The TT33 is a wonderful little piece of history with respectable accuracy and excellent fit and finish (on the arsenal refurbished ones). With a slick SA trigger and a slim grip, it is an absolute hoot to shoot although the stiff recoil can catch you off guard the first few times. The slim profile and solid construction give it a very reassuring feeling of quality and reliability and the performance does not disappoint. I have owned mine for a little under a year and fired it extensively with no misbehaviours from, or ill effects on, the firearm. It has slowly gown to be one of my favourite pistols and I think you will be pleasantly surprised how favourably it compares in delivering value against other comparably priced pistols.
A few drawbacks, based on my personal experience, include the lack of a safety lever - not an issue to me as I chamber a round only when I am ready to fire, but it can be a concern if you lend your firearm out to inexperienced shooters not familiar with SA operation; and the relatively slippery stock plastic grips – easily replaced with relatively inexpensive aftermarket wood grips.
As others have pointed out, ammo is fairly inexpensive - if not a little scarce from time to time. In saying so, however, a case of 2200 rounds will keep you satisfied for a while.
In short, buy one and enjoy it for what it is – a very capable firearm although not in the same league in accuracy and refinement as ones costing a few times as much.
