Just pulled the trigger and bought a P-64 from J&G. I have a Polish Tokarev and this will make a nice CCW addition to the family. Looking forward to shooting it.

Welcome from SW Fl. I liked P-64 so much, I bought one for my brother to use as a back up gun. My son in law is getting one for Christmas. Of course I had to check to make sure it worked before he got it. ;)

I love it here too. Have no desire to go back to Michigan. Dont think I would want to live where I can't see all the way 'till tomorrow. Where did you live. I am in Wright.

Have never been in that area Craig, but if it's like anywhere else in this state I bet it's pretty. Merry Christmas to everybody from Wyoming. We are having a White Christmas here.

Well, it came in yesterday. I opted to not pay the extra for the hand select. I don't have any pictures yet, but it looks brand new! I took to the slide off, planning to clean the bore but it looks like a mirror (with rifling) in there. I wonder if it's ever been shot. Not a scratch or flaw on the outside either. I will try to get some pictures over the holiday. No complaints.

I bought some Winchester FMJ rounds at the FFL. They were $28 for 50 rounds! Yikes! I need to look online for some brown or silver bear. I think that will be cheaper.

I walked around with it in my front pocket (normal blue jeans). It felt great and not printing that i could see. If I had a pocket holster it would probably be even more discreet.

I can't see why everyone is complaining about the DA trigger pull. I can pull it without any trouble. It is a 1970 model. I don't know if that would have any effect. I have to get it to the range. :-)

My local gunstore was also charging $28 for 9x18 mak, aluminum case blazer....

Mine is also a 1970 but not as nice as that!

I do agree that the DA trigger pull is not bad, maybe its bad for those with arthritis or weak fingers but as a 22 year old male I had no problem.

I hope mine shoots better than it looks, good luck with yours!
