Now I need a couple extra mags. Anyone can give me a heads-up on a source, I'd surely appreciate it!

Range report 6-25-2015

Took four guns to my Indiana property yesterday incl my P64. I'll comment on the others, too, just for fun. -P64. Ammo: Wolf steelcase 94 gr FMJ. Was trying out the Wolf ammo and four new mags I got from SGAmmo for the first time. First mag was flawless. Second mag cycled all six rounds, then droppe...

Re: Widener's p83

Ok, I took the plunge and ordered one. I like that it comes with two mags, but I'd like to get two more. Anybody know where to find extras? I've got a couple extra P64 mags I could trade, if anyone's interested?

Re: P83 review and analysis

I am really starting to wonder why I haven't bought one of these yet. I really like the 9 x 18 round. Is this gun "better" than the P64?

Re: P-64 Springs -The strongest recoil reduction available?

Robert, all I can say is my problem was solved via: replacing the slide stop lever, the slide stop spring, and the magazine spring(s). Your bolt face may be too far gone to catch the slide stop properly after the last round. Not sure what it's really called, but I call it the "bolt face". ...

Re: No Loaded Chamber Indicator - Thoughts?

Messing with the internals on the P64 is kinda like doing open heart surgery on a live unanethesized octopus. I'f you're anything like me tho, I'm a perfectionist and would not be happy til I got it back together right. FYI, I used needle nose pliers to hold the firing pin, and a thin punch to push ...
