Mak P64 question
Mak P64 question
Hi...Just read an old article written by Stephen A Camp about the Makarov P64 vs Bersa .380 pros & cons of each etc...Several times he mentioned there were "improved" sights available for the P64 that were compatible to the 3-dot, white dot sights of the Bersa .380. Does anyone know about any such sights and where they can be ordered from ?..My old 62 yrs old eyes aren't what they use to be. I love my Mak P64, its comfortable to carry concealed, shoots well and is easy to handle, but target acquisition with my eyes is getting harder and harder as time goes on. Appreciate any help ya'll might be able to give me. Thanks.

Not sure how you can do anything with the front sight, since it is integral to the slide. The rear, maybe, but why?
I find this gun points naturally, even if you aren't using the sights.

Re: Mak P64 question
Only thing I ever heard of involved milling the slide and putting on modern sights (Novaks, ims, I'll google and add if I find). Outside of that I have, personally, found that fluorescent model paint and/or fluorescent nail polish do amazing things for visibility.Irish51 wrote:Hi...Just read an old article written by Stephen A Camp about the Makarov P64 vs Bersa .380 pros & cons of each etc...Several times he mentioned there were "improved" sights available for the P64 that were compatible to the 3-dot, white dot sights of the Bersa .380.

Re: Mak P64 question
I think this is the reference:
http://www.makarov.com/slide/
Note that this is now just a reference only because they have ceased offering this service.
But if they did it, any competent and properly outfitted gunsmith can do it.

Thank you Kirk...I appreciate your time and effort. Very helpful and gives me a starting point.

If it was Stephen A Camp, then it was likely this: http://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/MakarovBersa.htm
Note that the comparison is with a Makarov, not a P64.
