The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

I would really like to try the Hungarian MFS +p. A good friend of mine is a Major in their military. But cannot seem to find their ammo around here in FL. I would be very surprised if you did find any in a store. I have some MFS that I bought online, but I don't know from whom. One of the first pla...

One of my P-64s usually needs two pulls of the trigger on the first round of every magazine (authentic P-64 mags). The next five rounds fire normally, but pop in the next mag and the next mag and that first round usually has a problem. Barnaul & Silver Bear ammo. Anyone else ever notice this? I...

What kind of guys are these?

Sorry. This guy has never used a Maxi-Pad.

I'm with you guys. Whenever I shoot more than a few rounds I wind up with a blister on my middle finger where it sits just under the trigger guard. I like my P-64s. They're well made and quite accurate for short barrel pistols. But I view them more as curios than frequent shooters. I used to get a ...

I got one about 2 months ago, 3rd variant

I'm aware of two versions - different hammers, etc. Are you saying there is a third version?

While there are sites with good prices that aren't listed below, it is a very good place to check

I have fired a little of most of the major brands and, other than some being dirtier than others, I have had no problems. Stick with 95 grain stuff.

Here's more on those new KS mags. I don't ever remember having to break in magazines before, but these come with directions about putting 2 rounds in, firing them, putting 3 in, firing them, putting 4 in, firing them, putting in 5 and firing them. Any problems and you are supposed to repeat some ste...

The new magazines work okay for me, too. I need to eat some crow. Unlike a couple weeks ago when I used two of these aftermarket magazines for the first time, today they were a problem. They seemed thicker and more difficult to insert into the P-64 and I had several failures to feed. I had used one...

Yes, it is, but I've never fired my P-64s DA, so it's okay with me.

The new magazines work okay for me, too.

Darrell: You were told correctly. Do not load the weapon with safety on. You can damage the firing pin and/or the safety decocking mechanism. [ I have read the manual, but had forgotten about this. Thanks for the reminder. Generally, I never touch the safety on my P-64s. I let this standard stiff D...

Next week I'll be sure to bring two aftermarkets and see what happens. Never had any problem before. I took two factory mags and two brand new, never used, aftermarket mags to the range this morning. I didn't follow the break-in procedure, just loaded all four with six rounds each. Not one problem ...

When I grab magazines to take to the range, I never pay any attention to whether they are originals or aftermarkets. Next week I'll be sure to bring two aftermarkets and see what happens. Never had any problem before.

They have worked fine for me.
