New guy with a new (to me) P64.
New guy with a new (to me) P64.
Hello all.
I've decided to stop lurking around and sign up now that I finally own a P64.
Ordered one from SOG last week with a holster, cleaning tool/rod, and one magazine. Added handpick and an extra magazine.
I received the package yesterday and was pleasantly surprised when I opened it. The pistol has a date of 1974 and the finish is great and the bore looks brand new.
I cleaned it up today and took it outside and put a few rounds through. Wow! Amazing accuracy and nowhere near the recoil I expected. My only complaint is I have no idea where the ejected brass went
Here is a quick photo. I'll try to take more pics this weekend with some better lighting.
Thanks!

Nice gun!
If you carry in Condition 3, you have two empty chambers. One in the weapon...the other between your ears.
Re: New guy with a new (to me) P64.
Looking good, look in the next county for your empties.

Maelstrom , I've never seen a piece of brass that was fired from mine. May have to go into the closet and..... No thats not a good idea.

LOL! Come to think of it, I've never seen a single piece of brass either.old mike wrote:Maelstrom , I've never seen a piece of brass that was fired from mine. May have to go into the closet and..... No thats not a good idea.

I am very pleased with the condition. I think I may order a Romanian Tokarev from them this week.
Tomorrow I'm going to go buy 500 rds of 9x18 for the P64 and give it a work out (maybe put about 100 through it). Might pick up a spring kit too but it functions just fine as is.
I was hoping to save the brass since I reload but since it ejects them overseas I may be out of luck.
Everyone at the office went crazy over it and now they all want one. These are addictive little pistols. I wouldn't mind having a couple more.

Welcome!. I recently bought one, but not as nice as yours. Mine is at CCR getting a face-lift.
I am not sure why I am fascinated with this little handgun, but I am.

Re: New guy with a new (to me) P64.
I'm in love with it too.
The fact that it is a small pistol that doesn't have a polymer frame like all the new stuff is a big plus. I love the ergonomics and it is very comfortable to grip. It has nice clean lines and is easy on the eyes (and wallet). Most small pistols I have owned/fired have a greater amount of recoil and have a bit of a sting whereas this one is a pleasure to shoot.

Picked up some more food for the P64.
