    I've gone and done it somehow. I took the P64 to the range today. I loaded up the first mag, and I got nothing but click, no bang on several attempts. I removed the mag and cycled out the unfired round, and there was no mark on the primer. I whipped out my multitool and used a screwdriver to press on the firing pin from the rear, and there was no pin poking out of the breechface. Uh oh...

    It fired fine the last time I took it to the range. I must've accidentally dry-fired it at some point between then and today and broke the pin. :mad54: I took the remainder of the old pin out, and it's indeed broken. Parts for this thing are few and far between, but all is not lost. Thankfully, there's a guy on Gunbroker that has a few for sale. $30 though, ouch. That's like 25% of what I paid for the gun! :lol2:

    So if anyone breaks a firing pin, it's not a paperweight yet. There's at least a few firing pins floating around. Just don't break any other parts. :D

    have you looked at the p64forum. com?

    lots of good info there

    best of luck

    Yes, that's where I learned the seller on Gunbroker had a few pins. Other than that guy though, it seems we're screwed. Nobody else has them. And they'd be prohibitively expensive to make, unless I was a skilled machinist.

    Nope, the pin is different. Just like the rest of the gun, except for the cartridge it fires.

    LOL, it's not going to be a paperweight for long. As I said, there's a guy on Gunbroker selling pins, so a broken pin isn't a death sentence as long as this guy has them available. Or if another importation channel sprouts up.
