Description: The only web site dedicated to the P-64 pistol. Goods, fixes, and all the info you need for your Polish P-64. 9x18 cal.
Welcome to the one stop web site dedicated and devoted only to the Polish P-64 pistol. This site was originally created on October 24, 2005, and has since seen a massive explosion of popularity. With the price of this pistol averaging somwhere in the $150 US range, its accuracy rivaling high end tuned pistols, and its size and weight making it perfect for concealed carry, it's no wonder this little gem is so popular.
First and foremost, let's get the most discussed topic out of the way. THIS GUN IS NOT A MAKAROV . It does, however, use the 9x18mm, or, 9mm Makarov cartridge. The left side of the slide has factory rollmarks of 9mm „P-64” . Because the West knows the 9mm as the 9x19, importers added "Cal. Makarov" and "x18" in electropencil to indicate it's difference. The Polish P-64 and Makarov simply share their caliber - nothing else. DO NOT fire any other 9mm round (9x19, 9x17, etc.) in the P-64!
The P-64, if anything, is more of a clone of the Walther PPK. Both have their strong points and weak points . Some folks say the 'real' Maks are better than the P-64's. Others disagree. Whatever side your on, the only thing that is a fact is that they are not the same weapon and only share their caliber.
