Re: Ouch
Bit of slide bite, huh? I would wear gloves if you are going to do prolonged range work with it. Remember, these guns were not designed to be range guns but defensive guns. I get a bit of that from my FEG PA-63 but not from the P64's big brother, the P83, or my Bulgarian Makarov where the slides are a little higher than on the P64 or PA-63.

I did 125 rounds on mine once and the web of my hand looked like that from recoil.
Try the rubber polishiron grips sold by a board member here. And you can always try a stiffer recoil spring from Wolf.

Re: Ouch
When I first fired mine l had the same problem. Until I realized I was holding the grip to high. I found that if I tried to squeeze all my fingers on the grip it pushed my hand up high enough that the slide would bite every time. My solution was to grip lower with my pinky completely off the grip. I don't have gorilla paws but my hands are by no means small. I would imagine it could become quite the problem with someone with catchers mitt for hands . +1 on Polishiron grip's. A set of wolf hammer spring will also help with the da trigger pull and a new recoil spring will help with the recoil. But for some it will never be a pleasant all day long shooter. Personally I don't mind it at all. My typical range session consists of about 300 rounds through my 9 mm Ruger and Kel-Tec pf9 followed by about 400 rounds split between my p64 and my Makarov topped off with about 100 rounds through single action 22 revolver. Give or take a few rounds. Good thing I reload or I would've been broke a long time ago.
