polish p64

[Guest rockbottom12]

have been looking into getting one of these for concealed carry. From all i can find they are extremely reliable. also i have found a site that carries tons of info on them. Does anyone have any experience with them?

looks like i am looking at $160 pre fees and such.

The best looking one i have seen.

the green grips i really want.

stock not customized

Well dont keep it a secret, tell us the web site. I might have to have one to. Please and thanks They defiantly look good.

I shot one last week.

It *stung* pretty badly in the webbing of my hand. More than a PA-63 or my .38 derringer. I only shot one magazine and decided it wasn't for me.

I strongly suggest shooting one before you buy.

the website of all the info (kinda leery of posting it b/c it has a forum, and I dont know how the admins feel about the competition although it is more gun specific)

got one several mango season ago. great guns. hot little guns. hard as nails. get some extry mags with it. the mags are/were hard to find. the gun is the same a the ppk. i never had any problems with it. ammo is pricey, like 380 acp ammo.

Academy Sports usually has Makarov ammo for $10-12/50 depending on the sales you catch.

That's ball, haven't priced too much HP yet.

i think the hornaday defense ammo is like $15 for 25 rounds. I like this gun for carry purposes. I can change the grips out to a customized grip, extra mag, custom leather holster for what i would have in just a keltec. then I have a one of a kind carry pistol that is tough as nails. From what i understand the common complaints are 1. the recoil has a bite to it.(small gun) 2. the da pull is a little harsh, (fix: replacement springs $10)

Lucily i have a friend who carries one of these so ill be heading out to the range soon to give one a tryout.

For the price that looks like a great carry pistol. That S&W Chiefs special in .45 looks pretty awesome too....dang too many guns and not enough $$$

I've got one. Rock solid, rugged, and reliable. Very nice condition as well....basically looks like a new gun. I now carry it everyday as my pocket/back-up gun. I would buy another one without hesitation.

As to the trigger pull, yes, it's VERY heavy, but for personal reasons, I decided to keep it that way. The pistol is very smooth, so it can be drawn from a coat pocket with no snagging whatsoever. The pistol is surprisingly accurate. As to the recoil, I personally don't find it to be all that prohibitive...it reminds me of the .380 NAA Guardian that I used to have...it kicks due to it's size, but for it's role as a back-up/hideout weapon, it will do.

Money well spent, in my opinion...
