Correct Name
Okay, I know that my Makarov is a "Pistolet Makarova". But what is my P64? Is it a Radom P64? A CZAK P64? A P64 Radom CZAK? A Radom CZAK P64? A Radom P64 CZAK? I think I might just call it my "Solidarnosc Special"!

Re: Correct Name
I don't know what you mean by "correct name"
The name that is on the official Polish Ministry of Defence issued manual is "9mm pistol wz. 1964" which translates to "9mm pistol pattern 1964", but most people in Poland call it the "P-64", "P-64 Czak" or just "Czak". Radom is the name of a large Polish city so nobody calls it a Radom pistol in Poland.
In my opinion any name that is precise enough to let people know what firearm you are talking about is a correct name.

By any name, it's a heck of a nice little gun. Thanks!
