The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

So went to the range today to shoot my p64 and cz75. Got home and found a crack in the slide under the barrel to the slide race! RIP

Yes that is a sad story, sorry for your loss.

AIM has more

picked one up up this afternoon fro gun shop down the road. a little pricey but never seen one this nice so i'll take it!

Good job

I luv happy endings!

on the subject the different hammers are interchangeable yes? the new one is older and has the smaller round hammer and is really hard for me to cock

Wow

TED

yup not even a small crack! that is all the way through the metal

out of curiosity, any ideas on what would have caused this? wear and fatigue?

If I had to guess, I'd say worn out springs. Or rounds loaded hotter than the springs could handle. Or maybe just bad metal with this one.

Hope you save it for parts. That safety that you have on there is extremely hard to find. You may even be able to find a replacement slide for it as they do come up on the online auction every so often.

Wow that is a big one. I would also inspect the trigger guard slide stop for any damage also.

Thanks fr the info! slide stop is A OK, new older p64 has a much stiffer recoil spring and it is disassembled into every component, labeled and bagged in a box!!! A lot of wear on the ejector and upper slide that ay have been causing feeding problems by marring the casings as it loaded.
