Interested in the TT-33

[geologist]

Don't dryfire it as you will break the firing pin's split retaining pin. I had to replace mine with a shortened drill bit kept in the slide with electrical tape until I was able to find spares.

Otherwise my 1949 Russian has been very reliable and fun to shoot other than a couple of sharp edges that rub me the wrong way.

Don't buy one with the safety added. Toks should be safetyless.

Wiemajack has some beauties on the EE right now. His stuff is always primo hand-picked, and you don't have any taxes. I suggest you look him up!

Is that something new? I talked to him a few months ago about a P38 and he was charging tax.

I found that these mag plates really help me "get a grip" on mine.
From Gunpartswarehouse in the USA. Compensator is more of a toy.

I honestly don't find it much worse than my 9mm

like the previous guy said, plastic gun kick more and i never had any experience with them.
but metal tok vs metal 40s&w. the tt33 have way more recoil.

Source for mags is also Lever Arms at $15.00 each

TT is interesting WW2 era pistol to shoot, not very ergonomic, but simple, reliable and has very powerful round (plus Czech surplus SMG ammo gives it additional kick - and pistol handles it well). If you're picking up just for shooting - go for Soviet post war, best quality. Best finish - Polish. Best historical value - Soviet pre war or ww2 in original condition (try to find one, a day ago matching 1939 in original condition but with incorrect wooden grips was immediately sold for $475 + taxes by one of vendors). Best curio - Khyber Pass.

Sorry, could not resist!

They only have tok 9mm mags, no 7.62x25. I just bought my TT and asked them when I picked it up, Wanstalls has nice ones. I just grabbed 4 off them.

Oh man, I'd love one of those!

Cheap and available. I've had 5 of them and they are cool guns. A post war non refurb is a great bargain if you can get one.

Oh, sh!t, I didn't realize they were 9mm, good thing I didnt pick up a couple extra with the Tokarev I bought last week lol

Nice looking! Can you show us a view that shows off the rear sight?
The GPW mag bases give a much better grip on the traditional TT. All of the three lower fingers fit!

 

[Phat Eagle]

^^^ that's the nicest looking Tok I've seen!

 

[gunzik]

OK: what's this pistol called, and where can I get one?

It's a Khyber Pass special... You can buy them in the open air gun markets in Peshawar.

As cool as I think it looks I'd be afraid to fire a buckshot round out of one like Lefty here.

It is a prop gun from the movie Kingsman: The Secret Service

So unfortunately, it is made of unobtanium.

Just out of curiosity, would it not be prohib?

It's just an underbarrel flare launcher......

You know, a safety device.

Think of the children!

If it saves just one life!!!!!!!
