Re: Gun decocks upon racking the slide
The Wolff springs have given mine a 2.5 -3.0 pound trigger pull. I am well aware of how light it is and rarely carry it. I do enjoy shooting it, though!

Re: Gun decocks upon racking the slide
Sounds like initially you did not have the hammer spring strut installed correctly. I can't see how changing the spring would fix the problem but installing the assembly correctly surely would.
Glad you got it working.

Re: double action trigger weight.
Careful now. Some of us have built some pretty nice shooters in the basement with a file and a hand drill!

Re: Polish Iron V05 grips, road testing
One of the first things I did was install these grips. Fired 100 rounds on my first outing with my little beast and my hand was fine. Love these grips!

Re: Red Army Elite 9x18 Mak - Range Report
After all of the frustration I went a different range yesterday so I could shoot my SKS and while I was waiting for a rifle lane, I shot some pistols. This facility had backing boards made from cardboard and required you to staple a target to them. I had suspected maybe the free hanging target was t...

Re: Red Army Elite 9x18 Mak - Range Report
The muzzle has no damage and the crown is smooth. I have looked at the barrel from both ends using a magnifying glass. Everything looks new. I have only fired about 200 rounds through it. I still haven't determined if it will be more stable as it travels further down range. I will make another trip ...

Re: Red Army Elite 9x18 Mak - Range Report
Okay, so I have slugged the barrel on this P-64.
The barrel measures .356 inches across the lands and .365 across the grooves which should be well within specs.
I measured the slugs and the expended rounds and got the same measurements.
What am I missing?

Re: Red Army Elite 9x18 Mak - Range Report
It certainly appears to be an unstable round. When I fire my other pistols at the same target, the holes are round. The P-64 holes are not even close to being round. I am thinking that perhaps the smaller than normal bullet diameter is letting some gas escape so the rounds do not have enough force t...

Re: P-64 grips and spring changes
I reinstalled the stock recoil and firing pin springs in mine, too. I was having issues with rounds not being fully chambered so I would have to push the slide a bit sometimes before I could fire the gun. Stock springs took care of that issue!

Re: Red Army Elite 9x18 Mak - Range Report
Okay, here are my findings: The bullets pulled from the Red Army Elite ammunition measured .3632 inches on average. They are, in fact slightly smaller than the PRVI Partizan bullets which measured .364 inches on average. 9 x 18mm Mak bullets are supposed to be .365 inches. I am not sure if .002 inch...

Re: Red Army Elite 9x18 Mak - Range Report
I am going to be doing some more investigation on the ammo tomorrow. Going to my dad's to use his tools and equipment to pull some bullets from the Red Army Elite and PRVI Partizan to measure them. Both rounds keyhole from my P-64 at 25 feet. I will also be firing some rounds into a water barrel to ...

Re: Paint Scrape!
Seeing yours motivated me to repaint mine. Now it looks nice again.
