Re: Questions from a new P-64 owner

Double Tap is right; if used in a self-defense situation I feel the hard double-action pull would not be noticed. I put the 17# Wolfe hammer spring in my P-64 and have no problems. To me changing the recoil spring is a waste of time. But, everyone is entitled to their own ideas.

Re: Which gun is the closest fit to a P-64?

I bought a Tagua or Tauga for Kahr KM40. The P64 fits well but is not snug. The trigger guard area is a little big.

Re: My first p64

Thanks for the welcome, guys. I am really impressed with the P64. I was looking for a small secondary carry gun while my Airweight Bodyguard was getting a trigger job. The P64 will make an excellent CCW gun. Lightening the D/A pull will help with that first shoot if needed. I am used to cocking the ...
