@vladimirlegorocks Well the TT33 design is Russian, but almost all Russian designs were disseminated into the other countries of the Eastern Bloc. Romania, Poland, China, Russia, Hungary, etc. all made TT33 style pistols under various names with various different features (in various calibers as well, including 9x18 Makarov, 9x19 Luger, and I think a .32ACP version was made at one point).
Am I correct in saying that the TT-33 (which has an external hammer) is a Russian knock-off of the Colt model 1903 pocket hammerless (which has a hidden hammer)?
@MyUserName12332 A lot of people say that because there's quite a bit external resemblance, but it's more based on the FN Model 1903 (similar in design, but not the same gun). In either case, it's not fair to call it a knock-off or copy since it incorporates a few significant changes and even improvements over the preceding design, such as a modular hammer assembly, increased tolerance for damaged mags, and uses a bottlenecked cartridge that aids in more reliable feeding.
@adriandagangster There's a few custom wood panels as well that will provide a better backstrap angle. It's not a big enough deal to me to change the grips. The only guns I've needed to change grips for shooting comfort were my S&W M1917 and C.96.
@xzqzq get the TT. The cz is less accurate, because the barrel sits pretty high, no matter how close to the top, of the grip, your hands are. Plus the TT uses browning style locking, like 1911.
@adriandagangster I wouldn't say the CZ is any less accurate than the TT - if anything it's more mechanically accurate due to the roller-locked action's straight-line operation. The TT lacks the CZ's firing pin safety which translates to a lighter trigger pull but my TT's haven't had a smoother trigger pull. They both have a harsh grip angle but the CZs grips fit my hand better. The TT's sights are considerably larger than the CZ's which is a definite benefit for target shooting.
@adriandagangster What are you talking about? The CZ pistols out rank any and every Russian pistol. Most Russian pistols are knock offs of other formidable guns. TT33 off of the Colt 1911. Makarov, off of the PPK, and there are more examples you can research. The CZ has a low bore axis. The guide rails are on the slide itself giving it a lower seating point, and the rails on the frame are virtually full length. Creating a low recoil, easy shooting, accurate firearm. NATO approved, next to Glock.
How do you like the TT33 compared to the CZ52 ? I am interested in the 7.62 Tok round, and would like to get a pistol chambered for it.... Would love to see a test of .30 sabots, with .223 40 gr bullets., and the results.... FSP should be @ 3000+...
Ever handled one of the Romanian Tokarevs with the aftermarket safety styled similar to a 1911? J&G Sales is selling them now and I'm darn tempted to get my hands on one. Not sure if that safety is any more trustworthy than the others or not (if ANY of the import-mandated added safeties can be trusted AT ALL), but it certainly appears to be more ergonomic in function...
Mine is a lovely shooter - I picked it up in what I believe to be unfired condition for about 235 bucks with taxes. I was surprised at the formidable power it seems to pack. At present I am attempting to either locate an un-drilled frame, or to find a qualified gunsmith who will fill the hole in the frame for me. I hate the safety. Reminds me of more pointless government intervention.
@craigdge I ended up selling this pistol because I bought a Polish Tokarev. Very fun to shoot but I also wish the safety wasn't there. My local gunsmith doesn't want anything to do with removing a safety so I'll have to find another way. Cold rolled plugs trimmed for a tight press-fit would be a nice solution but I don't have any tools to make those myself nor have I ever seen any plugs for sale. A shame as there is obviously a market for them among milsurp shooters.
I would remove the safety asap. They can interfere the operation. I run mine without any inserts, however I have friends who have gone the plug route. You won't notice any operational difficulties without the safety in though.
@1999CSVT This particular pistol was already sold but I disabled the safety in my Polish Tokarev. I installed a smooth-faced trigger that lacks the safety lug so it cannot lock the trigger. The lever isn't hurting anything by keeping the holes plugged.
@s0beit Yeah,but in my country,its the only handgun,that can pierce the police vest.And its not like there arent other pistols around.Thats why its not allowed for civilian use in my country.
Cheap and inexpensive and morever jams frequently.. I had a friend do some customizing like file down the inside of the frame to help with the jamming sequence.
Norinco Tokarevss are even worse you are better off buying an AK-47 or SKS for a more dependable BANG 4 the BUCK gun.
Russians are hard to come by. When I've seen them for sale, they are around $700-900. I recently bought a Polish Tokarev so I'm selling this Romanian.

@drakedmbh u should get "tokagypt" grips. They're upgrades grips, from the Egyptian tt33, which seem to make the grip better, for some people.
