The P-64 is a compact and easy to conceal double-action design which operates via simple blow-back. The P-64 is chambered in the Cold War favorite handgun cartridge, 9x18 Makarov, and in size and appearance it reminds me quite a bit of the Walther PPK. Just like the Makarov, CZ 82 and Walther PPK it is an all steel DA/SA auto. The 9x18mm Polish P-64 pistol then hit the market and sold very well. A few years ago CZ 82s were everywhere and I bought one. Twenty years ago the market was flooded with 9x18mm Makarovs and 7.62x25mm TT-33 Tokarevs (my father-in-law bought one of those). market, and the make/type changes every few years depending on which organization is upgrading their issue pistols. Surplus/trade-in European pistols have always been hot sellers in the U.S.
