Range Time! Shooting the Romanian TTC Tokarev Pistol in 7.62x25mm.

[@comradejimmy3411]

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]

Thanks 4 the likes ! I didn't expect that many peapole to like my comment . You guys are awesome !

[@_sp1r4L_]

@@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)

[@coltpiecemaker]

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!

[@gabeelkins9059]

Yugo mausers aren't too bad. SKS isn't too unreasonable either, shit you can even get beretta cheetahs for like 200.

[@tullo5564]

You are right, the original TTs do not have that safety. They only come with a hammer lock. This gun is a masterpiece

I live in north wisconsin too and i love it here, except in the dead of winter! Cabin fever is real!

[@a1phamalestud]

I feel bad for the fudd trying to load those cases that he can’t use

[@MultiTeleporter]

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.

I love my M57. By far my favorite pistol to shoot. It’s just good old fashion fun.

[@bonoandlavin]

I have a Yugo M57 kinda a variant to the TT-33 family as well. Love it.

[@MikeB128]

Yeah I do too, and talked about it in the video. My favorite variant.

[@brianerli]

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.

[@TheBrassGoblin762]

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.

[@kagkag1325]

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

[@ricjenner1120]

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"

[@MikeB128]

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

[@christopherconard2831]

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.

[@MikeB128]

That's fairly accurate, not totally BS.

[@danielparlaman1029]

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.

[@MikeB128]

Definitely want to get a Polish one next. Then I'll have Yugo M57, Romanian TTC and a Polish TT-33. Absolutely love the TT design.

[@pippupaladin]

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.
