Ok I have a question, I have an original, 1947 Russian TT-33 but there is some petina in the barrel, i have ammunition, the locks, bells, and whistles work just fine, but is it safe to fire with petina in the barrel?
@IzzySykes66 It's not part of the design but it's a common failure. The slide stop may be a bit worn. If this doesn't happen when you lock the slide by hand the magazine spring may be a bit weak so it isn't fully lifting the slide stop into the notch.
I got a1941 tt 33 with all matchin numbers it has little weird russian markings all around in certain spots the weird thing is the serial is 3 numbers with two symbols in front of it then says 1941 thats it nothng else can someone pls help i need to know if its an original and if that is serial number or model number
I have one of these same pistols. It is a Yugoslav-built Tokarev-33. I reload the 7.62x25mm cases with Barnes' Varmint Grenade all-copper bullets. These bullets are designed to fragment explosively on impact and create devastating wound channels. Loaded using the Varmint Grenade, they make EXCELLENT personal defense rounds.
@zero48411 They're loud, and they have a nice, big muzzle blast. :-) The Romanian one I have is very nice--looks almost brand new, and it's 50 years old. The Yugoslavian one is a trade-off... the ones available now are in slightly worse condition than the Romanians (cosmetically, anyway). The Yugos have a larger magazine, though...but the mags are also harder to find and more expensive.
Hey I got some questions for anyone that knows about these guns. How does it feel? Is it Comfortable? Accurate? Powerful? And does the recoil feel as bad as it looks?
my dad was an officer in the romanian army, he was a tank driver and technician, he actually had 2 tanks: his training one and another underground that only a few knew about in case we got attacked. this was his handgun
thinking about getting him another and heading down to the range
Woah, woah woah, wait a minute. When you locked the slide back while loading it, your pistol doesn't have a guide rod (or whatever the rod under the barrel is called)? Both my TT-33 and a friend's have a rod that sticks out of the end of the slide when its locked back. Is it just a difference between the Russian/Polish/Romanian versions?
@Cynfidel Does your Tokarev happen to be a Yugo M57? Those have a full length guide rod with a captured recoil spring. The original Russian design along with the Polish and Romanian I've owned use a short guide rod with a spring cap.
@gamerkid1177 Russian TT-33's are increasingly rare in the US and command prices much higher than a comparable Polish or Romanian model. This particular pistol was Romanian and cost somewhere in the $250 range. I sold it after I bought a Polish Tokarev.
It seems like I recall something about there being some inconsistency in surplus 7.62x25mm in terms of powder charge. I noticed the first shot out of this Tokarev looked like a real kicker with a lot more muzzle flash than most of the shots that followed. I've even noticed inconsistencies like this in 7.62x39mm although I had to watch a video of me shooting the gun to really tell. Love the Tokarev, though. It's a rugged, reliable old piece and mine's never failed me.
Was this pistol the original sidearm from Vietnam? (Not the new multiplayer map pack that came out for Battle Field Bad Company 2, I mean the real Vietnam war)
Is it a challenge to convert these guns to 9mm? I have heard it's as simple as getting a 9mm barrel and maybe a spring, and that even the standard magazines can hold 9mm. Is that true?
Also, is it difficult to get a tok with 7 round mag? I've heard there are a lot of them that only take 8 round mags that are really rare and expensive.
I have one of these little babies in my arsenal. Its a pleasure to shoot! It is a little obsolete compared to most handguns but just because somethings old doesnt mean you throw it away.
@saamohod 7.62x25 weighs almost as much as 9mm, and the cases are identicle except the 7.62 tok's casing is 6mm longer and bottle necked for the thinner .30 cal bullet. I've yet to get a reloading set up but I bet if you cut 6mm off a tokarev casing, you could reload it for 9mm. Hmm... anyways I got both P38 and TT33, they can be controlled very easily. TT33 might have a bit more snap in it's recoil, perhaps caused by the zippier little .30 cal bullet but it can be tamed with a tight grip :)
These are really great videos you make. You have a great collection of weird and wonderful guns, and your use of camera angle and clear shots makes these a joy to watch. Thanks for these, keep up the great work!
@karamelles98 I went through over 5000 rounds over the years from one of my TTs before I got the second TT33 and they shoots the same ..I don't see any differences.
@scuba36fun is it really worth buying another Tokarev based on my situation? I got a man handled beat up Polish one that looked good on the outside but the internals have been giving problems. Hammer light strikes, feeding ramp and throat needs to be constantly repolished, the slide stop doesnt engage w/out maganize inserted, and now the spring is acting up, im also scared my slide is getting bent out of shape. is it possible as hot as the round is, it just slowly destroys it
@SSSDiaz7The strange part of commie block weapons .it always who made them,even if you look at Aks they not the same ..the difference from Russian AK47 and Polish AK despite the look, they like a different animals.Try to get original Russian, from 1945s to 1970s Soviet officers use to get on average 10 rounds a month to shoot at the shooting range and most of them didn't carry the same gun for more then 6 months.Original Russian TT33 would be more durable then most of today modern pistols.
@SSSDiaz7 Anyway, anything can be wrong with 60+ year pistol ...but if you inspected visually ..and it's Russian made, and price is good... go for it. Good luck.
@shinemaster50 Expanding powder gases tend to sound rather similar. It's always a 'bang'. The PowerShot A560 I took most of these videos with doesn't have a top-notch microphone anyhow.
@DrakeGmbH That and firearms produce two distinct sounds when fired. There's that crack of the expanding gases, and then the report of the bullet breaking the sound barrier that tends to carry out towards wherever you fired it. It's nearly impossible to capture with any microphone or replicate with speakers.
No, it doesn't. Neither my 92FS, nor any M9, 92F, 92FS, etc. I've been around has any distinctive "plinking" to it compared to any other 9mm handguns. As a matter of fact, NONE of them have any distinctiveness. The largest variables is the load you're firing, barrel length, acoustics of the setting, and the varying quality of whatever mic setup you have if there's video involved. When firing unsuppressed, the sound of the action of the slide cycling isn't discernible, either.
@opmike343 Oh ok.. So the sound could be from the supersonic bullet instead? Something like a sharp echo report, I dun really know what causes it though.
@shinemaster50 a 380 sounds much better than a 9mm but a 7.62x25 rd sounds beast when u fire one.. how many pistols u know of that have that much recoil? a few yes..
@jdrizzo21 Yeah, the 7.62x25 round is the loudest pistol round I've heard so far (except for .44 mag). As far as recoil, it has about as much as a 9mm.
@shinemaster50 You mean when being fired? Yes ALL guns sound they same when fired the only thing that makes them sound different is the camera being used to record it.
its about the size of a .32 ACP round, so I would NOT trust it for bears. The rounds a fast little bugger, but I dont think its getting through a bear skull.
@soixe1997 For "bear medicine" I'd want a .45-70 lever gun or a 12 gauge loaded with hardened slugs. If I had to use a handgun, I'd be grabbing a .44 Mag revolver from Smith or Ruger.
@soixe1997 Perfect gun, not only for bears but for many situations...and yes it will go through bear or moose skull without problem. In WW2 when Soviets executed Germans ..to save a bullets they shoot up to five soldiers in a line with one round. I own two of them and this pistol is very accurate at 50 m. I also like it's "uncomfortable" and short handle, because it allows to shoot faster from different angles..this is AK of pistols.
@scuba36fun Right. My Grandfather survived because the bullet startet to tumble in the second or third head. The hit of the bullet in the fourth head (a badly raped nurse) covered his face with blood, bones and brain. He stayed cool and dropped like the others. Lucky the russians didn't use their knifes to stay secure. He was a doctor who never shot anyone. The others were three badly misstreated and abused young nurses (by the russians) and his 19 year old assistent. Not cool. War is bullshit.
I have a Romanian TTC as well. The barrel I got was stainless and absolute rubbish, but the trigger was great. Once I swapped the barrel for a Norinco chrome-lined barrel, it turned into a really fine gun. Yeah, the sights suck, and the slide lock doesn't engage very well... and I had to alter the mag follower to keep it from catching on the release pin... but it's fun, accurate, and cheap to feed!
@DrakeGmbH I was wondering, is there any relation or difference between the Tokarev and Makarov pistols? I googled it, but can't for the life of me get an easy enough answer for it. Nice gun!
@joshuak901 Not from a design standpoint. The Makarov replaced the Tokarev as the standard service pistol in the Soviet military. The TT-33 was designed by Fedor Tokarev in 1930 and the PM was designed by Nikolay Makarov in the early 1950's. The Tokarev uses a short recoil system with a swinging link barrel. The Makarov uses a direct blowback system with a fixed barrel.
@joshuak901 The Tokarev (as designed) has no manual safety aside from a half-cock notch and has a single action trigger. The Makarov has a thumb safety/decocker lever and has a double action/single action trigger.
@joshuak901 The Tok uses a Browning link system and a much higher pressure round than the Mak. The Tok also uses very simple safeties. It's a copy of an old Colt. The Mak is an improved copy of the Walter PP using a round slightly more powerful than the 380 ACP. Soviet designers reduced the parts count of the Walter, made use of more investment castings and did a nice job with the entire system. However the round for the Mak is pretty anemic.
@Choncho203 I sold it because I had bought a Polish Tokarev last winter. Yes, it was decently accurate. The triggers aren't great but the sights are large and clear which made it a bit easier to shoot than the Vz.52. Not quite as comfortable, though.
@DrakeGmbH@yourredcomrade717 is it really worth buying another Tokarev based on my situation? I got a man handled beat up Polish one that looked good on the outside but the internals have been giving problems. Hammer light strikes, feeding ramp and throat needs to be constantly repolished, the slide stop doesnt engage w/out maganize inserted, and now the spring is acting up, im also scared my slide is getting bent out of shape. is it possible as hot as the round is, it just slowly destroys it
would you be willing to trade this pistol? im looking to trade hand gun for hand gun, if you are the send me a personal message and we can discuss it.
i recall reading on one of your webley post that they were your favorite to shoot (cant help but agree there - love mine ;o). where does the tokarev rank in your arsenal? what do YOU think about it? i dont know anything about them, personally....
@nganir Well I wouldn't still own one if they weren't at least fun to shoot. Compared to some of my other semiauto pistols the Tokarev has a unique (and somewhat unnerving) looseness and 'clankiness' to it when fired. It's accurate but the recoil is a bit violent and the flash with some ammo is impressive. That's a good part of the gun though - a Colt 1903-sized pistol belching a fireball like that. It's not my favorite shooter, but it's not last in line.
@nganir The last place was previously occupied by a Mauser HSc in .380 - which I just recently sold. .380 is a bit too hot for the size of that gun, and despite how much I wanted to love it due to the unique mechanical design and the aesthetics of it - it was just plain painful to shoot. It wasn't a big loss though - when the Romanian Tokarev and .380 HSc departed the collection, a .32 Mauser HSc and Mauser Model 1934 joined.
@electrichand1234 Yes, 7.63x25 Mauser will work in these pistols but it's more expensive than 7.62x25 Tokarev. In truth, the original Russian 7.62 Tokarev loading was almost ballistically identical to 7.63 Mauser.
@DonUzaki Similar in operation as they both pull straight back. I can't comment for all 1911's and all TT-33's - but the Tokarevs I've owned have much more slack in the travel and a rather heavy pull. The 1911's I've used have had shorter pulls and a lighter, crisper break. The Tokarev hammer pack is similar in operation to the 1911's sear and hammer arrangement, but the parts are more compact. The triggers themselves are narrower than a standard 1911 trigger.
my upper army officer told me to go to the store room and choose a pistol, i did a mistake i took long takarov pistol. when i was walking it used to lift up with the leather holder and hit me back in the leg so i put string around it and tie up to my leg, anyone saw me like that had a smiley face. my takarov or takarof or tokarev was build in mid 60s in Czechoslovakia, i loved it altought it was heavy and loud but was good for long distance shooting, bullets were hard to find.
@BLOODYCLQ Sounds like you had a Vz.52 pistol - the Czech service pistol chambered in 7.62x25 Tokarev. The Czech military did not adopt the Tokarev but began producing their Vz.52 design in 1952. It was used until 1982 when the Vz.82 was introduced.
@DrakeGmbH i never new the model, all i had on the bottom Czech 64 label. it was taking 8 bullets in magazine. it was loud and heavy long black pistol, i remember it was a long distance shooting pistol. i proud wit it, i used to get 20 free bullets from army and i was trying to buy bullets by myself from gun shops mostly order it and pick up 3 4 weeks later, it was using 7.62mm bullets, 2 years after i gave it back and took 14+1 baretta pistol.
@LuckyStrike92x Not exactly. Only the trigger, barrel bushing and barrel lock were borrowed from Browning's M1911. The hammer pack is a unique design as is the takedown system, extractor, firing pin, grip panel retainers and magazine catch.
@foughtwolf On both my Romanian and Polish the triggers were decent. Not match-grade but not too gritty. They both seem to act the same way - a lot of slack then a stiff but short pull. Easy to pull shots to the side if you get too impatient with the trigger.
@Gunluver1 From the factory they only have a half cock notch to prevent you from accidentally discharging the pistol while lowering the hammer on a loaded chamber.
Imported guns have a trigger block safety installed. This only serves to lock the trigger, not the sear. The best way to make this gun safe is to remove the magazine and empty the chamber.
@zmon49 Yes, this gun was made by Cugir Arsenal in Romania. The proper name is TTC - Tulskiy Tokarev Cugir. Same gun, different manufacturer for a different military.
@dpchief117 It's chambered in 7.62x25. The design is closer to the FN M1907 - itself a derivative of the Colt 1903 Hammerless. The barrel locking lugs, swinging barrel link and magazine catch were modifications of the M1911 design. The cartridge was chosen since it was already in service with a large number of C96 pistols purchased from Germany in the 1920's.
The Tokarev and of course the design of it is almost 30 years younger than that from the Colt 1911. The Colt was designed alsmost at the beginning of the 19th century. The Tokarev was more or less a copy of the Colt for the second world war! But compare these two pistoles, the Colt in design looks more like it was designed shortly before WW2 and the Tokarev 30 years later... Communist baroque design LOL
Not particularly. A bit snappier than a 9mm but the grip angle forces your hand into a bit of an uncomfortable position which exaggerates the recoil. The Steyr-Hahn is the same way.
Hard to find Russian TT-33's in the US due to the import bans from Russia. I've seen a few but they had no bluing left and the sellers were asking upwards of $700-900.
I've recently bought a Polish TT-33, I believe it's properly called a Wz.48.
All of your videos are superb, and I am extremely envious of your collection. I have the same pistol. Purchased it because ammo is scarce for other calibers, but the 7.62x25 is still super cheap and readily available. It is a fine weapon. Keep the videos coming!
Sounds about right. Not too many Russian Tokarevs made it into the US so they carry premium prices.
The Polish pistols are nicer than the Romanians - but I couldn't seem to get my hands on one when I had the itch. I settled on this one since I found it locally at a show.
That gun sounds angry when it fires!
I want it ._.

is this gun good power wise, cause im looking for a cheaper gun to take to the boundery waters to keep bears away
soixe1997 1 year ago
@soixe1997
its about the size of a .32 ACP round, so I would NOT trust it for bears. The rounds a fast little bugger, but I dont think its getting through a bear skull.
foughtwolf 1 year ago
@soixe1997 For "bear medicine" I'd want a .45-70 lever gun or a 12 gauge loaded with hardened slugs. If I had to use a handgun, I'd be grabbing a .44 Mag revolver from Smith or Ruger.
RaderizDorret 1 year ago
@soixe1997 Perfect gun, not only for bears but for many situations...and yes it will go through bear or moose skull without problem. In WW2 when Soviets executed Germans ..to save a bullets they shoot up to five soldiers in a line with one round. I own two of them and this pistol is very accurate at 50 m. I also like it's "uncomfortable" and short handle, because it allows to shoot faster from different angles..this is AK of pistols.
scuba36fun 1 year ago
@scuba36fun Right. My Grandfather survived because the bullet startet to tumble in the second or third head. The hit of the bullet in the fourth head (a badly raped nurse) covered his face with blood, bones and brain. He stayed cool and dropped like the others. Lucky the russians didn't use their knifes to stay secure. He was a doctor who never shot anyone. The others were three badly misstreated and abused young nurses (by the russians) and his 19 year old assistent. Not cool. War is bullshit.

I have a Romanian TTC as well. The barrel I got was stainless and absolute rubbish, but the trigger was great. Once I swapped the barrel for a Norinco chrome-lined barrel, it turned into a really fine gun. Yeah, the sights suck, and the slide lock doesn't engage very well... and I had to alter the mag follower to keep it from catching on the release pin... but it's fun, accurate, and cheap to feed!

@DrakeGmbH I was wondering, is there any relation or difference between the Tokarev and Makarov pistols? I googled it, but can't for the life of me get an easy enough answer for it. Nice gun!
joshuak901 1 year ago
@joshuak901 Not from a design standpoint. The Makarov replaced the Tokarev as the standard service pistol in the Soviet military. The TT-33 was designed by Fedor Tokarev in 1930 and the PM was designed by Nikolay Makarov in the early 1950's. The Tokarev uses a short recoil system with a swinging link barrel. The Makarov uses a direct blowback system with a fixed barrel.

@DrakeGmbH So it's rather like a 1911 with less safeties?
John234pwns 1 year ago
@joshuak901 The Tokarev (as designed) has no manual safety aside from a half-cock notch and has a single action trigger. The Makarov has a thumb safety/decocker lever and has a double action/single action trigger.
DrakeGmbH 1 year ago 3
@joshuak901 The Tok uses a Browning link system and a much higher pressure round than the Mak. The Tok also uses very simple safeties. It's a copy of an old Colt. The Mak is an improved copy of the Walter PP using a round slightly more powerful than the 380 ACP. Soviet designers reduced the parts count of the Walter, made use of more investment castings and did a nice job with the entire system. However the round for the Mak is pretty anemic.

Choncho203 1 year ago
@Choncho203 I sold it because I had bought a Polish Tokarev last winter. Yes, it was decently accurate. The triggers aren't great but the sights are large and clear which made it a bit easier to shoot than the Vz.52. Not quite as comfortable, though.

@DrakeGmbH @yourredcomrade717 is it really worth buying another Tokarev based on my situation? I got a man handled beat up Polish one that looked good on the outside but the internals have been giving problems. Hammer light strikes, feeding ramp and throat needs to be constantly repolished, the slide stop doesnt engage w/out maganize inserted, and now the spring is acting up, im also scared my slide is getting bent out of shape. is it possible as hot as the round is, it just slowly destroys it

i recall reading on one of your webley post that they were your favorite to shoot (cant help but agree there - love mine ;o). where does the tokarev rank in your arsenal? what do YOU think about it? i dont know anything about them, personally....
nganir 1 year ago
@nganir Well I wouldn't still own one if they weren't at least fun to shoot. Compared to some of my other semiauto pistols the Tokarev has a unique (and somewhat unnerving) looseness and 'clankiness' to it when fired. It's accurate but the recoil is a bit violent and the flash with some ammo is impressive. That's a good part of the gun though - a Colt 1903-sized pistol belching a fireball like that. It's not my favorite shooter, but it's not last in line.
DrakeGmbH 1 year ago
@nganir The last place was previously occupied by a Mauser HSc in .380 - which I just recently sold. .380 is a bit too hot for the size of that gun, and despite how much I wanted to love it due to the unique mechanical design and the aesthetics of it - it was just plain painful to shoot. It wasn't a big loss though - when the Romanian Tokarev and .380 HSc departed the collection, a .32 Mauser HSc and Mauser Model 1934 joined.
DrakeGmbH 1 year ago

electrichand1234 1 year ago
@electrichand1234 Yes, 7.63x25 Mauser will work in these pistols but it's more expensive than 7.62x25 Tokarev. In truth, the original Russian 7.62 Tokarev loading was almost ballistically identical to 7.63 Mauser.

Hey, how does the TT-33's trigger compare to a plain 1911's trigger?
DonUzaki 1 year ago
@DonUzaki Similar in operation as they both pull straight back. I can't comment for all 1911's and all TT-33's - but the Tokarevs I've owned have much more slack in the travel and a rather heavy pull. The 1911's I've used have had shorter pulls and a lighter, crisper break. The Tokarev hammer pack is similar in operation to the 1911's sear and hammer arrangement, but the parts are more compact. The triggers themselves are narrower than a standard 1911 trigger.
DrakeGmbH 1 year ago
my upper army officer told me to go to the store room and choose a pistol, i did a mistake i took long takarov pistol. when i was walking it used to lift up with the leather holder and hit me back in the leg so i put string around it and tie up to my leg, anyone saw me like that had a smiley face. my takarov or takarof or tokarev was build in mid 60s in Czechoslovakia, i loved it altought it was heavy and loud but was good for long distance shooting, bullets were hard to find.
BLOODYCLQ 1 year ago
@BLOODYCLQ Sounds like you had a Vz.52 pistol - the Czech service pistol chambered in 7.62x25 Tokarev. The Czech military did not adopt the Tokarev but began producing their Vz.52 design in 1952. It was used until 1982 when the Vz.82 was introduced.
DrakeGmbH 1 year ago
@DrakeGmbH i never new the model, all i had on the bottom Czech 64 label. it was taking 8 bullets in magazine. it was loud and heavy long black pistol, i remember it was a long distance shooting pistol. i proud wit it, i used to get 20 free bullets from army and i was trying to buy bullets by myself from gun shops mostly order it and pick up 3 4 weeks later, it was using 7.62mm bullets, 2 years after i gave it back and took 14+1 baretta pistol.

@foughtwolf On both my Romanian and Polish the triggers were decent. Not match-grade but not too gritty. They both seem to act the same way - a lot of slack then a stiff but short pull. Easy to pull shots to the side if you get too impatient with the trigger.

Gunluver1 1 year ago
@Gunluver1 From the factory they only have a half cock notch to prevent you from accidentally discharging the pistol while lowering the hammer on a loaded chamber.
Imported guns have a trigger block safety installed. This only serves to lock the trigger, not the sear. The best way to make this gun safe is to remove the magazine and empty the chamber.

What calibur does this shoot, and did the russians just copy our beloved 1911 on this one?
dpchief117 1 year ago
@dpchief117 It's chambered in 7.62x25. The design is closer to the FN M1907 - itself a derivative of the Colt 1903 Hammerless. The barrel locking lugs, swinging barrel link and magazine catch were modifications of the M1911 design. The cartridge was chosen since it was already in service with a large number of C96 pistols purchased from Germany in the 1920's.

The Tokarev and of course the design of it is almost 30 years younger than that from the Colt 1911. The Colt was designed alsmost at the beginning of the 19th century. The Tokarev was more or less a copy of the Colt for the second world war! But compare these two pistoles, the Colt in design looks more like it was designed shortly before WW2 and the Tokarev 30 years later... Communist baroque design LOL

Not particularly. A bit snappier than a 9mm but the grip angle forces your hand into a bit of an uncomfortable position which exaggerates the recoil. The Steyr-Hahn is the same way.

Hard to find Russian TT-33's in the US due to the import bans from Russia. I've seen a few but they had no bluing left and the sellers were asking upwards of $700-900.

It's a side effect of the poor grip angle, relatively lightweight pistol and high velocity cartridge.
