Thumbs up

The Polish P-64 is chambered in 9X18 Makarov caliber, but it is not a Makarov pistol. AIM Surplus has them now.

Just Arrived! A small shipment of the Rarely seen Polish P-64, 9x18Mak caliber Pistols. Designed in the Late 50’s by Polish Army Officers, makes this a unique Pistol with collector value. It’s small size and potent caliber makes it a great concealed carry firearm! Very similar to the German Walther PPK. Includes 2-6rd Magazines as pictured.

Polish P-64

The P-64 appeared on the US surplus market in 2004 on the heels of the Makarov pistol. With the Bulgarian Makarovs having largely dried up, distributors often labeled these a "Polish Makarovs". In fact, they are nothing alike except that they are chambered in 9x18 Makarov. While more compact than the Makarov, they are not nearly as shootable as the Makarov largely due to its horrendously heavy double-action trigger pull. Still, they are worth considering as part of a 9x18 Makarov collection.

I personally don't like the look to them. I would either get a mak or PP. I feel the P64 is the b@$&@%! son of the two
