[QUOTE="MP43, post: 3706981, member: 1631"] Yes, pre-war Russian TT-33. Very cool. Do you happen to know its history? Many of the 1940 and earlier dated TT-33s n the US are GI bring backs from WWII. The Germans captured large numbers of these during the initial Soviet invasion, which they promptly reissued to their own troops. The western allies subsequently confiscated many from surrendering Germans in the latter stages of the war. Although designed for the Soviet 7.62x25mm cartridge, they can also shoot German 7.63x25 Mauser rounds, which is one reason they were so widely reissued. They're decent guns. I have a Polish copy and like it. Trigger pull isn't anything to write home about, but accuracy is completely acceptable for a military pistol, it's been totally reliable, and the 7.62x25 cartridge is a hot round. They used to be a relatively cheap gun to shoot, but the supply of surplus Czech and Hungarian 7.62 dried up a few years ago. Anyhow, congratulations. It looks like you have a really nice, un-molested example. [/QUOTE]
