The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

I hardly notice it. I prefer it to my Ruger .380 lcp. Then again the handgun I first learned on was a 1911. Honestly I think it it pretty tame,but to each his own.

I am about to bulk buy some 1,000 rounds of 9x18 ammo for my SHTF/R.M.E stash. Tula and Silver bear are almost exactly the same price,but which is better? I have heard Tula shoots dirtier but don't know if it is true.
Which has more power? Thanks.

Why not load every other round with fmj?

Well for me,I use fmj for my .380's as I don't think it has the power to make use of HPs,IMOHO. As the 9x18 is substantially more powerful than the .380,HP's are a viable option. I choose to use fmj's in my P64 because I am confident in my shooting ability to get center of mass shots,and opt for pen...

School me on the differences. I have fallen for my P64 and the 9x18 and was looking into getting PM and stumbled onto the the P83. I know that the P83 is the update/replacement to the P64. But what are the differences? Larger magazines? Other than the two sentences on wikiapedia I know nothing about...

Nice catch.Good condition and good deal with the extra mag too. I am not 100% sure about the bore jag,but I know that one side is a screw driver. I never use it though,I prefer the cleaning rod that came with my Nagant revolver. Out of curiosity did you pick it up at the Gander Mountain in Spring TX...

Got a possible surplus Makarov holster on the line for a trade and want to know how a P64 will fit in it? Anyone try?

I know,I have a Polish TT-33 on the way now and a 1934 91/30 and Type 53 Mosin Nagants on hand now. With over 6,000 rounds of 7.62x54r and 400 rounds or 7.62x25. I am currently trying to stock up on 9x18 and 40SW. Get the cheap ammo while you can,like 9x18 ten years ago,it WILL be gone.

I was wondering who here shoots surplus ammo in their pistol? Does not have to be a P64,but CZ82 or Makarov too. If you do how is accuracy and recoil compared to commercial plinking ammo,like Whitebox or Blazer? I am considering 9x18 for one of my two pistol calibres to stock up on,7.62x25 being the...

Well I was in town today,and stopped by Gander Mountain to buy some 12 gauge ammo and just had to stop by the gun rack...... Well I was wanting to get a ccw gun for my mom for a while. So we causally browse through,and she asks what I think is good and I tell her,so she tries out a SW mp shield,a SW...
