should i buy a p64 from J&g sales or aim surplus

Post by xmic »

does anyone know who imported the batch of p64s that aim surplus or J&G sales currently have? I recently bought one from classic fire arms and it was imported by century arms and under their billboard of an import mark was a section of the slide where some one took a sander to the gun and completely removed the original finish until it was in the white then painted back over it, the paint came off very easily to expose the sanded surface( I can post pictures later if anyone wants to see them). so I sent that one back to classic and got my money back and I am going to try to order another one from either j&g or aims. and I was wondering which one yall think would be better or if either of them would have guns that wernt imported by century.

Better try J&G. I had painful P64 purchase from AIM. Had to get rid of the P64s and lost a significant portion of the original purchase price. The pics from J&G seem to be better than what I got. And they are at fair price.
How much did you pay for the return shipping?

Not sure if what AIM's got right now is still from the same lot, I got mine a few months ago, and I'm happy with what I got. I didn't pay extra for select, but I got a nicely finished one.

It was stamped P.W. Arms, Redmond, VA

I think I am going to try Aims I would like one imported by pw arms. if you go for the hand select you can call them and make a request on what you want so hopefully that will guaranty that I get one from pw

I too got a really rough one from Classic Arms sadly. It looked like they took a belt sander to it to remove a differnt import mark or maybe a police or armory mark? Mine they didn't even try to reblue or paint the spot it was just left in the white.

Talked to them thru emails and they arranged to hand pick me one that didn't have the issue. I was out return shipping but they threw in an extra magazine.. So all and all it worked out.

While I am happy now if I had to do it over I would probably go with AIM's as the photos people show of them they are really nice.

yeah iv seen a lot of p-64s with the same damage on gun broker. I would imagine they were taking off a different import mark. Yours was probably painted at one point but that paint comes off very easily. When I sent mine back to classic they made it seem like all the ones they have left all have that damage so I just got my money back. I'm hoping I will have better luck with aims.

No hand select or anything.
After a re-springing, very nice:

New member here. Both my Dad and I each got one from J&G over Christmas. Did hand select to request a round hammer model. Both were 1969 models and what I would consider mint condition. The blue on both is close to perfect.

Just picked up my p64 from my dealer. A little bit of wear on the edges but not bad at all.
I ordered it from J&G for 199.95 not hand selected. No crazy import marks either.

Same experience I had. 3 good guns without hand selecting. You might consider that option as they get to the end of their inventory. I got 2 1975s and 1- 1977 pistol from AIM plus fast shipping.
