Hello, I live in Indiana and am retired USN (26 yrs). I bought a CZ 82 in December and loved it. Found a P-64 at a gun show and couldn't pass it up. Now I am awaiting the arrival of my new to me P-83. Very happy to have found this site. I am looking forward to learning more about my little friend and what I can do to make it the best it can be.
Thanks,
Rick

Well, I can see you are addicted to the 9x18mm family. I also have a P-64 and a P-83 plus a 7.62x25mm Tokarev. The Polacks are both great shooters with the hammer spring changed to a 18 pounder in the P-64. My Tok was brought home from WW2 by my wifes father. It was made in 1939 is in excellent shape and with the powerful cartridge it is a super blast to shoot. Oh, my buddy and I are going to a gun show tomorrow, the show has 700 tables and the wife gave me permission to get her a pistol for home defense and wants to learn how to shoot. Life is good there is gonna be another gun in the house.

Yes, I love the P-64 but it does have some of the same problems I have been reading about. The double action pull is extreme and the single action is very touchy. I would like to reduce the double while increasing the single somewhat. Or at least leaving the single action as is. Is this possible and if so, how? Thanks.
