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 In military service it has been superceded in mid-1980s by the P-83 pistol.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.
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.

which the PM or the polish thing
The one I have seen looked awfully small for a 9mm mak cartrige
ill bet it is a bear to shoot straight.
that is why I cant go with a smaller CCW
I refuse to pack a pistol I cant fire accurately.
the ppk's are just too small for my big mits
a j frame smith is also very hard for me to shoot accurately
I need a bigger handle
but hey you may like it fine.

After studying and owning seven Pistolet Makarovas, I have become somewhat familiar with them.
The P64 is more of a PPK clone. The only thing it shares with the PM is caliber. This resulted from the Soviet standardization within the Warsaw Pact nations. Members could adapt the PM or develop their own, but it had to be in 9mm Mak caliber. The Hungarian PA63 is an example of this. East Germany and Bulgaria adapted and produced the PM. China adapted it as well. It has now been learned that Estonia also imported, from the Soviet Union, the PM for it's use. Hungary and Poland developed their own pistols chambered for the Soviet round. Czechoslovakia produced the Vz82, also in 9mm Makarov. I'm not sure what Yugoslavia used.
