Re: P-64 Light strike on Primer /Hammer Issues

Re: Have one now!

Congratulations! Best little pistol ever. Well constructed, durable and dependable, along with being very affordable. What more could a shooter ask. One of the best pistols I've carried in 40+ years.

Sholder Holster w/thumb break

Hiya! Anyone know where I can get a shoulder holster w/thumb break? I'm a long time CZ82 guy who has changed over to the P64. Can't beat this little pistol, it is great!
