AimSurplus has 94-grain Silver Bear JHP

Can't wait to hear what kind of velocity that 95 gets, given the numbers on the silver bear 115...

What Ammo feeds / doesn't feed in your P64

My '74 has fed everything with zero problems of any kind. I have fired a couple boxes of S&B without the duds mentioned. Fiocchi is my FMJ of choice, though the Mesko is coming on strong. I have heard amout too many squibs with wolf on the Makarov forums, rounds that left the bullet in the bore....

9x18 Ammo sources

What is wrong with the packaging? I like the plastic box.

9x18 Ammo sources

I shot 25 rounds of Mesko through my P64 today, and I say it is good ammo. I also fired a mag of Fiocchi, and the Fiocchi seemed to have slightly greater recoil, but that may be an illusion.
In any case, it seemed pretty accurate--I had a pretty tight group at 25 yards.

MFS "+P" Chrony Data

Welcome North Bender--I have read your posts over on gunboards, where I am "jeff Barnes". Thanks for your chrony work.
I guess, based on your results, we can conclude that MFS ammo is not really "+P".

Just recieved my P-64

Make sure you put a couple drops of break-free or FP-10 on the safety barrel and work it a few time. Also lube the corresponding piece on the frame that actuates the hammer drop. Don't make a habit of using the hammer drop and allowing the hammer to snap. Work the hammer drop with your right thumb a...

MFS "+P" ammo?

Just wondering if any of you guys have tried this ammo? I saw it at the gun show last week for $11/box of 50.

9x18 Ammo sources

I use Silver Bear 115's for SD carry in both my CZ82 and P64. I have shot at least 50 rounds through each, with no issues whatsoever. Would I shoot hundreds and hundreds of this round? no. But I have shot enough of it to assure that it functions reliably, and will continue to shoot the occaisional m...

Need help!

Abwehr is right. I also bought an East German Makarov several years ago for about $150. After several years of shooting and carry, I sold it last year for $350.
I think the P64 could hit $300 after the supply dries up.

Sights???

One idea I had is the Ashley Outdoors Big Dot tritium sight. I know some law officers who use the Beretta Tomcat 32 have it mounted. It could be used to replace the P64 front sight. I bet you could open the rear notch to the full width of the slide rear sight "rails" and have a terrific co...

P-64, DAO modification

As some have had broken safety issues, I would be concerned that the hammer might be impacting the safety. I havnt changed my springs and wont. I am not a fan of double action only, it limits your potential accuracy. As you are concerned about "liability", what about a lawyer claiming your...

OFF TOPIC QUESTION Llama 9mm?

You may find some Llama info on 9mmlargo.com. There is a forum there for the llamas. It is kind of a strange site, though--you have to contact a moderator to register (if you want to post), and the posts are not organized by date. Some good info, though.

Defensive Ammo

Revolvers arn't foolproof either. I was with my pal at the range a couple years ago, and he was shooting his Ruger 6-inch security six, using factory new Federal ammo. The second round he fired in a full cylinder was a squib that pushed the bullet half into the forcing cone, half into the chamber mo...

Defensive Ammo

I refuse to buy "magic bullets" at exorbitant prices. I include in that description hornady at about $12/25 here in Cleveland. I will stick to $7/50 fmj's and silver bear--ammo that I can afford to shoot an get good with, as well as assure that it works reliably in my pistol.
