It would appear that the PPK/S is the template for the P-64... Except for preceding it by a couple of years.
The Walther certainly has a better trigger pull and the aftermarket stocks fit the hand much better. But I know from experience that the Walther bites, I dunno if the ZML does.
France vs Poland bonus round!
Manhurin made PP in .380 against the P-64.
There's just not a lot of functional difference between them.
Unrelated to size comparisons, the safety on the P-64 is getting smoother the more I play with it. Deburring the detent with use, I think,
I thought Manurhin was Manhurin, too. Someone pointed out to me that it was "Manufacture Rhine" = "ManuRhin". It was like seeing the candlestick turn into two faces in profile.
