Congratulations! I am sure you will love this little pistol like most everyone else who has one does. Keep us posted if you get the P83 as well.

I believe these were most likely caused by by someone not being careful enough when installing the slide. If you look at the bottom of the slide in the middle you will see two sharp points near the breech face and I think one of these probably dinged the barrel during installation of the slide at so...

Well, I finally wrestled the beast back apart. I took the dremel tool to the ends of the coils on the springs and reassembled. No problems now. Assembles and disassembles with ease. Thank you all once more for the help!

Currently I am drilling my stitch holes with a cordless drill with a 1/16" bit. I will probably try punching the next ones.

My preferred hammer is a plastic dead-blow. You can get more force delivered to your tools but still do not mushroom the ends.

Sweet... looks like your first attempt was a little better than mine... I might have to make a trip to Tandy and get a nice piece of leather and have a second go at it since I am better informed now as to what i need to do to get good results... nice work.

I use this on mine. http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/search/searchresults/8067-00.aspx?feature=Product_2&kw=4+prong I actually have one of these... I just use it for marking stitches... I had no idea I could just punch on through... thanks! And thank you, Dfunk, for all the useful advice! It ...

Boy I would have to say for a first round it looks good! Nice job and congrats on just doing it!! Most pukes that would flame you would never attempt it anyways, so good on!

dfunk- I checked out your website... beautiful work... I doubt I will ever be ambitious enough ( or good enough ) to try to sell my work... but I would like to get to the point where I can make nice looking, functional pieces for my own use and enjoyment... I may take a few more stabs at making a ni...

I was bored the other day so I broke out some scrap leather and decided to try my hand at making a holster for my P64. Let me first say that working with leather is not really my cup of tea. So if you have any criticism for me, please keep it to yourself. Thanks. The holster design is based on a hol...

Thank you all for the replies! I guess it makes since that since it went together difficult it will be difficult to get apart. I guess I will have to pull a little harder and get it off... once it comes off I will take the dremel tool to it and flatten the coils on the ends... who would have thought...

Having a minor issue with my P64.... I will give you the full scoop so you guys don't think my problem is just operator error.... Bought my P64 in absolutely perfect condition... took it home, completely disassembled it (down to every last little piece), gave it a thorough cleaning and a light lubri...
