I noticed that everyone except J&G Sales appears to be out of P-64 pistols. So I bought a few more as the current supply appears to be running out.
This should last for a while I think. I put on a couple Marschal grips and have some Zee's grips to put on yet after I clean a few more. Still, not sure how long the supply will last. I noticed that the supply of CZ-82 have thinned out and Makarovs have almost dried up except for a small batch of Bulgarians at SOG. The PA-63 are hit and miss lately.

One of the bug out bags with some of the CZ-82 and Makarovs.
Blackblade, super nice selection of P-64s, CZ-82s and CZ 52s also. Man you wanna adopt me? As a former FFL dealer my wife is glad that I gave it up due to all the costs. ::) home security issues, etc.
I told her now that I am retired, it is time to relax. Go to the range shoot the P-64s and hang out. Glad to see one of us is getting what he wants.
Very impressive collection. I had forgotten about the P64s and other eastern bloc collectibles for a while. If the supply is drying up, I guess I better make up my mind if I want more before its too late.
I've been researching an appropriate sized carry pistol that still had decent punch and decided that purchasing a P64 was the way to go. I noticed that only J&G still had them for a decent price. I noticed too that many of the eastern block pistols were starting to become scarce, like when I see Nagant revolvers going for over $150 on Gun Broker. Whats with that?
I'm glad I got my first P64 day before yesterday! You P64 owners sure have my respect! I just shot mine this morning for the first time. It's not for the "faint of heart"!
Johnzola, welcome to the party pal. The P-64 does take a little getting used to. To break in my 1970 P-64, I invited 8-10 friends to try it out on a friends range.
After all the adults tried it, one of my friends young sons asked his Dad if he could shoot it. Well he did really well as he has small hands, so no slide bite. He was all smiles when he finished 12 rounds of 9mm makarov ammunition. Did quite well at 25 meters too, mostly in the 8-9 ring. He did say that it kicked a little. Sgt P.
