Re: P64 Trigger guard Plunger Wear

That is very interesting. For the pin to come out the holes in the frame and the hole in the trigger guard need to line up exactly. There needs to be either something out of spec on the pin because of wear/gunk to not allow the center trigger guard section to index properly and drop into the center ...

Re: Official Polish Military P-64 Field Manual rev. 1985

I would. I practice one hand shooting all the time. You can't be sure that you'll have 2 hands available all the time. My first shooting instructor (more than 45 years ago now) insisted on practicing shooting with one hand at least half the time, because he said "they're called 'HAND guns', no...

Re: P64 Trigger Guard Plunger Wear

The Trigger Guard Plunger and Spring does not press directly on the Trigger Guard Pin. It presses on the trigger guard itself just behind the pin, which in turn is displaced downwards into the center recess area of the middle of the trigger guard pin, locking it into place because it is barbell shap...

Re: Slide compatibility from pistol to pistol

I remember now that I had a slide once that was dropped and it caused the rear corner at the rail to be a little tiny bit tight. It didn't take much to get it back into spec. I took some 240-grit sandpaper and wrapped it around a popsicle stick and gently worked the obvious (under magnification) bum...

Re: Slide compatibility from pistol to pistol

I have swapped slides around quite a bit on two different guns and 5 different slides experimentally (both newer and older versions) and have only had a few slight issues. Sometimes they can be a little tight like you mentioned and go into battery a little hard if you ride the slide forward instead ...

Weird proof mark on trigger

IMG_20260207_113157403_50.jpg Prepping one of my triggers to send out to have Titanium Nitride coating applied and noticed this mark. Unlike nearly every other stamping other than the serial numbers, date, caliber 9mm, and circle 11 this one is clear and very high definition. None of the other P64 ...

Re: Makarov Drum Magazine

I don't see why this would not work using a P64 magazine instead.

Now all of a sudden I really want to get my hands on a PPSh drum magazine...in Minecraft.

Why did the Polish mess up the trigger guard plunger design from the original PPK version?

Nobody else seems to want to post here so I guess I'll try to take up the slack and post a wall of text in case anyone is bored. I have read most of the old threads and watched the many videos as well as done a bunch of gunplumbing on these P64's to become pretty familiar with them. Here goes... The...

Re: Different length firing pins?

True, but I've done quite a few parts swaps on my P64's without much trouble -slides, hammers, triggers, mainspring/hammer guide rods, springs aplenty and a bunch of other stuff. I do always carefully check the fit and function every time and the only time I've ever noticed any problem was the secon...

Different length firing pins?

I have been cleaning up some parts to send out to be titanium nitrided and when I came to a couple of firing pins I realized they weren't the same. One was 1.5mm shorter at the back area but still the exact same length from the spring collar to the tip. I initially chalked this up to wear/battering ...

Re: WELCOME THREAD AND MEM, INFO

Thanks guys. I posted more about the grips in a grips thread elsewhere here. That's where I got the idea from a member called J.D. his turned out so well I figured I had to try it too. Since Polish Iron grips are no longer in business I wanted to try something to tame the recoil some. I was using a ...

Re: Looks like the forum is fixed

I have talked to some other P64 owners and they said they also could not join here. I'll be sure to mention that it is possible now. Without new blood a forum will become a ghost town. There are a few new videos popping up on YouTube since these are being imported again. Maybe some more new blood wi...

Re: What gun would be comprable in size to my P-64's ?

Old thread, I know but I have found the hard way that while a PPK holster may fit okay in the front if it has a thumb break around the grip/slide the fit wont be right because the Walther beaver tail is much different than the P64. I had to extend the strap on this PPK OWB holster. It turned out OK ...

Re: A different take on grips.

Thanks to J.D. for the leather grip idea! I did these a couple of years ago but couldn't post a reply since I didn't have an account here and couldn't seem to make one. These were done with 2.5mm thick pigskin leather similar to what a football is made from but maybe a little thinner and stretchier....

Something got fixed very recently and I was finally able to make a new account here today. Thank you to whomever made that happen. I've been trying to do this for the past few years a couple of times a year and it always returned an error message. I think the last time I tried before today was aroun...
