I had a dream last night I bought one of the Chinese Type 54 Tokarev 7.62x25mm pistols on the market now ... Is that a sign? Always wanted a Tokarev as a companion to my Makarov. Ammo is available and not as terribly inflated as other rounds.
I had a CZ52 which I would recommend that was purpose built and shot well.Asking THR if I should buy a gun?
The biggest bunch of enablers on the internet!
where would you get the ammo?
I take that back ... I guess ammo is available and priced OK ... So get the gun.Ammo is available and not as terribly inflated as other rounds.
I also have a 9x19 barrel for a TT-33. Works fine.... (That, and you can switch a CZ-52 to 9x19 with just a barrel swap what with the roller locking to lock the thing up.) ...
Very nice! You have skills.I literally made a holster for mine last night. ...

I'd suggest a Zastava since it's got the longer grip frame and loads more rounds....., Always wanted a Tokarev as a companion to my Makarov. Ammo is available and not as terribly inflated as other rounds.
Thoughts?
One thing people don't often take into account is the magazines.I'd suggest a Zastava since it's got the longer grip frame and loads more rounds.

Grip panels are a little worn, but it shoots fine. Try to find one without import marks and after-market safety.
The blade safety is the best option. To legally import these pistols the importer has to add a safety. Previously they marred the gun by drilling a hole in the frame to add a thumb safety that didn't even work well. These blade safeties can be removed and replaced with a standard trigger and you then have an original pistol.Go ahead if you want.
I think they're ugly, but the engineering always sounded interesting.
That's an interesting pic. Is that a trigger blade safety?
I have never used a forum before. I have the chance to buy a CHINESE TYPE 54 BY NORINCO that is in excellent & unfired condition for $500. I haven't been able to find another unfired one to see what it is worth.I am afraid this is an old thread & no one will see it but having never used a forum before I am not sure how to post. I am pretty sure it won't last at this price but I don't know if being unfired would have a big influance on it's value or notI had a dream last night I bought one of the Chinese Type 54 Tokarev 7.62x25mm pistols on the market now.
