TT33 FOR SALE | TT33 PISTOL FOR SALE ONLINE

The Tokarev tt33 for sale and tt33 pistol for sale online Model 1933 was developed in the Soviet Union by Fedor Tokarev as a replacement for their Nagant Model 1895 revolver. Something in the region of 1.7 million pistols were produced, mainly during World War Two, with manufacture in the USSR ceasing in 1952 when it was replaced by the 9mm Makarov PM.

Other countries were issued licences to manufacture the TT-33 for sale notably in China by Norinco as the Type 54, Yugoslavia (Serbia) by Zastava Arms as the M-57, Egypt as the “Tokagypt 58”, North Korea as the Type 68, Romania as the “Cugir Tokarov” and Poland as the “PW wz.33” – the following diagram being taken from the Polish Instruction Manual (source: forgottenweapons.com).

Internally the tt33 for sale uses the short-recoil dropping barrel/ swinging link system invented by John Browning for  Colt 1911; externally it more closely resembles his earlier Model 1903 designed for Fabrique Nationale of Belgium (aka the M1903 and Browning No.2). It has a modular hammer assembly, simpler than that of the M1911, but no grip or hammer safety. It is chambered for the 7.62x25mm Tokarev cartridge (based on the 7.63x25mm Mauser cartridge) which is held in an eight round magazine, has a muzzle velocity of 480 m/s and an effective range of 50m (source: Wikipedia; photo from militaryfactory.com).

The tt33 pistol for sale online and its tt33 for sale Visual Accuracy 9 / 10 Initially, this was the main reason I bought this pistol. At first glance I thought it looked pretty good… having had it for a few days I now think it looks even better! The only thing perhaps worth commenting upon is that the “iron” sights are black and so not quite in keeping with the rest of the pistol. Also, the front post is a slightly different shape, being not quite so high (as shown in the comparison photographs below – source: Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association at pafoa.org).

The tt33 pistol for sale online grips are black plastic as against to brown, but are virtually identical to the real thing (I should imagine the brown ones are bakelite, but IMHO the black ones look rather good against the light finish). Lanyard loops are included and although a safety has been fitted – I presume to comply with regulations in certain countries – it is very discreet and barely noticeable on top of the grip on the left-hand side (ensuring the little tab is raised about 1mm allows the pistol to fire). The quality of the nickel/ silver finish is very good, but tends to mark easily with finger prints… just like a real pistol!

Some markings for tt33 for sale are included on the left hand side of the frame and the top of the slide; these read as a couple of characters in Cyrillic text (a “YA” or “IA” and “ZH” in English transliteration) , a “serial number” 533, a “star” symbol and “1941”… the text and s/n looking as if they were stamped in a hurry and quite in keeping with a pistol made in 1941!
