I got her as arsenal refinished surplus. She was purchased from a backwoods hunting shop about an hour drive from my place. THey were really nice about it because they let me look at all of them and pick the nicest one, they also let me take the nicest grips off one of the other ones and put them on mine. The guy at the counter then came out with a like new holster and lanyard for me at no extra cost. The one that was supposed to come with it was garbage.

After hosing the cosmoline off with brake cleaner I took her out for a spin.

Very cool!

I've been thinking about getting a Romanian TT-33 to add to my collection of Cold War guns, since they are so affordable right now.

I'm guessing gun laws must be alright in Nova Scotia. For one thing I see you don't have the US mandated manual safety added to it for import.

We have the national Handgun registry in Canada but thankfully we are not forced to have any import markings or added safety. the handgun is exactly as it was in Russia.

I think that just might be the best looking tokarev i've ever seen.

Thats what i thought as well. Direct result of the gun shop owner letting me paw over every single one he had and mix n match the grips to make the perfect tokarev.

Now i am on the hunt for a nagant 1895 revolver.
