I seen it in the latest American Rifleman on page 53. Does anyone know anything about it?

I have yet to see one "in the flesh" but I am also interested.
It is clearly a Toakrev based design. There are several on Gunbroker.
Price is reasonable for a steel frame auto - really about what you pay for decent used gun.
 
I'm curious about this one too. I really like my Norinco Tok. Super flat pistol. I do wonder how the safety works.
 
I handled one about a month ago. The shop wanted $260 for them(they had 2). It felt pretty good. If I hadn't been waiting on my P6 from AIM, I would have probably got one.
 
Definate Yugoslavian, excuse me, Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovines, or whatever they want to call themselves now, can't we all just get along,,,,,
Zastava was the name of the production facility at one time.

Iffy shipping and production will make spare magazines and parts a catch as catch can proposition.

Anybody remember the Zastava M70 .32acp pistol?
Anybody ever find any spare magazines for these little gems of ex-Com-Bloc manufacturing?
 
Too bad Zastava does not still list a 10mm model. That would make for a very slim single stack gun at an affordable price for the caliber. Perhaps EAA will revisit that given their dedication to the cartridge.

I'm interested in it, even with that backwards safety on the slide. I love the Tok. I've been shooting one every week since 1992. It is the most accurate and reliable pistol I own. It looks like the M88 is basically a Tok that was adapted around the 9x19 so as to have a smaller grip than those designed around the 7.62. Then they chopped 2 inches off the barrel. This should be a very concealable pistol.
 
I hope not.:uhoh: A single action auto is pretty useless without cocked & locked capability. Someone should call EAA and ask. Their phone number is: (321) 639-4842 Ext. 10
 
Hello everyone!
First post. I was looking for info on this very pistol so i thought I'd share my observations.

I got to handle one of these the other day at a surplus store in Spokane.

The saftey does not drop the hammer! The gun can indeed be carried cocked and locked.
"Up" is fire, "down" is safe. Since the safety is slide mounted it feels a bit odd, but nothing one can't get used to.

I stripped the gun, the trigger group comes out in one chunk, just like any other Tok. The grips come off like any other Tok.

It has a magazine disconnect device.
However, it looked very easy to remove.

Heh, it comes with a tiny brass padlock and has a hole in one butt to lock the magazine out of the weapon. That, combined with the magazine disconnector no doubt helps make the gun importable.

I was quite temped to buy the little thing. It was quite flat and would make a nice carry gun...If you can find a holster to fit it...

The price tag was about $280.00 and it only came with one mag.
Remembering the days of the Chinese guns I thought it was a little over priced. I hope the cost on these come down because for some reason it really felt good in my hand and I sure wouldn't mind one!

They do have EAA carved on 'em, but EAAs web site does not list 'em. i wonder what's up with that. :confused:
 
Looked at one, fairly small and Tok thin but fit and finish was so-so, synth grips were lame.

Too much $ for what it is IMOP...I'd rather drop another $75-100 and get another Sig P6.
