I have had my P-64 for awhile and like it's compact size and reasonably stout round. It has proven to be a very accurate little pistol, too. I installed the PolishIron grips, and it is actually pleasant to shoot, now.
Parts for these are difficult to come by and they are known to break the barrel safety more than any other part. Other than that, they are very reliable. If you take care when setting the safety with a round chambered, not the let the hammer drop by itself, damaging the safety can be avoided.
I like the idea of having at least two firearms that use the rounds I keep on hand in any quantity and this meant another 9 x 18 Makarov eater was needed.
I considered buying a CZ-82 next, but opted for another P-64 and just pulled the trigger on it from Classic Firearms. They say the conditions are very good to excellent. The first one from them was in excellent condition and looked unissued. I am hoping for one nearly as nice, although my expectations are more reasonable. The nice thing about having two will be that I should be able to keep at least one operational, at all times.
At some point in the future, a CZ-82 will be part of my collection.
My new toy should arrive next week. I will report on it's condition soon after.
