J&G P-64's

From the pic it's obvious why you were so upset over the condition of the P64. It's good, though, to hear that J&G are working with you on it. I hope that the next one will be more in line with what everyone else has experienced.

new grips!

Wow, those grips really do look awesome! Nothing like the warmth of a natural wood grip or any natural wood accent to just about anything. Working in a knife shop I have access to a lot of different woods that we use for handle material. I wonder if it would be possible to get a set made up out of c...

Ammunition

Even though I've owned my P64 for a year and a half I'm still a relative newcomer to the family. I don't get to get out and shoot nearly as often as I'd like to. When I first bought the P64 I also picked up a box of ammo from my FFL dealer that someone had ordered in and never came to get. It was pr...

Unpleasant experience.

Redfestiva,

Good piece of advice plus a pretty cool pic, to boot. As an amateur photog as well as an avid shooter I really appreciate the "action" shot.

Polishing Feed Ramp & Chamber

Ok, I just finished polishing the feed ramp and man, that white compound from my work was awesome. Bright, mirror finish on the ramp. I didn't have any trouble with burning the wheel though I did use a very light touch with it and plenty of compound. Same technique we use when doing blades at work. ...

Astra A-100

Big54r,

Thanks for the info. From all I've read it the Astra line seems to be a fun and reliable handgun. I'm thinking I'm gonna start looking more seriously. I do appreciate the first hand report. Have fun shootin'.

Astra A-100

I've been doing some reading online about the Astra A-100 (the 80 & 90 as well) and have gotten the itch to check one out. I was wondering if anyone on the forum has had any experience with this pistol? Any personal impressions, etc. Just looking for some insight. I've hit a number of different ...

yes the gray or the white will work a lot better than red rouge, rouge works best with metals , like gold . silver . brass , copper

Norm,

Thanks. Awesome. I'll grab a piece of the white then and do her up tomorrow. I'm looking forward to playing with it.

**Handmade Magazine Carrier**

Hi fellas! I decided to use the name US Gunleather for all of my future creations. Also, I have just settled on a new pattern for single mag carriers for our beloved P64. The leather is premium 7-8oz hide. This pattern rides very close and doesn't require a super-stiff belt. The slots are cut to fi...

Holster for P64

dusty62, I have one of the Crossman holsters that came from Wally World, they are great little holster for OWB, and several of my handguns fit in it and I like the adjustable strap that holds all the different handguns in. I know of a few others here that have them also, my P-64's also fit in it ve...

Holster for P64

Dusty, first, welcome! If it works, I say go for it. As long as retention is good and it's safe around the trigger, I'd say you've got yourself a $6 keeper! -df dickfunk, I hear you there. Totally safe around the trigger with a strap across the hammer as well. The double velcro system securely atta...

I think that we are all aware that there are definately tough times a'comin'. Solidarity and safety/strength in numbers gives us a strong voice. Lets hope it's heard.

Want to weigh trigger pull? Here's how!

Tommy2, good plan there. I think that it would be rather simple to rig up a small sling using some cotton clothesline to run between the trigger and the hook on a fish scale. Wouldn't endanger the finish and the line should have more than plenty of strength to handle the test.
