I wonder if I put mine side by side they will start multiplying!
 
I bought this Universal holster for the TT pistol and Nagant revolver on November 18 2009. (It is not leather.)
It has definitely seen use.











The usual holsters.

FWIW, having owned nearly every country's example (not north Korea though), I like the late production military chinese Tokarev the best. Chrome lined bore, improved hammer group, and durable. The Yugo guns "look" better, but all the ones I owned were less well made than a nice late chinese - strangely. The WW2 russian guns are the roughest and most inaccurate of the versions I have owned, but they do look the coolest :)

What have you found wrong or not as good, with the Yugo and or Polish ones, I am about to order 1 or 2 surplus M54s, from a former sponsor, supposed to be in VG to excellent condition and great price.

Your holster is made of material called "Kirza" in Russian. It was in common use in USSR and had many applications. Mainly soldiers boots were made out of it. However it could be used for many other things like ammo pouches, map cases and obviously holsters.

It is a sickness, but, I don't want a cure, " the only cure for Tokarev is more Tokarev! Caramel posted a pic of an M54 he got from the dealer who shall not be named, it looked great so I ordered one yesterday, a surplus Tok, and two mags for $199. In excellent condition!!! Everyone needs at least one at that price!
 
I am know at 5 ordered lately, i supply my new RPALer with their first pistol and 100 rounds of ammo, in my family and friends circle the word is out that if you go and pass your RPAL i will supply you with a first pistol, doing my best to bring more to the sport.

PS: i am keeping a couple Type 54 for myself as i think they are a great value for the money.

That is awesome Caramel, I am sure they appreciate it!
 
Question: Does anyone else have a TT-33 with wood grips instead of the plastic ones with the star? I don't have a pic but mine has a set with sort of crudely checkered wood grips. I don't know the history of it I inherited it from an estate.
 
Been trying to find a TT-33 myself. Though I am being picky and want one that's pre/wartime to go with the Mosin. That is a much more difficult search...

PM me pics, I can guess they are war time grips, pics will confirm.
 
I have a 1949 Russian Tok. Very reliable. I bought a 2280 round crate with it in a package deal and haven't even made a dent in the crate of ammo.

I work in some 3rd world 5hitholes and think it is practical to train and to be familiar with Soviet arms.

Also the 7.62x25 has some penetrating properties that under certain circumstances, could be of value.
