The TTC was my grandfather service weapon and he was more accurate than his boss with the Makarov because of his long barrel and higher bullet velocity
@@comradejimmy3411 Știu (I know)...that's why I hate about Romanian cops,they changed something good (Romanian Tokarev TT-33 or TTC) into something that is the opposite of good (Carpați pistol)
The only issues I ever had with my M57 was the Trigger safety (the model classic firearms had) and it treated my fingers horribly! And my M57 destroyed its guide rod, so I replaced both the trigger and the rod with TT-33 parts and it fixed the issues. I know that doesnt keep it original, but for something I actively and like using it seemed worth it to me.
Yeah the 52 is nice, though the sear on mine decided to die a couple of weeks ago and crumble into three little pieces. Had to replace it with a new one.
@@MikeB128 If he buys them I will manufacture them for 40 percent and we can split the shipping cost. I have a unique high quality manufacturing process.
I have two Russian tokarevs and here in Canada we don't have the import safety added so they are nice in original condition. I love my Tokarev definitely my favourite semi auto handgun. Thanks for everything you do Mike Love your channel
I was gifted one of these a couple of years ago - my first and only handgun. I've enjoyed it immensely , and I'm trying to learn more about the history behind it. Mine looks basically the same, except it doesn't say "Cugir", just "made in Romania"
I love my M57. It is such a fun gun to shoot. One of the issues I have run into with my gun is that it shoots very low. The groupings are consistent in terms of windage, but it is about 10 inches low at 7-10 yards. I suspected it was something I was doing, but even from a rest it is super low. It doesn't sound like it is a common issue with these guns. I guess it is just my particular pistol. I've thought about filling the front sight, but I hate to do it since it is such a clean example. I don't typically shoot that low with any other gun. Regardless, I still enjoy shooting it.
I'd say it's still worth filing down. I filled down my Tokarev rear sights because it shot ridiculously high and was driving me nuts. I don't think modifying the sights really diminish the personal value to me.
I just got a CZ-52 a couple of weeks ago and just got it out to the range! It was a blast to shoot. I’m applying for a C&R since I live in communist land and if/when I get it a ttc is the first thing I want to buy
About 30 years ago, when they started coming into the American market I read that the ammo was loaded a little hotter because Russia didn't want separate loads for pistols and SMGs. So they split the difference. I don't know how accurate that is, but there is some logic to it.
Had the option to get an m57 or a Romanian tokarev I picked the m57 it was nicer plus 1 more round I enjoyed shooting it my only issues with the gun is the ammo is kind of a pain in the ass to find in my area and if I do find some it would be expensive.
Do you know if TT-33 and M57 barrels are interchangeable? I have a new M57 and I bought a comp for it but the barrels on the new ones are too THICC. My M57 really means a lot to me so I'd love to make it work with the comp if possible.
I bought a polish one 2 weeks ago, first gun I ever bought and owned. I love the thing to death, I have a soft spot for combloc guns. I think the heavy, robust designs are so cool. I ran 100 rounds of S&B ammo in it and it ate it all with no issues. Interesting that you only shoot the surplus stuff, I know it would make sense that it's loaded the hottest, and it's hard to find a lot of numbers for the round, but I've heard quite a few people claim S&B loads it the hottest pushing 1600fps or so on average, even more so than the surplus. Just an interesting thought.
I got one in December. I like the gun a lot but with the shipping/customer service issues, I will NOT buy from that company again. You know who they are.
Much of the ammo you can get surplus is for submachine guns and is a bit hit. Of course the guns are a bit of sturdy so it’s not a big issue especially considering the price.
@@MikeB128 ah, sorry i didnt want to be mean, i was really suprised you have that jacket and flags, be like Im wearing them literaly everyday, (Military School in Poland). So, where you got them?
@@oskarpilkarz I sell military surplus from around the world. I wear what works. Polish Surplus is good stuff. My heritage is 1/2 Polish. There's your answer. Also, watch my video where I say pretty clearly "Using 1950s Polish Surplus 7.62x25"..................
Agreed. The communists, in true fashion, just ripped off the 7.63 Mauser cartridge and made it a little more spicy with a slightly smaller diameter bullet.
I didn't like the way you aggressively threw down the pistol before taking it to the range. Your handling of that is dangerous and best and neglectful at worst. Shame on you. Disliked.

It honestly feels like the Tokarev is one of the last low-cost surplus weapons available. I got my M57 not too long ago and I enjoy it immensely!
Yugo mausers aren't too bad. SKS isn't too unreasonable either, shit you can even get beretta cheetahs for like 200.
I feel bad for the fudd trying to load those cases that he can’t use
Tokarev variants are awesome, I just bought a Polish one recently.
Polish are the for quality.
I live in north wisconsin too and i love it here, except in the dead of winter! Cabin fever is real!
You are right, the original TTs do not have that safety. They only come with a hammer lock. This gun is a masterpiece

Cugir is just the city/factory it was made at. Some import marks have it, some don't. They're great pistols either way.

That's fairly accurate, not totally BS.
Cool vid!
Try a yugo mag, they work fine and give a grip extension of sorts.
I've made videos on that....It doesn't expand the grip, just makes it more awkward and uncomfortable....

Get some from sgammo.com thay have 100s of thousands of rounds of 7.62x25 for sale
Just got a chinese type 54 for my collection got a yugo M57 already looking to get a romanian ttc next
Quite a nice jacket there

pretty impressive
but one problem

Why don’t they import them with the trigger safety’s instead? That way you can drop a replacement trigger in there and be done with it
