As if you needed more proof of recoil (Or, "Knock on wood")

Not really a true "range report", just something that made me go "Huh, neat!" I was whiling away the time during a heavy downpour, shooting at some plates I've got setup off my back porch. Clearly, even with the #22 recoil spring, the durned thing manages to spit out spent casing...

Re: Polish Police to adopt Walther 99s

Here's hoping the Radom-manufactured guns will be licensed for export one day.

Re: Silver Bear not OK - Wolf WPA OK

That is odd. Usually its the steel-cased ammo that has the most problems, not expanding quickly enough to prevent debris from griming up the chamber. What about Brown Bear, had any issues with that?

You keep saying "I respect your decision", and yet you keep trying to convince all of us that it's the wrong decision.

Re: P-64 and pocket carry

You worry too much. Especially since the safety blocks the hammer from the pin, and it's not a free-floating pin. The hammer is rounded, so no snag. Don't keep anything in the pocket you carry your gun in.

Re: P-64 and pocket carry

@dmarbell Yeah, that pretty much looks like the one they sent me, except mine's brown. I would like to put a pin or other kind of reinforcement in it so it doesn't slide all the way in, as it's hard to draw otherwise. May also have to stitch a second leather "Square" to the side that faces...

Re: P-64 and pocket carry

I just received two Barsony holsters for my P-64: one leather pocket holster, and one nylon IWB right hand. Both work fine, and are pretty comfortable with this heavy little gun. I'm not sure about the nylon holster yet, but the leather pocket holster seems perfect to sew a little nub in the upper ...

Re: Slide won't lift for disassembly

Yup, the flat-end springs caused me none of the trouble that the unground springs did.

Re: You Guys Are Killing Me

Even so, it's still a good idea to get a pocket holster. Buddy 'o mine had a pocket revolver, and the front sight wore a hole in his pocket, to the point where it very nearly slid down his pant leg.

Re: You Guys Are Killing Me

I wear work dungarees most of the time, and my P-64 fits just fine in the front pocket. I'm a little conscious of the printing, but that's only because I know it's there. Haven't had anyone stop me and say "Is that a gun in your pocket...." and so on.

Re: Slide won't lift for disassembly

They're sending me a replacement spring with flat ends, I'll post again once it gets here and let you know if the ends made a difference.

Re: Slide won't lift for disassembly

Finally got a response from Wolff Gunsprings. "Thank you for your email and recent order. If you are referring to our recoil spring not being ground on the ends, that is true but not grinding the end of the spring does not change installation nor does it require additional tools to install the ...

Re: Slide won't lift for disassembly

Speaking of the mag release, as I said, I haven't had any problems with the mags disconnecting after the last shot, but they do pop out a lot easier when I press the release. So that's a thing.
