The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

Camera AND web app development nerd here. I'm guessing the image rotation issue is due to the rotation flag in the EXIF data that is stored in the image. This flag indicates to any supported viewer whether the image should be rotated or not, and how much. Most cameras (and many phones) can be forced...

Yes, I'm more accurate with this pistol than any other I own (or have tried, for that matter). For instinctive shooting it's perfectly on-par with my other CCW (CZ-2075 BD). It's a good instinct gun. But if I want to walk the field and plink gophers, the P64 is my best choice (besides the rifle, of ...

Man, it took me 9 months to finally fix this. The friction pin began working its way out with regularity. Only took 3 or 4 rounds to slip out, almost to the point of ejecting, risking flinging trigger guard and spring into parts unknown. Spoke with a few local gunsmiths, and they weren't really able...

Update: For another few boxes of ammo I checked the pin and reset it if necessary between each shot (as it again started to work its way out slightly). After about 200 rounds now it now seems to be staying put completely. I can tell the pin is absorbing a good amount of impact from the slide (still ...

I bought a length of 10 gauge steel rod and chucked it in my mill, thinking I could use a sharpening stone on the base to effectively build a new pin. No dice. I need a lathe. But what I did do was take the friction pin (in the picture) and flare the outsides of it with a pair of punches, at robhic'...

So I took it to the range, and after only 2 magazines the friction pin I was trying started working its way out. Can anybody verify what the outside diameter of the trigger guard should be (mine is a '68 model)? My old broken pin is 0.1" or 2.54mm. The pin I was sent for replacement is 3mm OD. ...

The hammer block on the P64 is also reinforced on the back (opposite the hammer) side by the machining of the slide itself, so that even if the hammer strikes it hard enough to cause breakage, the hammer block should remain effective, at least long enough for you to discover the failure. I also take...

I had the same situation with the pin working its way out only a couple weeks before the actual breakage happened. It's possible the pin was weakened by this, though it was caught right away and re-inserted. The more I look at this the more I believe I received the wrong pin. There really is no way ...

So while firing at the range, the trigger guard pin broke. I was able to retrieve all pieces, including both pin halves. No big deal, I ordered a new pin from a seller on Gunbroker. The pin I received is in fact too big around. I figured there'd be a little interference in order to make it stay put,...
