Best P64 on a C&R for the price?

Mine is great, $165 as I remember. Put new springs in it but the safety would engage when you fired it. I changed the firing pin spring and that fixed that. Magazines are the issue, there are two types different in the feed lips. I bought two extras that will not feed. I just copied the good one and cut them back.
 
Got one several years ago, for $150, which was the point. A cheap, small, relatively powerful pocket pistol. Heavy for its size, but not bad. Wolff only had the recoil spring listed then, got the heavy one. A modified ppk spring replaced the hammer spring, as it took two men and a boy to pull the hammer back. It is the older rounded hammer, made in the 60s. I carried it a lot, and rusting was a constant fight, so I cerakoted it. Got like 4 extra mags for it. Still carry it on occasion. Sweet shooting little gun, quite a bit more accurate than expected.
 
here is my P 64 ($180) and training pistol ($100) I got in 2012 . They were inexpensive guns for my collection. Cut out guns are hard to find. Never have shot mine nor will.

Thanks Taroman, but the ones at Wideners are not C&R eligible. They do , however, look nice.
Doyle you hit the nail on the head with that video. The best quality audio and video I've seen in a long time on You Tube. Thanks again. My springs have been mailed and will be installed soon.
I have almost everything needed for the installation of the hammer spring, vice, tape, safety glasses, but I am short of that "special" paper clip! :D

I don't have Break Free, but do have M7-Pro that ought to do the trick?

I noticed that the "RED DOT" safety indicator dot was totally worn off my gun. I took a Q-tip and acetone to remove the oil, etc. from the indentation in preparation for re-painting it with my wife's nail laquer. The residual paint was totally dissolved with the acetone? (not supposed to happen.) Go figure! I now have a danger indicator that is more of a purple than what I'd call danger RED! :D
I suppose that could be called an unauthorized field change.

Thanks to all you other P64 owners too. I only wish I had jumped on the sales wagon when prices were lower.

Sure. I've never used it but it looks fine. Just make sure your grips are off first - many of those chemicals don't play nice with grips.
 
I just saw that JG has them listed for $200 in "good" condition and $230 for "very good" condition. I've bought from JG before and had a good experience with them.
 
New P64 Springs Arrived

Yoe Doyle! The spring kit arrived yesterday. Hammer spring and of course recoil spring was easy. The firing pin spring was what we used to call a pain in the *** (rear). By the time I had the safety lever back in, I was down to a t-shirt sweating! The safety detent and detent spring called upon my special tools to get it back in. This is one of those jobs that they say "not to try at home".
Since the detent has a "tapered to a point" end, and the body of the detent sticks out beyond it's housing, I needed a tool that was slender, tough, and concave on the end to push it back home and still be out of the way enough to force the safety back in place. Part of an old wire wrap tool from my computer repair days did the trick.
 
Glad you got it to work. I have never found the need to replace the firing pin spring. Factory spring has always worked just fine. I guess if I ever break one I'll have to replace it but for now, that part stays stock.
