The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

My favorite repair action was "reset drawer." That meant a generally frustrated trooper had pulled a drawer of sensitive radio equipment out and slammed it back into the rack. Resulting in it magically working again - at least for a little while.

I worked on satcom/wide-band radio. We R2ed radio stuff too, and occasionally K-Balled another radio to do it.

Looked at those options before too. P3AT barrel walls are so thin shooting .380 scares me a bit. P-11 might be a good option to convert but I never took any action to do so. I was hoping to get a 9x18 Kevin barrel and a Baby Desert Eagle, but Magnum Research tells me they have modified the pistol en...

I dream of a Polymer framed, double stack Mak with a life time warrantee.

true, but the extremely low prices of the 9x18 pistols are basically subsidized by governments that no longer exist. i think a new production makarov made in the US would probably cost $400-$500.

If they made em, I'd buy one or two also.

Can't speak for the sellers but there are several listed on gunbroker, just did a search for p64 safety and got 8 or 9 results.

Nice video and welcome aboard.
Caution -- A few folks have broken FIring pins from dry firing.

Yep, but I've never lived or worked in Poland. I have in the UK and Germany. The lawman with a white hat and six guns blazing is a uniquely American thing. I think we as a culture place more value on a pistol that others do. I assume that is why foreign countries have issued P64's, Makarovs, PPKs, N...

In the US, we expect LE to shoot their pistols. Not the same in Europe, especially during the cold war. I was in the UK 2 years years ago and most Patrol Officers are still unarmed. They wear stab vest and carry night sticks. Armed security/LE carry MP5s. I think Europeans view / have viewed pistols...

I don't think the Poles planned for their Officers to ever use the pistol in anger. SImilar to the German's with their PP and PPKs.

I had a $1300 Kimber 1911 stolen out of my car while I was at court. Police recovered it 18 months later, in similar condition to when it was stolen. It was in the wasteband of a crack dealer's pants in Denver. I haven't carried a gun that cost more than $400 since. I love and trust my milsup pistol...

Here is the results posted for .380 acp at the stopping power forum. Not bad, I assume 9x18 would do a little better. 10% Ballistic Gelatin Tests for: Corbon .380 70 gr PowRBall Testing Platform: Keltec 3AT Barrier: Four Layers of Denim TEST RESULTS: Round # 1: Penetration: 12.50” Recovered Weight: ...

LOL, I carry/carried Powerball in all of my 9x18 guns and S&B FMJ in my spare mags. Functioned perfectly in my P64/P83 before I sold them. Clicked on this hoping to find some ballistic reports or gel test results. .380 version looked pretty good.

You'll be amazed by the M57. Low recoil flame throwing Zombie slayer.

Grip didn't make a difference. I went through several mags trying different grips and regardless of grip the mag dropped on the last round every time. Putting in a heavier hammer spring is the only thing that worked -- At least for mine.
