Hi, I just recently joined the forum. I've been reading all I can about the P-64 and I found one in a gun shop. I bought it this morning and took it to the range. I am very pleased with the pistol in all aspects. I had some apprehension about the recoil but I found that it's reputation was worse than it's reality. The gun shop had already done the spring swap so the DA is pretty sweet. It is in great condition. I got the manual with it but only one matching clip. I may already have a line on a couple magazines for $20 each. I know that's on the high side but looks like they are drying up a bit.
The shop owner said he originally had 3 but had sold one. I put a deposit on mine on thursday and the last one sold friday.I sure am glad I did'nt wait to get it. It is a 1968 with matching numbers.

The add for the P-64 magazines says "no sales to the general public", that's me so how do I buy from them?

BRAND NEW P-64 MAGAZINES!

We have finally received our shipment of brand new Polish P-64 magazines. The weak link for the P-64 pistol is the magazine. The magazines were not designed to be in service for decades, and the magazines being sold with the pistols are all used and dated.

These magazines were manufactured by a company who makes parts for firearms made by Springfield Armory and various armed forces around the world. These are NOT some cheap commercial knock off, these magazines will last a lifetime!

I tried to set up an accont and they required a "company name" so I clicked on "conditions of use" and found this:

Welcome to the forum. I am sure that you have already found out that there are a bunch of great guys on this forum and an active moderator to help keep us mindful of the forum's purpose. The last mags I bought were from SOG for less than $10 each. Guys, does SOG still have these?

redfestiva,

And another BIG welcome to the Forum. I think you will like this group of guys! We have some very knowlegeable folks here that can certainly help if you have any problems. The P-64 is one of the best small pistols I have found. Yea, it has few "quirks" that need to be worked out like the spring, buy at least your dealer has that done for you.

Read the thread on ammo, the 93-95 grain bullet ammo is the best for this pistol and your hand, LOL

redfestiva · Post by **redfestiva** » December 31st, 2006, 9:26 am

I am going to stick to the 93-95 grain rounds. They seem to me like they have plenty of punch and I don't want to shorten the life of the pistol. Thanks everyone for the welcome. I'm sure I'll be spending plenty of time reading this forum.
I've read that some of the "brand new magazines" have had feeding problems. Has it been determined for sure if its an ammo problem or indeed the new manufactured magazines? A few of the guys on here said they preferred the factory originals for reliability. Is that the general opinion?

I think where still out on that because of size of bullets

redfestiva · Post by **redfestiva** » December 31st, 2006, 10:08 am

I like the holsters with the magazine holder but I have a question. Are the holsters for the P-64 and the one for the Makarov the same. In photos they look the same .Do I need one specifically for the P-64?

abwehr · Post by **abwehr** » December 31st, 2006, 10:15 am

redfestiva,

The Polish Holster is slightly smaller that the Makarov holster, but they will work. The P-64 will be a little looser than the correct holster. Matter of fact, my first P-64 was carried in an E. German Makarov holster until I got Polish Holsters. I am not sure who has original holsters, but check on e-bay, auction arms, or gunbroker; sometime they are there at decent prices. There is a fellow from Poland that has them on e-bay periodically and he is trustworthy to ship to you.
