It's Here, It's Here!
I've already started working on a set of walnut grips for it. I had a spare piece laying around and cut it into a black last night. I think it might be tricking with the way it fits. It's going to take a while I think to get it fitted right. Making grips is liable to be a major challenge. Denis, in...

Does anyone else's p-64....
How long for the callous to form on my trigger finger where the trigger guard digs in?Space wrote:Don't worry. In a month or two a large callous will form on the web of your hand. It will kinda look like the bottom of your foot.

Interesting site. It says that many Polish soldiers didn't like the P-64 and continued to use their older pistols. Maybe that's why there are so many mint P-64s in the US.I don't think we really know these people might know http://www.opisybroni.republika.pl/

Best Source for Makarov Ammo?
I thought maybe everyone could share what they use and where they buy it. I'm a big fan of bulk ammo. I use Wolf ammo in my .45 and my .223 rifle. Sure it's dirty and nasty and I have to clean it really well, but for just plain fun range plinking, it's the way to go. But now that I'm getting this P...

Brand new P-64 magazines?
I have read here that the original mags have a metal follower and some of the clones have a plastic one. Most have had little trouble with either but one poster mentioned some trouble he associated with the plastic follower....possibly. He never got back, that I saw, to confirm. The new ones I got ...

Brand new P-64 magazines?
I may not have put 100s of rounds thru them, but they have performed like the originals for me.blacktop wrote:I've seen that a couple of places have brand new P-64 magazines listed for sale. Has anyone bought any of these and given them a try?

another newb with ?s
I decided to email Dennis, and place the order once I hear back. He hasn't posted since early September, so I want to be sure he's still in business before ordering. I gather that this is a sideline for him. Sometimes life gets in the way. Hopefully I'll hear back from him soon! You can order strai...

Pawn shop score - mags
My '64 came with just the one mag in the gun and no spare... Does anyone have any feedback or purchased a mag from this site? http://www.keepshooting.com/firearmaccessories/magazines/polish_makarov_mag.htm Any reports on quality/reliability would be enormously appreciated!

Harsh recoil
Hi guys. :) I haven't had a day above 25 degrees to try my new P-64 yet, :'( so I speak as a newbie. Do we know why the P-64 has so much more recoil than a Makarov? I compared both guns and the P-64 is a little smaller and lighter, but is that all it takes to multiply the recoil? I have read horror...

Finally a member of the club - got me 2!
Well, I'm finally a member of the P-64 club, so to speak - I picked up my two P-64s from my FFL today. Got me a '69 and a '73 from MCS so I could have both types of hammers. When my wife asked me why I bought two I told her I got free shipping that way! As far as I can tell, they are like new. I'll...

Thinking about buying a P64.
I am also waiting for the day to get my first P64 and have been drooling over the J&G listing for a good long while, along with the gunbroker auctions. Glad I found this place. It seems that I have heard nothing but negative things about this gun. Also check out http://mcsfirearms.com/ . You ca...

This is amazing;)
It is small, uncomfortable in using, it has only 12 cartridges. And I could write and write about defects of this gun in day-to-day usage. What defects are you referring to? My trigger finger took a beating today firing my P-64s, but that's the price you pay for firing a small, fairly powerful pist...

I didn't know that Hercules was Polish?!
I agree 100%. I kind of like the idea of the heavy DA. I have only fired mine SA.papabear wrote:+1 with gunnyrabbit, I haven't found a need to change the springs, because I carry 6+1 with the safety off, the somewhat heavy DA for me acts as a safety, I treat it the same as a revolver.
