Romanian TTC 7.62x25mm

Winterborn · Nov 14, 2013

Greetings,

Just received my second C&R purchase yesterday from Classicfirearms. What a class act they are, shipped very quick and the gun arrived in perfect condition.

The gun arrived with NO COSMOLINE, which surprised me (heres to you, Classic!).

I think this gun is very close to new, it has light holster wear near the front of the barrel, very good barrel (looks almost new to me) with strong rifling.

Its a Romanian Tokarev, Model TTC. According to the stamping it was manufactured in 1953, and has the RPR in the star for the "People's Republic of Romania" on the grips.

Its obvious what the designer took from the Browning 1903, and I really like the way it looks. It is smaller than I expected from photos, but feels really solid in the hand.

It is quite solid, made entirely of metal, but is very slim and imho, an ideal carry pistol.

I have not shot it yet, but I plan on getting it checked out and taking it to the range. It is obvious it does not have many rounds through it.

Enjoy the pics.

gorgeous tok. Shame the ammo is so pricey, my Yugo is absolutely my favorite shooter.

Nice looking gun! Did you spring for the hand pick option?

I did, seems it was worth the extra $15.

How well does the thumb safety work on it?

Looks identical in quality to the one I received this week, I couldn't be happier.
Classic is a class act!

Ken792, the safety on mine functions very well.

Works perfectly from what I can tell. It doesn't get in the way when handling the gun, and it won't fire with the safety engaged.

yes I've already ordered dies, brass, and a mold for it. Soon I'll be making my own ammo for it.

I counted up the recovered brass from my Yugo Tok box of 50. I recovered 47 rounds, so you are in for a good reloading experience from at least brass recovery. BTW, I slugged my barrel and got .312", I"m going to start reloading with .311 bullets

I ordered a .311 mold size.

Whoa! My Romanian TTC looked like it had no cosmo too, until I looked down the barrel and saw a glob. The externals of most of the parts had been wiped clean, but there was still a very fine film on it.

At a minimum - clean it before you shoot it.

Very nice pistol!

I agree with other folks here. My Tok's are among my favorite pistols. Mainly due to the round itself. I am fortunate I have two cases of the Bulgarian Surplus ammo left as I love shooting them.

Here's one I got for my Romanian-ancestry wife, bought a spare set of grips, and bubbaed it up just for her, but it can go back to original in 5 minutes. (No, that's not her, but I think she's just as cute and looks great with her gun and pink hearing protectors.)

eBay?

They were being sold under the username, "MyHubbySpendsAllOurCashOnGuns".

By far, my favorite C&R shooter hands down. Beautiful looking gun and thanks for sharing.

TTC is nice and accurate, but a little funky on function. I can really feel that slide working, not at all like a 1911. Tell us what you think once you get it to the range.

lee2 · Nov 14, 2013

nice pistol! ok where do you work?

beautiful pistol you have there. I think this will be one of my first purchases when I get my C&R
