Could not agree more. The CZ can hold more rounds than most and just feels better in my opinion. Have been looking at the P64 for a while too but was not sure. You like yours pretty well I take it. I have three Radom manufactured weapons and absolutely love them but have heard mixed reviews on the P64.
The price for P64 have jumped incredibly over the last year. I bought one, tried it, and sold it.
This made me think twice about owning it.

It shoudnt, the fellow tells you his mistake right here
P64 in the safe, I dropped it and bang...I was shot through and through my left forearm. I usually carry my P64 with a round chambered, hammer down, and safety off.
I can drop my CZ-82 right on the hammer and it won't go bang. I don't carry any gun without a firing pin block.
FWIW,
The PA 63 , P 64 , CZ 82 aren't Makarov's as designed by Nikolai Makarov, they use the 9x18 round , but that's the end of any likeness.
Also, the "real deal" Mak has passed the California drop test.
And it's been KGB tested and approved!
I have an E German Makarov, nice little gun. The blowback design is inherantly accurate and the relatively light recoil of the 9x18 makes it an easy gun to shoot accurately. 1911s have gottten me into the habbit of resting my thumb on the safety, a position that is not compatible with the slide mounted safety on the Mak.
CZ 82 is a nice 9x18 gun too that is similar to the Mak in size but with a couple differences. The mag release on the CZ is up by the trigger and on both sides where the Makarov is at the base of the grip. Both are DA/SA but the CZ can be carried cocked and locked where the Mak is a safety/decocker, no C&L for the Mak.
Both nice pistols, price favors the CZ right now

I have two, both the Russian commercial made ones that were sold in the US before the ban on import by Billy Bubba. I have a 9X18, and a .380 ACP model, and love them both. They are among the most accurate handguns I have ever owned, and I would never part with them willingly.
