Picked up a 1974 Polish P-64 today.
Shot fine (actually it was too snappy) but function was 100% with some old Rooski 9x18 copperwashed.
Was playing with the safety/decocker and have understood that the slide will cycle with it engaged. The slide does cycle with the safety engaged, but the pistol won't go into battery. No amount of pushing will put it into battery, in fact the decocker won't go into the fire position unless the slide is retracted some.
When in the fire position, the pistol fires normally, and locks back when empty as expected.
Is this normal, or do I have a somewhat broken pistol?
Please see photos attached.
