Norinco type 54 7.62x25

I've got one...it was my second pistol, and it and a case of 2280 rounds cost me half of what my first pistol cost me...the grips suck, but all in all it is a great pistol for starting out. The pistols, parts, and ammo are easy to find and dirt cheap...plus you can also find 9mm barrels and magazines for it, and the conversion takes all of 30 seconds... I've shot about a case through mine and it is quite accurate, with good groupings...I can strip it in about 30 seconds for cleaning, and I just drop all the parts into a pot of almost boiling water, then scoop them out to flash dry.
Oh, and it is damn loud for a handgun if your are shooting the 7.62 Tokarev...pisses off some of the farts at my range

that s what i am thinking , the 7.62x25 ammo are good price,half the price of 9mm, I see some old russian tt33 around for sale ,but i havent find any Norinco 54 for sale yet, the tt 33, i saw was selling around $250, Is it around the right price??? not sure i should get the Russian one , they are like 60 year old !
The old ones are tried, tested, and true 
Besides, they are war dated, which is a really cool attribute for any firearm. It makes it more than just a gun--it gives it an extra historical value.
I'm in the middle of a buying process for a Russian Tokarev TT33 right now and I can't wait to hold it

Marstar is as good a place as any. Very easy to deal with and reliable.
They look like $#!^ and the grip is awkward but they are as reliable as bricks and surprisingly accurate. They fire a lightweight bullet at very high muzzle velocities (1460 fps and more) so you get a terrific sonic crack with little recoil. The only serious issue I have is with the grips: the plastic tends to crumble with use.
Keep an eye on Gunnar's site, he's sold a few used ones recently. Just sold a Russian for $199 http://www.armco-guns.com/Used Guns For Sale.htm
If I were you, I'd get the original Russian model. Norks are OK, but are nothing like the real thing. Keep in mind, none of them were ever noted for their oustanding accuracy
If you like cheap shooting, consider a .22lr pistol if you don't have one already.
