What’s Included
- Radom P-64 pistol
The P-64 was adopted by the Polish Army in 1965 and remained in production until 1977. Its compact 3.3-inch barrel and steel frame deliver a slim profile suited for concealed carry or collection display.
This example retains its polished blued finish on both slide and frame, with the factory oval “11” code and clear PW Arms Redmond WA / Z.M. Lucznik Poland import stamp. Vertical rear slide serrations provide a positive grip during manipulation.
The double-action/single-action blowback action features a bobbed external hammer. A slide-mounted safety also functions as a decocker, adding a level of mechanical safety appreciated by service users.
Additional functional touches include an internal slide-catch system, fixed iron sights with a 114 mm sight radius, and a lanyard loop at the frame heel—hallmarks of Polish military sidearms of the era.
