Tokarev Issue. HELP!

[prevost12]

My Russian TT-33 jams almost every single shot. Ive tried 3 different types of ammo. Im not very experienced with handguns, so could anyone offer some advice on how to trouble shoot this? any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Did you do a thorough clean of it. No cosmo in it?

X2. Make sure its clean first.

Yupp. I pulled it right apart as soon as I got it and cleaned it out well. It seems to be some type of a feeding problem.

Is it jamming with all of your mags?

Are you using a firm grip to avoid limp wrist stoppages?

 

[prevost12]

I tired two different mags, both jammed. I dont think its a limb wrist problem because I shoot my 1911 regularly without any issues.

1911's are very forgiving,my daughter can shoot my 1911 all day with no jams, my Beretta 92 she can make jam ever other shot.

What kind of jams? Stovepipe? Fte? Over riding the next round in the mag?

 

[prevost12]

it shoots the first round, ejects without issue, then jams the second shot against the chamber. Its definitely a feeding issue. Its not stove pipping at all and it definitely ejects well.

I should also note that I've shot my friends tokarev all day without a single issue so I dont think im being limb wristed.

Feed ramp clean and smooth? No burrs anywhere?

Have you made sure you've put it back together properly? The spring especially can be a right pain. If the spring is pushing the barrel, and therefore chamber, off a bit, I can see why there'd be a feeding issue, especially after firing it once, as it wouldn't reset properly.

Yup, check the spring, in particular ensuring that the tab at the rear is seated on the barrel and not sticking up.

So I took it all apart. cleaned it well. put it back together correctly, and took it out shooting. I've now realized that the problem is, my slide release is engaging after every shot. Anybody know how to fix this? Thanks again for your help.

1 check your grip and make sure your not inadvertently pushing up on the slide stop when you hold the gun under recoil.

2 take the mags apart and clean them out well

if it still does it

3 try it with a friends mags.

lubricate the whole gun up
