TT MD57 (DO WANT!!!)
« on: January 23, 2010, 03:46:53 pm »
I never heard of these!

And the add on for importation frame mounted safety is in the right spot!



Does anyone else have one? I know mags are rare but it comes with two and I think I might know someone who is willing to take two 8 round TT mags and make a 9 rounder.

Here's a write up.

    I have to admit that I've always wanted a Tokarev. Lord knows I need one like I need a hole in the head but if the price was right, I'd probably go get one.

    My uncle brought one back from Viet Nam and I had a chance to shoot it way back in the '70's. It was a fun gun.

    I suspect I'd rather have one of these:  http://www.eaacorp.com/zastava-m88-EI.html EAA M88. Relatively compact in 9mm and 40 cal.

    It's also a single action pistol with a slide mounted safety lever.

    I've owned two of the Chinese knock offs, one of which wore the California compliant safety.  The TT is a fun gun to shoot and the 7.62x25 is a spicy little cartridge.  My main complaint is that because of the firing group "package" they all tend to have squishy trigger pulls.  Easy to clean though.

    Okay, about extra magazines for the Zavasta M57 Tokarev, these can be acquired from Custom Classic Sporting Arms. An "answer" to the problem of very expensive M57 magazines (originals at $$$$)
     
    Prices at $28.95 each
