I just received an email from aim surplus that the TT-33 IS C&R
Online they are both easy to get, but the new commercial Makarov ammo is cheaper than Tokarev commercial ammo.Is there a difference in availability between 9x18 and 7.62x25 ammo?
I'm already debating what to buy first once I get my C&R.
I see AIM has them for $209
Can I get an opinion of the TT-33 vs the CZ-52?
I'd like one or the other, but not both. Which would you recommend and why?

The CZ52 holds well for most people with Hogue slip on grips and makes it feel much more ergonomic.
Get the CZ 52 because they will not be available for very long and you are going to kick yourself in the ass five years from now when they are $300 or $350 each.
There were only 200,000 CZ52s made and about 2,000,000 TT-33s or copies were made. So the TT-33 will be available for a long time to come while the CZ52 will dry up soon.
When I bought my CZ52 close to two years ago it was about $75 before shipping (no holster and one mag). Now it would cost $130. In another year to 18 months I predict they will go up to close to $200 in price on the low end.
Both are kinda novelties, but the CZ is unique.
The CZ52 is built like a tank and wieghs a little more, so shooting hotter rounds (with the slip on grip) may not be as rough.
The CZ52 also has some cool accesories that can still be found like 9mm drop in barrels, threaded barrels and compensators.
