I admire the design and functionality of the Tokarev TT-33, especially since it is basically copied from the original design of John Moses Browning's, Colt 1911 Model. I have two TT-33's : A 1941 Russian in 7.62 x 25, and a Norinco in 9mm.
Several of the Soviet Bloc countries produced the TT-33 in 7.65 x 25 mm. I would be interested in the opinions of THR members, in evaluating the quality of those manufactured in Russia, Poland, Romania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and others. I've heard Poland ranks at the top, while some have been said to be of very low quality.
Likewise I would appreciate a similar evaluation of the original Makarov in 9 x 18mm, by country. East Berlin and Russia have both been mentioned as the best, depending on who you talk to. It is not necessary to evaluate other 9 x 18mm guns like CZ-82 or P-64, etc.
Thanks.
