Mahovsky's Metalife Finish

Has anyone had this "metalife" finish applied to a handgun? Would you recommend it for a pocket-carry pistol? Is it better than electroless nickel plating?

Correct Name

Okay, I know that my Makarov is a "Pistolet Makarova". But what is my P64? Is it a Radom P64? A CZAK P64? A P64 Radom CZAK? A Radom CZAK P64? A Radom P64 CZAK? I think I might just call it my "Solidarnosc Special"! :D

Re: magazine loader

An HKS 943 should work fine. They're on eBay all the time.

Refurbishing and Refinishing a P64

Re: Wolff Hammer Springs?

Get the combo pack of 18, 19, & 20 Lb, and try to see what you like best. It depends on the gun not all are the same. Some people have reported light primer strikes with the 17 and 18 Lb ones. Plus the lighter you go the more of a "Hair trigger" you will have in single action. I might...

Beretta Model 1934 vs Radom P-64

Which would be smaller (and, therefore, better suited for pocket-carry) - a Beretta Model 1934 or a Radom P-64? My little Beretta works with cargo pants and shorts, but is difficult with jeans or dress pants. Thanks.
