The P-64 pistol (official designation 9 mm pistolet wz. 1964) has been developed in Poland during late 1950s and early 1960s, as a compact and lightweight replacement for Tokarev TT pistols,
manufactured in Poland under soviet license. Following the Soviet road,
Poland replaced the powerful 7.62x25mm ammunition with less powerful,
but still effective 9x18 Makarov ammunition. P-64 has been used by both
Polish military and police, and still could be found in holsters of some
Polish police officers. In military service it has been superceded in
mid-1980s by the P-83 pistol.
The P-64 was small and light enough for a pocket or a concealed carry
sidearm, but it has too small magazine, and too heavy trigger pull to be
considered as a valuable service pistol. The severe felt recoil also
did not helped to establish popularity for this gun.
P-64 is a blowback operated, semi-automatic weapon, made almost
entirely of steel. P-64 is hammer fired, with double-action trigger and
decocking safety, mounted at the left side of the slide. Safety features
also include loaded chamber indicator in the form of a small pin, which
protrudes from the back of the slide, above the hammer, when chamber is
loaded with cartridge. Trigger guard is a separate unit, which is
hinged to the frame and served as a disassembly lever when pulled down.
Single stack magazine contains only 6 rounds, and magazine release catch
is located at the bottom of the grip.
