I have a p64 and p83 ,love them both. The problem is I take them out almost every week and put 50 rounds through each of them and i am worried that i will break them and not be able to shoot them anymore because of there age and parts not available or gunsmith to work on them . Any thoughts?

Inexpensive to buy, sturdy, and the parts are available. I EDC my P-64, and do not shoot it as much as my 2nd one.

First, I only have experience with the P64 but from refurbishing 9 of 'em, they are built like TANKS! All steel and other than spring breakage or damage caused by improper use/handling, I'd not give it a 2nd thought. All new springs run about $11 total from Wolff and the trigger return and slide lock springs can be purchased from forum member Norm Sutton who makes them and sells them for $6. Problem solved.

Actual parts available http://www.robertrtg.com/store/pc/P64-c202.htm and Gun Broker from Poland. I've done it a few times and the guy in Poland is a good dude, fair and accepts PayPal (as does Norm, btw).

Shoot and enjoy them both.

There are more parts available today then when they first started importing them.

They were built to last. Use it and enjoy the ride.
