Howdy all,
Been lurking around this site on and off for the last few months, checking on what everybody has to say about these cool little pistols. I owned a PA-63 for quite awhile and liked it very much. But I thought the P-64 would be too small to handle recoil well so I did not buy one 4 years ago when I had the chance at $115.00. (dumb!) but I finally bought one 2 months ago and I love it! I have replaced the trigger spring with a 17lb unit (no problem with mags falling out), the recoil spring with a 20lb (22lb on the way) and a new firing pin spring as recommended. Got 2 extra mags from SOG (17.95 each right now) and am going to be replacing the front sight with a fiber optic shotgun bead front sight and reshaping the rear sight blade to match the rear sight channel, an idea I picked up from another owner on this site. The feed ramp has been polished and it eats everything. I have carried this almost every day since I bought it. use an Uncle Mikes IWB #1 and it works really great. Should be easy to conceal even when it gets hotter than blazes here in Wyoming! And I will be ordering Marshchall grips soon. I really appreciate this site and you guys. As soon as I figure out how to use Photo Bucket I will post before and after pics.
