The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

Welcome to the forum Pulsar.

New P64 owner. Got very enamored with them and had to have one. I immediately ordered Lee 365-95-1R mold, dies and starline brass and have cast up a few hundred so far, all tumbled lubed with LLA. I have a custom push through sizer and M die expander plug being made but the 'as cast' bullets are doing just fine ahead of 3.3 grains of W231. Man is this thing a great shooter! Had to spread out a bigger tarp, further away, to keep from losing brass. I have never seen anything throw brass so far. Really quick and easy cleanup too. I don't mind the stiff double action pull and the single action pull is superb.

Welcome to the forum Jeff.

Thank you sir!

Hello

My name is Hutch. I am retired now and just chilling out doing what I want so to speak. I used be an avid hunter but I have came out of the fields.
Not like it was in the old days! I still enjoy the outdoors adventures. just pick up my P 64 looking to do some traget shooting. I will probably carry this as my concealed carry. Any thoughts. I want to use the Hornaday defense rounds.

Good to be here Glad I found this site!

Welcome to the forum Hutch.

Thanks Gary

Welcome to The Brotherhood Hutch.
1st suggestion is to swap out your springs. Even if you only replace with stock weights do it. Weak / bad springs seem to be a common malady for these old workhorses.
And Hornady is my reccomendation for carry.

Hello Ketchman,

Thanks for the reply. I have switched out the springs, 18 #trigger and 20# recoil. I plant shoot the Hornady ammo.

Hi Folks,
Just joined the site. There is clearly a wealth of information and expertise here! I stumbled onto the site last week while searching for information on a 1968 P-64 which I had purchased about a week earlier. I used many great tips to do a detailed cleaning of the pistol and remove the
Cosmoline. The pistol seemed unfired to me and in excellent condition. I took it to the range for the first time this past weekend and fired 1 1/2 boxes of Fiochhi. The pistol performed flawlessly and I was absolutely blown away by its accuracy! The trigger pull is very pleasant on SA (4.5#) but on DA it is challenging (varies between 18-20#). I ordered a new hammer spring from Wolff but may keep it orginal for the time being to see if more use will lower that DA weight.

Happy holidays to everyone!

Brno,
