P-64 Range Time
Posted: December 19th, 2023, 8:36 pm
It has been too quiet in here for too long so I decided to break the silence.
Lately, I have been spending time on a G-43 clone build using a Polymer80 PF9SS frame. It has been giving me some difficulty when shooting. The gun is accurate, but has such a wall when I pull the trigger, that I cannot hold the muzzle up as it breaks. This pulls my shots very low.
To test whether my skills have suddenly diminished, I took the P-64 on the last range trip. The tiny sights and short radius are a good test for my eyes and checking my shooting mechanics.
After shooting terribly with the new build at 20 feet, I pulled out the P-64, ran a new target out to 30 feet and put 12 headshots into it. Ran it out to 25 yards, and plastered the chest with a nice group. Put 100 rounds through it and was feeling good about my skills when packing up. Was especially happy that I own several of these accurate little guns.
Some new parts coming for the new build that will hopefully improve the trigger without sacrificing reliability soon, so it will get another outing in the near future. I always take a second gun with me when testing so I will always be able to continue if tests do not go well. My P-64 shooter is a favorite and never disappoints.
I can't be the only one that still has love for the P-64.
