Got the parts for my P64 & did some grip mods (pics inside)

Finally got my parts from Poland that seemed to be worn out on my P64. Looks like the only thing I needed was a new hammer strut but it never hurts to have extra parts on hand.

After installing the parts I went ahead and did some grip mods to the stock grips. I took a piece of paper, laid it on top of each grip and shaded over it with a pencil. I then cut out the shaded grip drawings and taped them on the back of some grip tape, cut it out and affixed it to the panels.

I also put a piece of grip tape on the front strap and then cut down a Wilson Combat checkered strap made for 1911s to fit on the P64. I trimmed it down on the sides so it stuck inside the grip just enough to grab the frame. I'll be shooting it this weekend but so far, it feels a lot better then before.

I also have the 20lb recoil spring (I flattened the ends) and 19lb hammer spring installed. The double action is better but the single action is ridiculously light, but I like it.

Thought I'd add a pic of the Bianchi 100 PPK holster that fits the P64 like a glove.

It looks good, well done!

Thanks

I think if anyone was on a budget, but wanted a good carry conceal weapon, the surplus market is where it's at. I've owned 2 CZ-82s (3rd on it's way) , a IJ70 Makarov, PA63 and now the P64. All of these can be carried IWB or even in pockets if they're big enough.

Well executed, looks great!

The double action is better but the single action is ridiculously light, but I like it.

Someone on this board MADE a trigger return spring with more stiffness to increase SA pull to allow for a much better DA/SA transition. I get a double tap when i don't want it if I don't concentrate. BUT, that's a bit over the top to go making my own springs. SO, I just deal with it on that gun. The SA is amazing if you're not trying to transition off the DA. Super accurate gun, great pocket sized plinker.

I put a Marschal wood grip on mine. It fills the hand better, doesn't hurt so bad on recoil, and has a sort of funnel shape overlap on the bottom that acts as a mag well funnel. I like it much better with the wood grip panels, but yours looks nice. I'm wondering if you can shoot it without a glove to avoid sanding your hand, though.

Looks really nice. And it doubles as a nile fail for when you break a nail in combat.
