Thought I'd post one of my first post on this board and let you guys know I found a site that sells P-64 mags for $9.95 and the shipping is reasonable too.

I ordered 6 and stayed under the weight limit for the cheaper shipping cost to go FedEx and get shipping for $5.07..my total was $64.77,,,not bad if you ask me.

Forward Supply is the wholesale branch of Keep Shooting,
their retail store selling the same mags for $19.95 + shipping.
Those are mags made in Taiwan, I guess their fine for the P64.

I've bought a knockoff mag before for a 1903 Colt and ended up throwing it away.Those mags for the '03 Colt sell for $75 a piece,and the knockoffs were $29.
If these for the P-64 cycle then I'll be happy.I bought four P-64's speculating that they'll go up in a year or two.Then I'll dump a couple of them and throw in the knockoff mags.
I might even buy a couple more P-64's while they're still under $200.I do a lot of gun shows and always looking for tradeing material.
A gun with 2 mags always sell better then a gun with just one when you can't find any more mags,,,besides,,the holsters have a pocket for an extra mag,,so it makes sense to have two.

Got my 5 mags in today. The original one is on the left, new one on the right plus the 4 others still in the wrapper. Fast shipping from this place. Hopefully I'll get to the range this weekend and test them. I did load 6 rounds in the new one and ran them thru the gun manually and no problems.

Went to the range today and used 2 of the new mags. I put Silver Bear FMJ and HP thru 2 of the new mags. No problems at all.

So I'll give 2 thumbs up.

Hay Mattswabb,
Thanks for the review of the new mags, are they as rough as the ones that came with your pistole? I just posted a thread regarding the poor quality mags that came with my P-64 before I read your reply. Let us know what you think, inquiring minds want to know.................. G.R.

I don't understand your question, he showed pics that looked great and said they worked. What are you talking about, hard to load,ect?

Hey, guys!
I got some of the mags that you were talking about, at the price that you were talking about. They are a great deal. I tried them out today. They worked without flaw.

The two mags that came with my pistole are so stiff that they are actually hard to load, it's tough to get the last round in. They work just fine but they aren't as nice as what I'm used to from other European manufactures. I was just wondering if you felt that the new mags were an improvement over the factory issued magazines.................... G.R.
