I replaced the original hammer spring with an 18 lb Wolff on my P64 and I have had the same experience that you have. The SA pull on the trigger is so light that I had a couple of unintended fires my first trip to the range with it. I bought the gun for an optional carry gun and will carry it with ...

It's the 2nd shot that is accidental, and going from a stiff da to light sa is part of the problem. You instinctively think the 2nd trigger pull will be the same, plus your finger is a little numb from the stiff da and sharp recoil. I would suggest practicing holding the trigger fully depressed unt...

Next time you take it to the range make a conscious effort to reset your trigger finger to the front of the trigger guard after every shot. This reduces the likelihood that you are accidentally firing a second shot with the hair trigger. If you are still getting a slam fire effect after that (when ...

Ok thank you, I will have to practice with it and be aware of the big transition from DA to SA.

(Curly 1) I don't think the hammer spring has been replaced. I doubt it as I bought it off a dealer who carries used, military surplus guns. I wonder how you could tell if it was? Is there a noticeable difference in the Wolf replacement spring versus the original?

Thanks Brno, yeah my single action pull is (now that I have checked it) extremely light, almost a hair trigger type pull. Pretty sensitive. It doesn't take much to squeeze a shot off now that you mention it. The double action pull isn't nowhere near as bad as a couple others I tried that I saw at th...

Hi everyone and Happy New Year! I got my very first P64 less than 2 months ago and really like it. Mine has the normal wear and has a 1971 year of manufacture. It came with the original leather holster, cleaning rod and an extra mag. Seeing that the 9mm Makarov pistols replaced the Tokarev pistols i...

Happy New Year everybody! May 2016 be a good year for everyone
And hopefully a good year for shooting and getting some cool stuff!
Like a good friend of mine always says, you can never have too many guns!

Thanks guys. Like I said it wasn't terrible or major, just some spots here and there. But overall it's still in pretty good shape. Maybe I'll post some pics of it in the next few days. I have seen worse ones for sale. But definitely a cool handgun!

I just got my first P64 a few weeks ago. I first noticed these pistols on You Tube and watched some of the videos and read some reviews. Being a fan of traditional style blued steel handguns and ones of European design in general, I was soon hooked! I also like its lines. That and the fact that I ha...

I can see why you picked yourself up another one! I got my first one recently, less than a month ago I'd say and I could definitely see myself getting another one. They're cool!
