Re: Accuracy Issues?

I've never heard of cosmoline before. What is it? My guns are all cleaned thoroughly every time they are used and regularly even if they weren't fired.

Re: Accuracy Issues?

Of course single action is more accurate...sorry for not specifying this. The double action is so stiff that it's not something I ever use hardly. I don't see anything that just looks completely out of place with the crown...but doesn't mean that there's not something wrong with it either. Is it eve...

Re: Accuracy Issues?

I think another reason that the accuracy is so far off is that I think the bullets might be tumbling instead of flying straight. When I hit my 357 mag on the target the holes are nice and round...where as when my P64 hits...the holes look to be more torn...I might be off and that's just normal...but...

Re: Accuracy Issues?

Well according to the websites comments...the Fiocchi is a pretty decent round apparently for the gun. I might try Winchester if I decide to order ammo online. The brown and silver bear seem to me to be dirtier and cheaper quality rounds. This being said...question was never answered as how to re-ad...

Accuracy Issues?

I'm having some slight accuracy issues with my gun I believe. First off the gun usually groups all off to the right...and no it's not just my user error. I shoot lefty...friends have shot it (they shoot righty)...all shots hit right...so I need to adjust the rear sight I'm assuming. Are there any sp...

Wolff Spring Kits

I looked around in here and saw a couple of different references to the wolff spring kits...but nothing definite. I'm looking to replace the springs in my P64 as to have a lighter trigger and less recoil. I believe I need a hammer spring and recoil spring to do this...then I also saw something about...

Springs Used???

What is the advantage of replacing the firing pin spring? I didn't know the recoil spring came with a pin spring as well...does this have to be done? What is the difference of the two?

"Cocked and Locked" Mod

Just on the safe side...I wouldn't carry...or suggest carrying with the hammer pulled back already. It just seems to me as if you're asking for trouble. I almost like the slightly stiffer pull of the first round...gives me assurance that I'm pulling the trigger at what I want to pull it at.

keyholes from FMJ Brown Bear ammo

Is silver bear ammo a 94gr bullet? It looks like it is but I've never seen a 94gr 9X18. These have good results?

One mentioned a danger from tumbling bullet? Is this a danger to the shooter...or the person being shot? I've never come across anything like that before...I'm relatively new to the P64.

Springs Used???

Just wondering what experience anyone has had using the spring kits from wolff? I'm planning on installing them in my P64 but am unsure as to what combination of recoil and hammer springs I should use.

What combinations of springs are you using and what are the results??? Thanks!

Ammo Used?

I'm in the process of buying my first P64...but I was wondering what ammo everyone had been using. I'm planning on using the gun for an all around target plus self defense concealed weapon. I saw that the manual says that it shoots a 71gr FMJ...but I have never seen that ammo before. The lightest we...
