The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

It depends a bit on your interests. Your collection should be for your own satisfaction first, and potential reward only second. If your focus is on pistols/revolvers, let me make a few suggestions. You could do a lot worse than another P-64. The importation must end pretty soon as they run out, and...

So much depends on the grip of the snubby. I own a S&W 64, 2 inch, with an Uncle Mikes grip. I believe it is an old NYPD revolver. Even with the hottest stuff, it is comfortable to shoot. It is a k frame, so not a real small snubby. I find it more comfortable than the P-64.

hvacken,
J&G has Bulgarian Mak's for $230 until the end of May. It depends on your time frame. The CZ's should be around for a little while yet. It is hard to beat that deal on a Mak.

mattwestm,
Your method seems right to me. It seems that the double action pull is the real safety. The safety when cocked is too easy to accidentally knock off.

+1 on the revolver idea. J&G has plenty of S&W Model 10's, 64's in good condition at good prices. With +P ammo, you have a better defense load, and a revolver is easier to operate.

Let me just add my two cents. I own and shoot both. Both are very accurate. The PA-63 is a bit cheaper when bought at the right place and easier to conceal. The CZ-82 is definitely a solid gun, a bargain gun, and a gun with readily available parts. Once the importation dries up, both will be good in...

blackblade,
Thanks for the info. It is helpful.

blackblade, Did you buy these from J&G? I know that they have them. The last that I checked they were not rated as highly as I would think. The major problems seem to be feeding problems and a loose front sight that quickly works its way off. I take it that you have had no problem with the sight.

cubsfan,
Thanks for the info. These do look good.

cubsfan, Were you able to get more than one extra mag per gun from J&B? Their fliers in print seem to leave open that possibility but the website does not. I do like the improvement of the Polish mag, since the sharp edge at the bottom folds under. The Mak always has that edge to catch on someth...

blackblade,
Thanks for the info.

I own both as well. It really depends what you value most. There is not a lot of difference between them. When it comes to getting parts, the Mak wins hands down. However, if you want a carry pistol, the P-83 is lighter. However, mags are available for the Mak in quantity whereas the P-83 mags can o...

I have been looking at the Ruger SR9c. I take it that you like it. Do you know the going price? I have only seen prices for its big brothers.

Thanks, fellows, for the replies. These are new to me. I certainly wouldn't be the first to buy one.

Does anyone know where these pistols are made?
