Hey, I needed a pistol for the little car! I didn't like the one that came with it.

I can't help it if I ran into a good deal after starting the thread.

As for showing off ???

Are you talking about the cost of the purchase, because showing off a $200 Tork is like showing off a MN, lowest cost wins.

Waiting periods. I'm glad to see my state's waiting period partially overturned, but even then that has a 180 day holdup before it can take effect, is only or those with a CCW or those of us with firearms already on paper and is still subject to the possibility that a background check gets held up for days and days, as I believe has been known to happen more than rarely. Apparently they come back as quick as 1 hour, but I'll have to take the internet's word for that.

I have a CCW so I have no waiting period and I am pre-approved for any purchase. They do not even have to call it in.

Around here it is not a "show off" thing. Couple of hundred thousand other folks have the same. My late wife had a permit, my preacher has a permit, I know that both my neighbors have permits. I know a lot of women that work as medical professionals and work odd shifts and in strange places and most of them have carry permits. Chances are that if you turn a person from around here upside down and shake them a pistol will fall out from somewhere!

Kentucky also recognizes one's vehicle as an extension of their home, so any citizen that can legally own a firearm can keep one in their vehicle, and they do! No CCW is required. Road rage crap and car-jackings are not a worthwhile sport around here.

Sure enough, one of those things one should not pass up. The near perfect truck pistol, cache pistol, low end HD pistol.

Military approved, WW2 veteran, reengineered to use 9mm ammo.

NIB w/extra magazine, out the door at $219. Almost down to the pre-panic prices.

So I've been wondering, how's it been treating you?

I picked it up and broke it down to clean it, put it back together and have nor fired it yet. Me and Natertot have an appointment next week and I was intending to let him have the honors and get a second opinion based on "out of the box" behavior. Otherwise it's just another case of the Krat mouthing off.

This is not your granddad's war production tt33. Just like with the AK, there were different models produced in different countries and many of them have been modified for import to the US.

The US requires a "safety", which the tt33 in its original form did not have.

Mine is Serbian and is equipped with three safety mechanisms; magazine block, hammer block, and firing pin block. The more safeties the more import points they get.

The machining is very good, inside and out, and the finish is as good as most of the second tier hardware available such as the Rossi, Taurus and Charter Arms.

The action is butter smooth and the trigger is very acceptable. I had not expected either of those attributes based on prior experiences with "war pickup" tt pistols.

We will see how it shoots next week. if it will keep its shots inside a 5 gallon bucket at 25 yards I have gotten more pistol than I paid for.

Did I mention that it is made out of steel? Real steel?

Not pot metal, not aluminum, not hi-grade polymer, but real steel, just like in the olden days!
