I would like any of you guy's who have both a p-64 and a pa-63 and actually conceal carry them interchangeably to give me some feedback on how the weight and difference of carry is.
I carry my p-64 everyday in a dick funk holster with a spare mag carrier but am also looking to purchase a pa-63 for day's when I have a video shoot and wanna cut some weight.
I love the p-64 but it is heavy when I haul my video equipment...hell it's heavy when I don't!!!
I have a pretty heavy leather jacket and an inside pocket where i keep my PA63 ,when i carry it i notice the jacket gets lopp sided and is quite annoying sometimes ,the gun will pull down the coat on one side. The gun to me and who have handeled says its not that light of gun it has some weight to it even empty.
Both are about the same. A website says 21.9oz for the P64 and 21oz for a PA63. That is both unloaded. I don't know what they weigh loaded. One website stated the PA63 was 26oz. So, that's really not much difference, so if you want to be technical, the PA63 is the lightest but not by much.

so it looks like I may just get cz-82 instead...I like them best anyway.
pa-63 is DEFINITELY easier to carry than a cz-82. it gets a tad iffy when comparing the pa-63 to the makarov and p64 for carry, as the sizes are similar and the weight differences aren't huge.
but the cz-82 is wider than the pa-63 and noticeably heavier. i own both. the pa-63 is easier to hide under a t-shirt.
I'm considering purchasing a P64 for concealed carry. I currently use a cz70, and I would like something with a bit more power. However, my cz70 is the perfect size and weight for me. I especially like the flatness of the cz70.
