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

Not quite sure if I understand a 'rebounding hammer'. When I use the decocker and then leave safety ON there is forward spring pressure when I advance the hammer with my thumb, and seems to stop and be blocked at its most forward position, then bounces back. When I take the safety OFF, there is even...

36 cents/rd plus shipping? What is going on here? Maybe I shouldn't have sold my XD-45 Tactical after all.

Re: Are we ever gonna get 9x18 ammo?

Is 28 cents a round cheap, plus shipping? I've just started with the cartridge and it seems the good old days of purported cost of 15 cents or 17 cents a round are gone.

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

When I decock the hammer in mine (1969 P-64) as if it were a revolver, while simultaneously letting off on the trigger a bit, and then let the hammer come to rest before releasing the rest of the trigger, and then let trigger fully and slowly release, I too hear and also feel those two clicks. The h...

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

Would appreciate it if people would chime in and, after clearing the weapon and making it safe, dry-fire it- and after doing so let me know if hammer goes forward against spring pressure. Mine does (about 1/8", and then 'bounces' back), and then the very slightest back pressure on the spur lock...

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

I will look into those. What model/grip design do you have?

Re: Official Polish Military P-64 Field Manual rev. 1985

I'll have to brush up on my Polish!

The diagrams, though, are helpful!

Thanks.

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

Sorry, but I can not answer your question. Normally I would take off the grips but I have a Hogue Handall Jr. installed over them and that was a bit of a process in itself. Rather not have to remove that Hogue sleeve and do the hot water /Windex routine all over again and risk splitting the rubber o...

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

Immediately upon pulling the trigger, and I mean immediately, I hear the 'click' of the tooth arrester, same when I cock the hammer back with my thumb. The slightest back pressure activates it. I guess it would be the equivalent of half-cock but it's too close to the firing mechanism. In any event, ...

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

Okay, dfunk, thanks for taking the time. What I have gleaned from your comments and others has led me to conclude as follows...please let me know if anyone is in disagreement with the following: 1. The gun has a manual decocking/safety lever; 2. When left down the safety is ON and active; 3. When th...

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

I believe with the safety on the firing pin is trapped, so dropping on muzzle should not cause an unwanted ignition. Thanks for your comment, manic. (My questions or comments should be understood with the assumption that parts of a given firearm are in good working order.) So, 'manic-man'- would it...

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

If by 'trigger bar block' you're referring to the fact that the safety keeps the disconnector in the down position, then I guess it does have this. I've not heard of it specifically referenced that way in the past. ... When the safety is activated, the firing pin lug is captured by the barrel of th...

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

In my original post of January 20, 2014 I correctly stated the manual lists some of the safeties which include a trigger bar block and firing pin block. If I elsewhere stated transfer bar block I apologize for that error. As to your question re springs- I just bought my P-64 a few weeks ago in a pri...

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

Curly-

Agree, a reasonable suggestion but would be a PITA to learn especially on this firearm with its 'stout' recoil. :(
