They fuction in a similar manner to the Browning deigned Colt M1911.
The TT-33 has inspired different companies to make a few excellent Co2 replica air pistols over the past 20 years.
Gletcher TT-NBB 4.5mm steel BB :
IZH BAIKAL MP-656k :
The IZH Baikal MP656K used to be available for $199 US, but has been 'out of stock' for a few years. It is a Co2 pistol that I wish I had bought while I could get one, but now, if one pops up for sale it will probably cost $500 Cdn like the Makarov Co2 pistols do!
I found a high quality, 4.5 mm steel BB TT-33 replica made by MWM Gillmann on a German webstore that sells for 599.00 euros!!!
TT33 Full Steel Model T656 Air Gun 4.5mm Co2 Pistol:
Back in 2012 Crosman teased North American AirGun enthusiasts by only releasing their version of the TT33, the Crosman C-TT to the European market 🤔
The IZH Baikal MP-656k is still the Tokarev TTC-33 Co2 pistol that I really hope to find someday...
"SOBR" TT
The SOBR TT is a Ukrainian made Tokarev 4.5mm steel/lead BB Co2 pistol that is build like the IZH Baikal MP-656K, were surplus Tokarev firearms are converted into Co2 guns.
I had a brief opportunity to purchase one, but the asking price is around $1000!!!!!
The Baikal pistol also costs as much on the collectors market.
The last photo is a Baikal Mp-656k that was sold at auction in 2013 for $120 US, but since then they have become so rare that the prices have sky rocketed!
The most recent Tokarev TT-33 replica 4.5mm steel BB Co2 Pistol is the KWC TT-33, a single action only, single shot, full metal, fixed slide and non-blowback steel BB pistol.
It has a muzzle velocity rating of 424 fps, and doesn't have a cut out slide ejection port, but damn, it looks nice and seems to shoot nice, based on the video reviews on YouTube.
I will be adding this to my collection this summer, once I can afford to buy a new air pistol.
Very, very nice and informative post!
