In Gyurkey v. Babler, the decision is cited as Gyurkey v. Babler, 651 P. 928. Which reporter is indicated by the abbreviation 'P.'?

In legal citations, reporters have standard abbreviations, and the Pacific Reporter group uses different forms for its series. The single-letter abbreviation P. stands for the Pacific Reporter, specifically the First Series. If a citation were from the Second or Third Series, you’d see P.2d or P.3d, respectively. So 651 P. 928 indicates the case is published in the Pacific Reporter (First Series) on page 928. That’s why the correct understanding is Pacific Reporter.
