The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

Gman, I guess I am showing my age with the phrase "the bomb" but I loved Puma's and I have not seen a pair anywhere in many years. And with getting a holster to fit it again depends on the manufacturer and how the holster is made, both dimensionally and the materials. Leather can be reshap...

Error correction. I am NOT willing to volunteer for. And I forgot to add that each round has a pretty violent trip out of the mag and up the ramp into the chamber which is how bullets get set back into cases. Chamber the same factory round by hand from the mag into the chamber a couple of times and ...

Because if you do NOT crimp and the bullet gets pushed too deeply into the case your chamber pressures could get high enough to seriously damage or blow apart your pistol while you are holding it, which is not something I am willing to volunteer for. Remember this is a blowback pistol not a locked b...

Gman, the two pistols are very close (key words) in size and dimensions, but they are NOT the same. That being said you may find that the P-64 fits in some and not in other holsters made for the PPK based on the manufacturers sizing just like Nike size 10's will be a hair different than Puma size 10...

It is funny how you find a great piece of wood hiding in a junk piece isn't it. And I know most people want Walnut but I prefer the odd / different kinds. I am waiting right now on a pair of grips to be made for a Star M45 Firestar right now from Bocote wood. Had never heard of it before but I saw t...

Thanking you sir in advance for your efforts. Looking forward to them.

Yes those grips are really nice! So is the rest of the job you have done. What kind of wood are they from?

Your right I miss spoke, again, sigh....... :roll: . Yes I am eagerly awaiting his findings because for some strange reason I don't have access to a trigger pounds scale device. And I carry mine quute a bit and do not want to get nailed on that kind of technicality should I have a serious social enc...

Marty, did you ever test the SA pull with the #18 and #19 springs in it? Inquiring minds want to know.

Bikernut,

I figured getting away from the PPU ammo would fix things up. Glad it did.

Marty thanks for the follow up man. I may have to rethink the 17# hammer spring I currently have. But I will wait until you test the 19# & 20# springs you have. Look forward to thaf information.

Possibly snailman but unlikely. That round is steel cased, my bet is it is russian manufacture and to military specs I bet as well. And military ammo has a reputation for hard primers. If it was of Western manufacture ie; brass cased and boxer primed then I would say there is a better chance of that...

Well there's your problem, it's bent! LOL!! :lol: Sorry everyone for what was possibly some misguided humor but that's the way my brain works see. Anyway, too bad this happened. I wonder what would bend it like that. Is your firing pin channel clear, no obstructions? All I can think is something got...

diearlyn also check the mag feed lips, see if they have been bent in any way. And does it happen with ALL the mags you have or just one? It sounds as if the round is being held too low so when it tries to enter the ramp it hits and bounces upward instead of sliding up the ramp and then the nose of t...

This is an excellent topic, trigger pull weights. I have a 17lb hammer spring in mine and like it very much. I was very careful to try and feel a difference in pull weight in SA after replacing the original hammer spring because the stock pull weight was so light, especially for a military design an...
