p-64 sights

one complaint of these pistols are the small sights that make quick target acquisition difficult. wearing tri-focals, i sure relate to that. i've had the pictured pistol for 6 or 8 years, and couldn't be happier with it. it is just as i recieved it from a gunbroker auction for $125.00. since it is a...

wolf ammo?

wolf ammo is ,as noted, dirty...filthy even. that being said, in the past 7 years i've put at least 7500 rounds of the steel cased through my makarov and p-64 without a problem. its a rare post when damage is reported. most complaints are about the residues. the use in other than commie block firear...

spring ID

Sights???

i don't know how this set-up came about, but it is the cats meow. this pistol points so well that you only put the B-B on target and you're there. easy to see, too. http://i19.tinypic.com/2aey1ax.jpg http://i16.tinypic.com/43ov9td.jpg http://i15.tinypic.com/2z3o2mr.jpg http://i18.tinypic.com/4i3ejqc...

P-64 Variations

norm the one with the shotgun sight is mine. it was an internet purchase, listed as new, unfired. i wondered what was going on when i realized it didn't have the horrendous trigger pull as reported by others. a check of the pull poundage showed D.A.@ 9.3# and S.A.@ 3.2#. all visual indications show ...

Is #5 the best deal yet?

;D it's not hard to know more than me about anything. i'll try to get some photo's that are better than the one i used off of the auction site. i didn't want to say much about the trigger pull until i had a chance to check it. the D.A. measured 9.3# and the S.A. 3.2#. so many people posted that thei...
