The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

Installed the new firing pin spring and the 20 pound hammer spring today. Still using the stock recoil spring because for whatever reason, the 22 pound spring won't work. (The slide won't return, am I just not doing it right? I plan on sending it back in for another one at worst.)

100 rounds, 50 of which were steel case Russian surplus, and 50 Brown Bear FMJs, had a bit of a feeding problem which I'm confident is because I'm still trying to get a good grip down on this thing. (I carried a .32 S&W Long before this), and actually am having no problem controlling the recoil at this point, I can really assume the upgraded spring will only help it more.

Accurate little thing too, very pleasing results. Can't wait to paint the front sight to make it even easier to use.

All in all, aside from the couple of feed issues and the spring not installing right, I'm certain I made the right choice in buying this gun, thanks for pushing me into it, forum people.

The ends of the recoil spring may need to be ground flat or you can get binding.
I took mine to a bench grinder and flattened the ends that way. Went on with no problem and works fine.

Compare the recoil springs and you will see what I mean. The stock ones are flat at the end. The aftermarket are likely round. That is the problem.

Plus one with Foo Bird, many of us have had to do a little alteration to the Wolff Recoil Springs for proper function.

That did it gentlemen. Thank you much!
