Historic Romanian TTC Tokarev pistol

Amazing how little recoil they have with that high v round. And as you’ve noted, it will zip through all kevlar we’ve run it against so far. The privi Partisan ammo runs flawlessly in the variants. I got the nine round mag version and few extra mags.
The CZ 52 pistol is a roller-locked short recoil–operated, detachable box magazine–fed, single-action, semi-automatic pistol chambered for the 7.62×25mm Tokarev cartridge
If you want to put a trigger stop on that I think I still have an Autocad drawing of how to do it. Mine had a bad case of trigger slap an a lot of over travel. Instead of putting a set screw in the trigger I drilled through the top of the frame so the screw hits the top of the trigger. Where did the grips come from?
Know anyone who’s tried the .223 Timbs Accelerator round?
Took your advice and got the TTC a while back. Very nice pistol. Accurate and loud. My standard summer carry these days. Will definitely look into the CZ52
I think Squantos.
Fun video!
Yep, for the price it’s hard to beat.
That’s not my pistol, but close. I just grabbed that image off the net. I think my tulipwood grips were made by Hogue. (Got them at a gun show).
Later
Sights are kind of tiny, but otherwise good to go. Get an extra firing pin, the original steel was brittle and dry-firing can break them. Not so the new pins.
It’s a very cool take down, with the two roller pins like a baby G-3 rifle.
Good idea wrt the pin. I replaced all of the springs, but I did not replace the firing pin. Got a good source?
I’m looking at the CZ-52 as you have peaked my interest. Nice gun. Incidentally, my Tokarev was less than half the price of a CZ and is readily available for under 250.

I use to have one of those before it sank to the bottom of the local lake. I paid as much for the spare mags as I did for the pistol.
