The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

I hardly consider my P64 a "range" gun. And, to be honest, I don't even find it all that much "fun" to shoot. What it is, to me, is a solid, reliable, dependable little pocket gun with enough "poop" to get the job done.

Am I the only one who carries a P64?

I gave it a field strip and soak in Hoppe's #9 last night, but I have not taken any steel wool to it yet. I'm a bit nervous that I'll end up stripping off what finish it has if I use steel wool. Might just have to take the plunge since the finish isnt in great shape in the first place. I don't thin...

I'm new to the P64, but I learned that a post 1972 pistol will work with any mag. A pre-1972 might have problems with later mags. The later mags have slightly longer feed lips, which can be ground/filed back to match the older mags. I did this with a late mag, and it seems to work fine in my 1969. ...

Thanks for the reply Hurryin' Hoosier. I have bid on a similar magazine on GB and hope to get it. I will keep searching for deals to pick up a few more. The info. I was reading on the main forum page stated "The team developed two different prototypes called CZAK (acronym of designer's last na...

To the OP - if you're interested in a good pocket holster, contact Robert Mika: www.frontiernet.net/~akim/

You really need to get out more often.

Try replacing the safety on a Baretta Tomcat some time.

Re holsters, it all depends. Do you plan to pocket carry? If so, I highly recommend Robert Mika: http://www.frontiernet.net/~akim/ . Great products and a great guy to deal with.

At the risk of saying "I told you so", I think that I might have been right. I fully intend to bring this to my wife's attention!

Seriously, I'm glad the problem has been rectified.

So, you're saying that you did go back to the OEM magazine release?

Excellent!
