Polish TT-33: Should I?

[nwilliams]

J&G is selling Polish TT-33's for $250, should I grab one while I have the chance or pass it by and maybe regret it later?

I have no experience with these guns and honestly don't know if this is a good deal or not.

The Poles make nicely finished and put together firearms. If you want a 7.62x25 pistol you can't go wrong with a Polish TT. Much better than the CZ-52 IMHO and they seem to be better than the Romanian TTs that I've handled.

I consider Polish Tokarevs to be some of the best in fit and finish.
Polish AKM rifles are some of the best of the best too, the only better ones are Bulgarian.

I just bought one from them. I'm very happy with it. It's got some use and wear, but had a good bore.

It's amazing how much this gun is like the 1911.

I went down with the intention of buying one but after I looked at them I decided to pass. Even the sales clerk down there said how unhappy they were with the batch they got and he said this was the last batch they would buy because they were so disappointed. That's what I like about them down there, at least they're honest.

I love how on the side its marked "Made in Polish" I just found that funny.

The real Russian ones are first rate. I think Russian rifles are a bit better than the Polish rifles. Most of the new Russian weapons are first rate and feature a myriad of add ons.
As for the Tokarevs I would prefer a Polish one to a Russian tokarev. That is ignoring collector value. I really want a North Korean tokarev as a collectible, but they started making those after the Korean war.
