No, the crimp digs into the lead and keeps it pretty solid. You can see it in the picture a little.RobsTV wrote:Nice.
A quick look at Hodgdon shows you should be around 1600fps with that heavier round and Lil'Gun. Any noticable bullet creep?

Re: Time to upgrade the old 8" for more recoil
Here is mine, I got it back in 2004. I load custom cast hardened lead at 450 grain w/gas check, and 34 grains of Lil' Gun. I can't remember off hand how fast its flying, it was years ago that I checked. I have it all down in my reloading book. Its good for taking care of unwanted trees also. http://...

Re: Time to upgrade the old 8" for more recoil
Welcome to the BFG club, I have a few tips for you. First - if you don't reload, you should probably start. Second - no matter what you are doing with it (hunting, target, etc.) where ear plugs, you will never regret it. Other than that enjoy, its really fun to shoot. I've probably got about 400 rou...

Re: P-64 Extended Mag Release
Yup, I'm still making them. I'm a little slow at the moment, I've been on 50-60 hours weeks since the new year. Its cutting into my time to work on them, but I am get close to getting some finished.espania1958 wrote:Are you still offering the extended mag release?

Re: P-64 Extended Mag Release
These are neat. I will be passing this info on to my LGS. Are you to covered up with orders? I would love one of these. I have been keeping up with orders ok. I am working on getting a short run of them finished so I can just send them by order instead of making them per order. PM me if you are int...

Re: P-64 Extended Mag Release
Adding a hole in there would not be very difficult at all. I personally don't think its really needed, but if you want one I can do it. Looks really good. Ever try to extend the mag catch. Would be nice to use a 8 round Makarov mag, but there might be other issues with the mag shapes I have not trie...

Re: P-64 Extended Mag Release
I'm not really sure what you're talking about. Do you have a picture?Makarov- wrote:This is a great idea! What about making one with a hole in the end so that the keyfob trick that you can pull with standard Makarovs becomes an option? Just a thought.

Re: P-64 Extended Mag Release
I have not tested the cc situation. I'm from WI and cc just started to today actually, so it was not something I normally thought about. But I do carry it in a paddle holster when I'm hunting and working in my swamp and it hasn't been a problem. I know its a very different form of carry, but its all...

P-64 Extended Mag Release
Hello everyone, this is my first time posting to this site. I found it when I first bought my P-64 a few months ago. So I have been lurking a little before. But to the main subject. I fell in love with the P-64. Its a great little gun, but I didn't care much for the small hidden mag release. Its a l...
