TT-33 pistol in action - Guns of the 1956 Revolution Part III

[@fuloplengyel2585]

I remembered when I was 15 years Old, I was in Budapest in a museum and actually held one these. I remember it being really bully and sturdy in my hand.

[@austoful]

you may find the grip uncomfortable to fire in the modern 2 handed style, but at the time soldiers were trained to shoot one handed.

[@DPMConnacht]

Nice review of the TT-33. From the day I first became aware of your KZbin channel it has been among my favourite....and, as always, great video! Many, many, thanks.

[@jwhiskey242]

I carried one as on-off duty gun. Never failed to get attention.

[@Jerry-cz6fu]

I own 5, 1-chinese (9mm), 1-Polish, and 3-Romanian I find them fun and cheap to shoot and for the price they are hard to beat. For me they make an ideal truck gun and stash pistol.

[@-nuclearwaste3593]

I have the new zastava version. I think it sucks cus i can't hit anything. my front sight appears bent to the left. are any of your like that? any info would help. thank you.

[@soothsayerofthedarkandexis8525]

Hello, I love your series on the firearms of the 1956 revolution. Here in America it isn't a part of history we are taught but I read a novel about the American Central Intelligence Agency throughout the Cold War and there is a very long chapter in the book that takes place in Budapest during the revolution and it follows the rebels' story as they fight in the city. It is a beautifully written piece that really shows how courageous the rebels were when they stood up against the soviet red army. There was a passage in the book of the leader of the rebels playing violin music as the smoke rose above the city during the fighting. Oddly though, the significant firearm talked about in the book is a Webley-Fosberry for some reason, the rebel leader carries one then passes it to a girl who, as she is killed by the red army in the fighting, gives it to the American agent, to "always remember Hungary and the bravery of its people."

[@Bigdaddylobo1]

As a Hungarian-American (family name Tegyi) I enjoy the way you add in some Hungarian history into your channel. I am looking to start collecting a few FEG handguns. I have a Yugo version TT-33 M57. Keep up the good work!

[@kerr2574]

The TT-33 guns are very comfortable to hold. I own 2 of them. Much more comfortable to hold than a S&W Shield M&P.

[@the-kilted-trucker59]

Have 2 tt-33 both have the 7.62 and 9mm barrels plus a 57. All 3 are my favorites to take to the range. Reloading is a bit of a bugger though.

[@ethanross5919]

[@KossoffFan]

One of my favorites as well. Id carry a Tokarev over a 9mm any day of the week.

It was interesting seeing your take to the TT33...keep enjoying shooting!

wonderful design smooth and grip is perfect

[@hydjrasierra1557]

[@charlesmckinley29]

A good review of a great pistol.

[@themexican3278]

Hello from California I just purchased a Yugoslavian M57 tokarev 7.62x25 This video was very useful thank you 👍

[@glennredwine289]

Isn't the Yugoslav M-57 unregisterable in California, Mr. Mexican?

[@tsuobachi]

I've never once thought it was uncomfortable. I guess maybe it depends on your hands/grip.

[@DocLarsen44]

I have a couple of Yugo pistols that are very similar; the grip is a little longer and I believe they hold 1 more round than the TT variants. One of these I do not shoot as it is an older one carrying the country's crest on the slide. The other is a post-war model that I love to shoot and I love the 7.62X25 Tokarev round which I consider a very hot round. I am very happy that Starline Brass has started manufacturing the Tokarev brass for reloading! (These later imports carry a slide mounted safety added by Zastava, I believe.)

[@STMwoodturning]

I've enjoyed your latest series of videos about the firearms used in your country's revolution. I have seen or heard about most of them but not all. I have not known much about the revolution but being a history buff, I've enjoyed hearing about it from someone who has first-hand knowledge of the events. Thanks for sharing!

[@corvoattano4777]

I have exactly the same pistol myself. It is an excellent pistol

[@badkarma2202]

Surprisingly great trigger, like the caliber.

[@jaredgreen5840]

I have a Yugoslav in 7.62x25 and using Polish surplus steel core ammo it will shoot through a quarter inch hardened steel plate at 50 yards, this is very impressive for an auto pistol 👍

[@therideneverends1697]

polish ammo is not steel core

[@828enigma6]

The penetration of the 7.62X25 round is astounding. Side note: Do not dry fire the Czech (and others of this design) as it can damage the firing pin.

[@violinjim]

Just bought my first TT. Can't wait to shoot it. Someday you need to meet my friend George. You will get along famously! Thanks for the channel, your videos are awesome!

[@TheRobman139]

While it “obsolete” in the sense that it is no longer in service with military or police, that does not mean that it is truly obsolete in an ultimate sense. After all, the Colt M1911 is no longer in service either, but few would consider that design “obsolete”. With the addition of perhaps some tritium sights, the Serbian Zastava variant with the slide-mounted safety is a very competitive weapon even by today’s standards. And the cartridge is phenomenal; with a JHP projectile, it is nearly the equal of a .357 Magnum. In the hands of someone who takes the time to master its manual of arms, it is a practically ideal firearm/cartridge combination for dealing with an active shooter scenario. Some say it is on the way out, but I would not be surprised if it makes a comeback.

[@tommygun6028]

Yes , the best handgun from 1933 - 2000 . 😎👍🥃😁 Most of popularly was in Europe. 1933 models in good condition can cost up to $1000.00 USA Dollars. Actually it was very comftibule to me.......lol... Good Video My Hungarian friend 😎👍🥃😁

[@tummywubs5071]

I know you are cap and ball, but I am really enjoying modern guns such as these. If you ever want to look at other guns aswell. Please do! Its awesome to watch! Also I know its a part of your history though seeing other guns would be fun aswell! :D keep it up!

[@Nic_odd]

Love this pistol.

[@redandgreendesert1]

What type is the nickel plated pistol in the beginning of this video? Is that another TT?

[@capandball]

Yes, it's also a TT

[@vgamedude12]

As an american its weird to see a TT on a modern video without the absolutely abominable aftermarket safety added to it.

[@hoodoo2001]

I love my Romanian TT. Reminds me of the Colt 1905 .45 ACP in terms of feel and therefore feels like a historic throwback to a simpler age. For me is it extremely comfortable. Of course the 7.62 cartridge does also. . Fits well in the holster or the pocket.

[@alainmorin]

Beautiful! I reload these 7.62 X 25 and they are a blast :-)

[@skyloorepalackov221]

Thanks for posting. Great video

[@nicholaspatton5590]

3:32 What was Joe Pesci doing in Hungary? Was shooting two of these pistols like a dream come true?

[@johnnybgoode1950]

Great pistol, simple and practical design, with really powerful cartridge. For me it's only major shortcoming is that the lack of a safety makes it questionable to carry with a round in the chamber. I don't know what would happen if it got dropped with the hammer in half cock position.

[@Albukhshi]

~1:20 Is that Persian, Turkish, or Arab? I'm thinking Persian, but any feedback is appreciated.

[@woodsmanforlife1677]

Thanks for posting! I almost bought me one, ammo shortage kept me from doing so.

[@desfiladerodenatersa]

Hello, your videos about weapons are very interesting. I congratulate you on excellent aim. I would like to ask you what would be your three favorite war pistols and in order of importance. Greetings from Spain and thank you very much.

[@tHeWasTeDYouTh]

I like the Yugoslav model which had a longer handle and more bullets

[@Jesses001]

Great design...since he totally "borrowed" it from Browning, ha. That clip retaining the slide stop was a nice touch, and I love the module hammer assembly. Very good to easily replace in the field and send a soldier on his way. They really should had put a frame mounted 1911 style safety on it though. That would had made it a far better design. These are still in production for the US market in both 7.62x25 and 9mm. These new production US market imports are made in Serbia. They are rather accurate to the original design, only with a slide mounted safety...which to be honest is kind of junk, ha.

[@vonzigle]

Thank you, good video!

[@kerr2574]

I feel the grip is very comfortable for me.

[@ryanburdon8635]

Great video ! Thank you

[@justin764]

The original TT-33s didn't had the safety, but had halfcock instead. So I guess the one you have shown us on this video is the one that got the safety added on for foreign sales. Nice videos by the way.

[@automat9226]

There is no manual safety on that gun. He doesn't live in America, he doesn't have to follow any of the 922R manufacturing laws for these firearms. If I heard him right, that's an authentic Russian TT33 which are fairly rare in the US anyways.

[@raidr_actual]

Absolute beauty.

[@tjo4087]

Great videos!

[@Procket12]

Basically the love child of an FN Model 1903 and a Colt 1911.

[@corto4027]

Or just a Soviet copy of a Browning design, since the FN was just the European producer of Browning's overall design, take the High Power for example, like Colt was for him in the US.

[@zoltancsikos5604]

Paul Primitive simpleton.

[@zoltancsikos5604]

Robespierre It's not a copy, bud.

[@corto4027]

It's not a direct copy, in the sense that they have inter-changable parts, or even look the same, but the TT-33 is a Soviet copy of the FN/Colt 1903. It simply has improvements over the original design, the Soviets wanted.

[@ДимаСмирнов-р5ж]

TT is really a Soviet copy of Browning's design. And no one is hiding it. At the end of 20 years the military leadership of the USSR decided to replace the Nagan pistol. For the replacement of the pistol, the versions of the already existing pistol samples were first considered. As a result, it was decided not to buy guns, but to develop their own sample based on the Browning system. At the same time, the main task that Soviet engineers had to solve at the time was not the gun itself, but the production of a serial production of this pistol using low-tech production. For example, the Browning barrel Colt 1911 has milled grooves on the trunk from above, which adhere to the bolt. In the TT gun instead of them circular grooves because the machines that were then available to the USSR allowed to perform this work only in this way. The same applies to the caliber of the cartridge of the TT pistol. It is equal to 7.62 * 25 because in the USSR from the Russian Empire remained factories for the production of cartridges for Nagan and it was easier to do cartridges for a new pistol on this equipment. TT identified the possibilities of Soviet industry 20 years and all.

[@taylorman1949]

The overlarge rear sight was designed for recoil when shooting one-handed, this pistol will shoot excellent that way.

[@Procket12]

Also I believe you have the part about WWI backwards. That war proved to the rest of Europe what both us Americans and the British learned in colonial conflicts, that the pistol had a role in the warfighters arsenal.

[@mammouthlafouinne3678]

This round has a second life in Pakistan, private artisan gunsmiths are making loads of original firearms around this caliber. They call it 30 bore.. search it.

[@tgillies101]

Are additional original or reproduction magazines available for it?

[@raoulvolfoni1800]

In europe , it's easy to find brand new original ones at a low price .

[@alexandrvylegzhanin7598]

like your hat, where can find one?

[@grahambamford9073]

Often wondered why no modern pistols never came out chambered in this cartridge. It seems quite high velocity.

[@trashcanpossum230]

Great video! I have a FEG PA63 9x18 made in 1955. What role, if any, did they play? Were they popular?

[@tiborberkes4599]

It can't be a 1955 model. The PA 63 was produced from 1963.

[@bugatvofficial374]

Жаль,что такую вещь у нас,в России,обычному человеку не достать,даже нелегально.Иронично,ведь она нашего производства.

[@Thedemonologists]

I own Soviet, Polish and Chinese (T-54) variants...Love them all. Interestly, the "new" production Chinese Norinco T-54 is by far the most accurate of the three, although other owners report the reverse.

[@corvoattano4777]

762X25 round is an excellent subgun caliber.

[@richardfroiland5703]

I have several and would/do carry concealed when I go out. Even to Church.

[@Procket12]

You should try the Zastava M57 version of it. Actually has a proper 1911 style safety and it has 9 rounds as opposed to 8. Funny enough is that the M57 was one of the first semi auto pistols approved for carry by NYPD detectives in the 1980s because of the Yugoslav rule of non-alignment made it one of the few places you could get Eastern Bloc guns into the west.

[@WPYR1]

Good video man. I got the Zastava M57 with a 9 round magazine, is a surplus firearm ,i think the barrel is trash shooting low about 10 to 12 inches even at 75 ft( 25 yards)

[@tropojatropoja9890]

The tt33 is the best pistol in the wolrd

[@Procket12]

Not really sure why the Russians dumped the 7.62 Tokarev round for the 9x18 Makarov which makes more sense as a police pistol than a military one.

[@xmm-cf5eg]

I'd love to see a modern military SMG or carbine chambered for 7.62x25mm, maybe somebody could modernize the PPS-43 or convert one of those 10mm MP5's the FBI had to Tokarev.

[@jshicke]

The Soviets dropped the 7.62*25mm cartridge for pistols because of the pressures involved, about 36,500 psi. Soviets wanted a more simple and basic pistol design, and the 9mm Makarov has pressures low enough (23,000 psi) that a simple blow back recoil system, essentially a big spring and heavy slide, works well and is low cost to make.

[@moritzrxn8925]

Paul 9x18mm Has higher stopping Power which for some reason the russians needed more Than Penetration

Hello, I am commenting on here to request a .54 cal pedersoli sharps black powder video. I want to purchase a long range black powder rifle to take 500+yard shots with and I was wondering if these types of rifles are capable of those types of shots and how much powder is too much. I am mainly interested in big game hunting and long range targets 100+ meters.

[@mailmannb7970]

great video... i have a Russian tt 33 and just picked up the Serbian one in 9mm.. iam still on the new side when it comes to pistols... but really injoy the feel and triger in the tt 33... i want to get the Yugoslavia one asp! PS... they are great for a under the pillow gun! hardly notice its there!

[@budrow888]

I like your style. Take a firearm to the far extreme, much past its designed performance. We do the same on my home range. If you can make the extreme shots, hard shots are easier. If you can make the hard shots, the easy shots are a sure thing. (From Georgia, USA.)

[@pecospest]

well , well , well , Space Cowboy !! you are shooting in the Gunfighter category now !!

Not sure why they didn't just use the locking system with the slide stop/toggle link bar instead of using what seems to amount to a big coiter pin of sorts.

[@deepbludreams]

So basically its just a slightly beefier 1903 Pocket model?

[@akdude182]

No.I does share the aethstetics of a 1903,but the 1903 is a straight blowback.The tt-33 uses a swinging link and lugs on the barrel with recesses in the slide.Exactly like the 1911.

[@sergeantbigmac]

Ya kinda, I think they have more in common to the 1903 than the 1911. Other than the obvious, the exposed hammer.

[@akdude182]

sergeantbigmac Look at the locking lugs and the swinging link.It is almost an exact copy of the 1911.Plus the barrel bushing just like what you would get with a 1911.So it looks like a 1903,locks like a 1911.As well as having some of tokarev's own touches,like the easily removable firing mechanism.

[@sergeantbigmac]

akdude182 I cant believe I forgot about the locking lugs, swinging link and bushing! Good catch, definitely more 1911 then.

[@akdude182]

sergeantbigmac I can't help but feel you are being sarcastic,so I will address your comment as though you are.Their are only so many functional parts of a semi-automatic hand gun.And the 1911 and the Tokarev share many of them.they're not interchangeable of course but the function is identical.The only thing's the Tokarev and 1903 have in common are the general aesthetic's and a single action hammer fired mechanism.Almost everything else is identical to a 1911.

Am I right in just assuming that all the "guns of the revolution" are whatever was left over in Soviet arsenals after WWII?

[@АнтонГоршколепов]

i am not an expert, but i think that yes, after war ussr starting to produce new firearms like AK47, makarov and some others. And due to that massive amounts of ppsh41, pps, mosin1891/30, nagants,DP27s, TTs, as well as some german firearms that were captured, were gifted to friendly countries. I believe that there are still military warehouses with some remnants of ww2 weapons all across russia even today, nobody needs them now, you cant sell them. They are just laying there, i hope that they will never be used again, cant imagive what king of shitty situation would require them to be used.
