No, I purchased all of the recoil springs from Wolff. The gun stovepipes with the 22lb and 18lb springs. Thinking back, I probably installed a 20lb spring years ago when I replaced the hammer spring to fix the lousy factory double action pull. I got the 22lb spring after I replaced the broken safety...

BTW, this whole problem started after having to change out my gun's safety lever/barrel. The barrel broke in half after being slammed repeatedly during the decock. I've heard that the factory messed up the heat treat of some of these safety lever/barrels. This is my suggestion: Sesing how hard it is...

I installed the Wolff 20lb recoil spring. With a fairly loose one handed hold, I fired 7 rounds without any stovepipes. I need to fire a few more mags, but seeing I couldn't get through a mag with that loose hold without a stovepipe, I think I solved my problem. Thanks to all for the suggestions. Mi...

Yes sir, I'm aware that the tight end goes at the bottom of the barrel next to the frame.

Thanks for the info thou.

The extactor channel was a bit dirty, but the extactor was not damaged. I cleaned and reassembled. I had a stovepipe with a onehanded hold after cleaning the extactor; though not loosly held. I then gripped the gun very tightly one handed and had no stovepipes. I've ordered the 20lb mid power recoil...

I think the next thing I'm going to try is to take the exractor out and clean that area up.

Ok, I oiled up, (not that it was bone dry) and got a stovepipe with a one handed grip. I next tried it with a convolsive two handed grip and got through all 7 rounds without a problem. I really like this gun for CCW and can imagine many situations were a one handed grip would be used in self defence...

It has malfunctioned with Brown Bear, and the latest was 94 grain Monarch FMJs.

BTW I just now tried it with a strong two hand grip, and I got a stovepipe on the 3rd round.

Maybe I need to try standard weight mag Springs. (Oops, all they offer is +5%)

My P-64 has the Wolff spring 17 lb hammer spring, standard power recoil spring, (had the extra power recoil spring), extra power magazine springs: This gun stovepipes once almost every mag with 3 different mags, with extra power and standard power recoil springs, and the firing pin spring that came ...

I've got several guns from Classic Firearms, and all have been fine until my last P-64. The batch was advertised as being Very Good to Excellent and I paid for a hand select too. When I got the pistol the slide was so caked in rust that a round would not chamber due to the extractor being encrusted ...
