By the eany 1970's. a few shortcomings to the original P-64 design had been ident1f1ed. These included a short sight radius. small magazine capacity and heavy d.ouble action trigger pull. In 1972 some minor modifications were to the trigger 'mechanism and the hammer was given a larger hammer spur. The trigger pull was little changed and magazine capacity remained sixrounds. The Polish forces desired a change and a series of prototype service pistols were made: P-70. P-75. P-78A. P-78B. etc.
