Nice video, but I don't think that the ammo is cheap for this gun. Don't get me wrong. I love mine and the gun itself is cheap, but the 7.62 x 25mm runs about $21 for a box of 50. Compare that to 9mm which is around $15. Granted, it's not super expensive, but it's not what I would classify as cheap. The harder thing is finding it though. I've had to order all my ammo online.
@MrBeast758 They both have similar shape except TT33 has a more vertical grip. They both must have the recoil spring depressed before rotating the barrel bushing, and releasing the pressure of the spring. They both must have the slide stop removed before the slide can be taken off (However the TT has an actual way of locking the slide stop in place whereas the 1911 doesn't). The barrel bushing/recoil spring/barrel are all removed the same way. The rest is different/simplified.
@MrBeast758 To say it's it's a very different gun from the 1911? You must be blind. This design is totally borrowed from Browning and The Colt 1911, the barrel, the link, the spring differs, but is the same place, the barrel bushing, what are you, insane?
Has any one else found and Finnish ammo? I bought 10 25rd boxes from 1954. I cant find out any details on it besides it was repacked and was considered "inferior quality" on the box. I dont want to shoot it, its just a historical value to me...
@PrepSurvivor No prob, I was watching a bunch of cz vids first and dident notice this vid was for a TT, so the cz52grips site might not help you, but this one will.... marschalgrips(.)com good luck
@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
@ Notlkeman: Just like regular ammo cleanup, we just make sure to clean thoroughly as soon as we get back home. Have 3, and 12 mags; never jams. You see my 5 mag dump video? These guns are not the most accurate, but a supreme hoot to shoot, and easy to load. Just love 'em.
We get the corrosive Eastern European ammo, in bulk, for like less than 7 cents a round; shoot the living crap out of it with no jams. Just clean the beast when we are home drinking Yuenglings. See my 5-mag dump video with no jams ever.
I kill a large cocodrile than atack me while I was spining fishing at san juan river nicaragua with a tokarev pistol 7.62 by two times in the head and four in the body
Shot one of these in Poland. It was that old and rattly, I wasn't sure it was gonna stay in one piece.
The Soviets apparently issued two types of ammo; pistol, for the Tokarev and sub-machinegun, for the PPsh, which was a lot more powerful, though visually identical.
Looks great and comfortable also with that grip. Where'd you get the hogue grip from? I got a Yugo one coming. I know they're a bit larger and heavier bulit, what grip might fit on it? You think they have a slightly larger one?
@Omnignosis I'm also waiting on a Yugo Tok, The houge slip on grip i have for the Romanian is the full size one. Though i had to trim it to fit. I think the full sized slip on grip will be just right for the Yugo.
@theArmedJanitor Thanks, I just use a slip on Hougue grip sleeve. It's the full size one but i had to trim a little bit of it. I think the smaller slip on houge grip would be a lot better.
These used to be really popular over here in the early 90's in the criminal circles. One of the reasons was the rounds excellent performance against body armor.
I like the intro. As far as the video quality, I can't really tell a difference.
I think Rugersix said something about those "behind the trigger" safeties being retrofitted so that they could be imported. Is that true? If so, does that mean they had to be carried in single action with no safety? or uncocked? I could be having a lapse of memory.
@Riflemanm16a2 yea seems like it's all in the encoding, didn't really notice a difference in quality also. Rugersix was correct they do have install manual safeties to bring them in. I guess the originals were carried without a round in the chamber or chambered and hammer down or half cocked.
@dakine425 I love the intro brother a bit like Pete's but not lol !!!! Cheap gun with a manstopper round bro reminds me of a Lorcirin !!! Camera quality is spot on good stuff
@SauerTongues4 Yup it does looks similar to Pete's, I actually got the idea from a Call of Duty video on youtube. Thanks for checking out the video. Hopefully i'll have more time to make more.
An uncle of mine picked one of these up and he loves it! I have never seen the 7.62X25 untell I saw that pistol. Weird seeing this video today. Great video bro, nice intro
@Goindeff You should definitely get one, they're cheap and the ammo is also cheaper compared to the other calibers. It's a good work horse. Would look good next to your AK
Superior since 1930, i just love it
