I agree. To me, the Hungarian RK59/R61/SMC918 is a far better choice. I have had two of the P64s and had no luck with either. Too weighty for the pocket, not too reliable the pair I tried.

I have a P64 and I'm dead accurate with it which suprised me. I expected worse. I found it to be a very reliable gun the DA pull is horrible so I swapped it out with a lighter mainspring which helped alot. I would have no problem using it as a CCW. I also put a heavier recoil spring in and though the recoil was not bad at all no worse than a LCP.

My P-64s have been reliable and accurate. Since there's not a lot to hold on to, the relatively small contact area with your hand means you feel the recoil. I don't like firing much more than 100 rounds on a trip to the range.

I'm no muscleman, but I can fire it DA with one finger. However, the accuracy when firing DA has to be poor. I have not replaced the springs since I figure the stiff DA acts kind of like a safety. I never intend to fire DA.

I bought my first one four years ago. Added three more soon after.

I traded the mainspring on mine and the double action pull is still pretty bad. BUT, the gun is very accurate and dead reliable. It's heavy but nicely made.

Try dropping down to the next weakest spring. On my first P-64, the 18lb spring made for a perfect DA pull. On my 2nd, the 18lb spring was still too stiff so I dropped down to the next size. Now, that one has a great DA pull. Sometimes you just have to experiment.
