The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

I just joined this site,I;ve got a P64 on lay-a-way from beasleydano,and he told me about this site.
I have 2 Makarovs,an East German in 9x18 and a Commercial Russian in .380ACP.
I'm really looking forward to the P64(is the double action trigger really as tough as everyone says) ;D

it feels like dragging a brick or a cinder block across the floor on a string tied to your finger

rmeron,

Congrats and welcome! The trigger pull is really bad. One positive about the trigger pull is that most members that use it as a CCW keep it loaded with one in the chamber, hammerdown, safety off.

The DA trigger-pull on my round hammer '68 is so bad that I doubt if I could use it left-handed. My later, triangular hammer P-64s have much better DA pulls. Still stiff, but no plans to do anything about them.

+1 NORM,couldn't have a better description,LOL!!

Get the Wolf 19 or 20lb mainspring and the increased power recoil spring. They really do help.

Am I the lone freak here? When I bought my first P-64 last year I was expecting something aweful until I shot it and I don't think the pull or recoil is all that bad. Not as cozy as my .40 but not too bad. Am I alone?

As soon as I get mine and get a chance to shoot it I'll post my feelings on the subject.

I have a couple of Rugers that folks on the Ruger site with the same models say they have to do work on for trigger pull,but I don't have a problem with any of my triggers,even the Makarov's I own are OK for me,

We'll see.
