Any thoughts on (or experience with) this Yugo/Serb pistol? I'd been wanting to tinker around with a Tokarev TT-33 clone, but the days of cheap 7.62x25 seem to be behind us. As for 9mm Tokarev clones, this one seems to be a much higher quality than its Norinco twin. I figured it would be hard to beat for the price. It should be ready for me to pick up at Cherokee Gun & Pawn in the next few days.

A lot of folks are saying it has some pretty rough edges internally and needs to be tinkered with quite a bit to get it running right.

Sounds good to me, that's exactly what I plan on doing with it.

Cool. I love the way they look and they really do feel good in the hand. Go for it and post up pics and video.

I also wanted to try my hand at rust bluing. I think this would be a solid platform to give it a shot. If I screw it up, I can always just Cerakote it.

my dads got the eaa m88 which is a smaller version from what i can tell

its rough, but it does shoot

i figure these are gonna be similar. rough finished and will fire but nothing special

Hey, look what I found.. http://www.marschalgrips.com/tt33wr/new-y57/y57-new.html

There are some awesome designs in there. I especially like the "Open top wrap around" and "Front wrapping finger grooves with thumb rest" options.



If I got the finger groove grips, I would get them with checkering instead of stippling, though.

Just over 2 lbs fully loaded and size. Should be a bangup shooter

Judging by your new username, shall I assume you are the subject matter expert?

Oh, also, I've been looking for places that sell extra magazines for these, without much luck. Any hints?
