The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

Took my P64 to the range today and after 10 rounds, the slide locked up and I can't move it at all. I removed the mag, ammo, grips but I can't move the slide. Any ideas?

take rubber mallet pull the trigger guard down the smack the back of the slide , you probably have the recoil spring in backwards or you have a week trigger guard spring

NORM

Thanks, Norm. I have to borrow a rubber hammer, but I put the spring in with the smaller end in first. The spring is a Wolff replacement.

It's still stuck open!! I tried WD40, rubber mallet, no luck. Any other suggestions Norm?

Tried the rubber mallet, I beat the P64 to death. Off to the gunsmith tomorrow.

Thanks for your offer, Norm!
I'm 30 minutes from you, but I took it to Shoot Straight in Tampa and they fixed it free.
Are you going to the Central Florida Arms Show this weekend? I'll be there Sunday.

Did the gunsmith tell you what caused it to lock up?

we will be there on Sat

I'm the good looking short one on the left next to me is anjdrifter, and the guy after that is papabear
if you would like we will be there by 10 am Saturday morning tell we get tried of spending anjdrifter's money

Something about the slide lock being stuck. I didn't make it to the show today, I'll be there tomorrow.

I think we need to start our own P-64 'Summer camp'. Instead of making leather key chains. Have Norm teach P-64 repairs and Dickfunk do the leather. I'd pay to go 'To go to Summer Camp' for that.

Long as a few brewski's are involved I could use some camping time as well.
