The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

I know someone who is trying to pick one up but I can't find one in stock for less then 275 any where.

Try Wandering Traders in IL.

If they don't have them then I don't know who would. AIM did have some, but they are out.

I think Impact Guns has some. They want $220. I ordered one form them about a month ago and it was in good condition. They are nowhere to be found anywhere else so far.

Thanks for the info.

I have not looked for the P64 recently, but one of my friends wants one and I planned to look around soon. If they cannot be found I may recommend a Bersa Thunder. They are selling for 299 or less.

You may wish to consider a Firestorm .380 as well then. They're made in the same plant as the Bersa but imported through a different importer and have a few external differences. The Firestorm has the fingergrooves, different trigger guard and different sights which I understand gives you more holster options (believe they can fit in most PPK holsters). I'm not sure how local availability is in comparison, so you'd have to look into that.

I own neither but one of our ER nurses bought one to take her CPL class and that's where I learned about them and how they compare to the Thunder. One of the big hunting stores in the State where she bought it apparently sells a ton of them and most purchasers are pretty pleased with them.

P-64 supply appears to have dried up at this point. Who knows when that might change . . .

IMHO, those of us who really know firearms have made a run on P-64's. Within my collection of SIG, Baretta, Glock, Colt, RIA, Star Firestar, there is only one Polish P-64 9x18 Makarov. And with a WOLFF spring conversation it's now my daily OC/CC.

I'm just glad that I loaded up on them when they were $149 at J&G a while back and then loaded up on more right after they became C&R eligible. Now some online vendors are selling them at about $200 or more. I figure that they became instantly popular when they became C&R guns.

Thanks, that Firestorm sounds good. I did find a P64 and put some money down on it to hold. I will have my friend take a look at the three to decide. If she does not want the P64 I will just take it myself.

I just listed one on gunbroker with the wolff lighter trigger spring installed (by me) for a starting bid of $160. Just sayin'............

Better separate those, they look like they're breeding like rabbits!

(jealous)

Brock123, there are still two listed at the GunBroker auction site and at least one at the Auction Arms auction site. I just purchased one for $172.00 from a seller at the GunBroker site, I bought it to replace the one that I'm parting out at the Buy, Sell, Trade section here ate the forum.

gunneyrabbit, that was mine you bought. Nice pistol except for that little crack in the grip. I think you'll like it. Just remember, with the Wolff spring the SA triggerpull is now about 2 lbs and the DA triggerpull is about 10 lbs!!

Thanks again and enjoy it!!!

Tomovich, I thought it must be some one from the forum, just wasn't sure who, good to here from you and thanks again.

My pleasure!
