The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

You're no wimp. 100 rnds thru your P-64 is pretty daunting -- I don't care who you are. Bet your accuracy suffered as time went on... I haven't changed any springs yet because I can't FIND the slightly heavier recoil spring I bought (and out of the box the gun doesn't work in double-action so needs ...

Norm, et al; I sorta see why my gun's double action doesn't seem to engage when loaded at ALL... I couldn't figure out/see what being LOADED had to do with anything and then looked especially closely at the slide in battery again. Not surprisingly, the slide sits back on the frame a fraction of an i...

Norm; Thanks. I appreciate resourceful people and products. I may take you up on that depending on the outcome of a little shooting and when I change out the hammer spring and IF I can find my damned replacement RECOIL spring -- I KNOW I bought one MONTHS before I was able to pick up the gun! On a s...

Norm; Thanks for all the great data and info. I soaked the gun to no avail. I do note that the disconnector really leaves little room for the trigger bar to re-engage so it MAY be that the trigger bar is not quite rising enough to engage the sear ( I suppose it is) once the safety is disengaged. The...

Norm; "...one the tub"? Not sure if that means dropping one into the chamber and then inserting a full mag, but no. I load from a mag and then remove and top off the mag again. I can't remember the last time I mighta fed the chamber of any but a shotgun and some big military rifles, well, ...

I noticed how much extra room there was in the 5 P-64 mags I now own (though it doesn't work in double action, yet) and wondered about another round -- seemed like it was SO close getting one more in there! Now I know it won't handle it. Thanks for the destructive testing on all our behalves! On a s...

Norm;
Thanks. I literally just joined and must've seem deaconblues post while you were sending it to me -- lol. Thanks.

Seems there is a recurring issue with the P-64 here in this regard. What I still don't get is why this failure only when the gun is LOADED...

Holy smoke -- I just joined and posted the SAME EXACT PROBLEM out of the box in what appears to be an unfired gun. I will clean it. Maybe shave that bar if needed as well, but, don't want to and shouldn't have to. Why would it only happen when it is LOADED w/one in the chamber? No play on words inte...

Guys; So I picked up my P-64 last week... When I drop the hammer via moving the selector to "safe" the trigger disengages. OK ONLY when actually loaded, when I switch the safety back to fire it doesn't re-engage the trigger to operate double action. Works fine unloaded. Anyone have an idea...
