P-64 On the Way

I have my first P-64 enroute. It was made in 1977. I am getting ready to order my springs and Dennis grips.

I paid $165 for it with 2 mags.

Y'all are a bad influence................

Excellent! You got yours from the same place I got my last one, MCS. I like the way they do things. Since yours is a '77, unless you plan to fire DA, I think the SA trigger pull is acceptable. I did replace the recoil spring in a '73. Dennis's grips really improve the looks of the P-64.

Bob,

Congratulations on your first P-64, and thanks for the great pic's, I see you are getting the original grips, for me that is a plus, you are going to really like your new pistol, but be careful, they grow in the dark. I know of a great many here that have had two, and several with three, and some even with four & five or more, I did have five at one time, gave one to son in law, sold two, still have a '69 & '76, and I have two sets of Dennis grips too. All toll, I have [5] 9x18 pistols, [2] P-64's, [2] Makarov's and [1] CZ82, love em all for different reasons, they will have to pull em from my dead cold fingers.

Take care and lets know how it shoots when you get a chance.

Hey Bob was it used? I paid 250 for mine but it came with a holster and black molded carry case.

It appears that they are new, but I can't say for sure. Here is the description:

Excellent condition Polish P-64 in 9x18 Makarov. Bore is bright with good rifling. Comes with 2 mags. Very nice and compact. May have a few minor scratches/marring from storage.

I can't wait for it to get here........

Thanks,

Bob

Does anyone know what the barrel twist rate is on the P-64's??

I imagine yours has arrived. You're probably busy playing with it.

After your message, I decided to order another (they don't take up much space) from http://mcsfirearms.com/ and I picked it up today. It is another beauty and w/ two mags w/ matching #s. Life is good!

Congrats torpeau!

Mine is still enroute or my FFL hasn't let me know it is here yet.

Mine is still enroute or my FFL hasn't let me know it is here yet.

I ordered on Wednesday, tracked thru USPS and figured it could arrive today and, voila, it did.

I finally got time to go by my FFL's today and pick up the new P-64. It is better than anticipated.

Dennis grips are on the way. .

I can't wait to shoot it.............

Got my grips today.............

Even the short screw is a bit too long. I will either need to replace or cut it.

They look and fit great though.

Looks great!

Maybe a little washer or two would help. Also, I always find that the grip screw gets a little loose after firing a few rounds. A slightly protruding screw isn't a bother to me -- maybe it would if I were left-handed.
