About the Cartridge

This is the current Russian military cartridge used in the Makarov and Stechkin auto pistols. It was adopted shortly after the end of World War II, and its design was probably inspired by an experimental German cartridge called the 9mm Ultra. This cartridge is intermediate in size and power, between the .380 Automatic and the 9mm Parabellum. It is a well-designed cartridge for its purpose, although a little underpowered by Western standards.

Disappointing
By mojo357 on 05 Jul 2021
I had high hopes when I bought my P64. Loved the size and power and the sturdy steel build. But the bad outweighed the good. First, reliability. Couldn't get through a single 6 round mag without fail-to-fires - until I polished the feed ramp for the umpteenth time and finally cured it. If you have one that is misfiring, get out the dremel and carefully polish that feed ramp a little at a time until you hit the sweet spot. Second, recoil. Very punishing gun to shoot. No fun at the range. Third, slide bite. You need to hold this gun very precisely. It has a nasty bite if the skin near your thumb gets caught by the sharp moving slide. Fourth, disassembly. It's easy to do a simple breakdown but for a full tear-down it has an eccentric flat spring that is a bitch to insert into its slot. And if I recall correctly, you have to watch out for other small springs that are easy to lose, so it's wise to do any work on it in a special box.

Sweet weapon. Small but yet gets the job done.
