Shot for the first time

[rick9plus]

After a thorough cleaning and purchase of a pair of beautiful wattle grips from Dennis, I took my 1971 P-64 out for the first time this weekend to punch holes in a cardboard box.

I had a great experience. Firing was kind of "snappy", but the recoil and trigger-pull were not bad at all, and the pistol felt good in my hand.

From 15 feet and 25 feet I was able to keep most of my shots within 3 inches, with several magazines keeping 3-4 shots within a 1 1/2 inch circle.

I am a new shooter, and am really pleased with the handling and accuracy of the P-64. I am looking forward to getting out again soon.

Thanks for the info you guys have posted to the board. Your insight and experience is really helpful.

rick9plus,
Things will just get better as time goes on. But let me warn you to be very very careful, P-64's are addicting, if your not carefully you will own three, four or more of them. Be afraid, be very very afraid.

Thanks, Barnett3006.

I printed out the "official" targets and will have to see how well I do at 10 yards. I saw some of the earlier "shootout" photos and there is some good competition on this board.

Maybe after spending more time with my p-64 I will actually complete my C&R form and send it in. Could another P-64 be in my future? I also wouldn't mind having a CZ-82. I am deer hunting this season with a Mosin Nagant M44 and just purchased a Chinese SKS carbine, so mil-surps are definitely addictive.
