The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

A question for everybody, I think the answers will be interesting... WHY? Specifically, why did you choose to own a P-64? What is its primary purpose? Concealed carry? Range toy? Why did you choose it- for whatever purpose you have it- over other options? What do YOU find to be the pros and cons of ...

I don't think any of the Wolff springs affect the mag release specifically... I mean it is attached to the hammer spring but I did not notice a difference when I changed out springs any function of the mag release. So there is no reason I can think it should be difficult aside from just getting used...

The hammer spring is totally irrelevant to the possibility of a discharge when the weapon is dropped.

For anybody interested, the leather is just a small project size piece sourced from Hobby Lobby for about $4.00.

No idea why I can't load photos from my phone. Keeps giving me an error message.

With all due respect to Russ and Polish Iron, I love what you do and that you are doing it... I'm just not a fan of rubber or rubberish grips. And in the case of the P-64, wood replacements are damn near half the price of the pistol, hard to talk myself into it. But still, OEM grips look cheap and l...
