Makarovs

I just bought a Polish Makarov P-64, and a Bulgarian Makarov. Haven't fired them yet, but after cleaning the cosmoline off them and re-lubing, they seem to have a decent feel to them. This may change after firing them, but the P-64 has a more comfortable feel to it. Reminds me of my PPK/S, altho it's probably more like a PPK. Does anyone know where I can buy mags for the P-64? I see the Makarov mags all over the place, but no P-64.

Also, any advice about the care and feeding of these two pieces?

  Maks are very trouble-free. Simple cleaning is all it takes. I don't have a P-64, but I do have a PA-63. It came with a stiff trigger, but was easily tuned up, by cutting off a little of the hammer spring. How's the trigger on yours?

  They both seem to have typical 'military' type triggers. I really can't tell without actually firing them, altho neither one seems to be as stiff as my WW2 P38.
