At the Tampa gunshow today, I saw 2 P-64's. Both were marked in the mid to high $200's. Too rich for my blood. Best deal I saw on a Mak caliber (besides the boatload of PA-63's) was a dealer that had CZ-82's for $215. If I hadn't already spent my show money on a rifle, I would have grabbed one.

The thing that I wanted to discuss was something that I didn't know existed. I saw a Walther PP labeled as 9x18. Was that a mismark or did they really make a 9x18 PP? My gun book doesn't list one. I didn't bother to examine it because the marked price was around $550.

It is a Walther PP Super in 9x18 Ultra designed for police use. It was not made for the 9x18 Makarov round.
