almost don't want to shoot it
I have a p64 and p83 ,love them both. The problem is I take them out almost every week and put 50 rounds through each of them and i am worried that i will break them and not be able to shoot them anymore because of there age and parts not available or gunsmith to work on them . Any thoughts?

Inexpensive to buy, sturdy, and the parts are available. I EDC my P-64, and do not shoot it as much as my 2nd one.

Re: almost don't want to shoot it
First, I only have experience with the P64 but from refurbishing 9 of 'em, they are built like TANKS! All steel and other than spring breakage or damage caused by improper use/handling, I'd not give it a 2nd thought. All new springs run about $11 total from Wolff and the trigger return and slide lock springs can be purchased from forum member Norm Sutton who makes them and sells them for $6. Problem solved.
Actual parts available http://www.robertrtg.com/store/pc/P64-c202.htm and Gun Broker from Poland. I've done it a few times and the guy in Poland is a good dude, fair and accepts PayPal (as does Norm, btw).

Shoot and enjoy them both.
There are more parts available today then when they first started importing them.
