KWC Tokarev TT-33 or Gletcher TT-NBB ?????

KWC has released an odd or unique Tokarev TT-33 replica Co2 pistol that is full metal, and you have to cock the hammer with your thumb for every shot, just like an 1873 Colt Single Action Army revolver.

It really looks good and very realistic, with the exception of the missing ejection port, and the various screws holding the slide together on the right side, from the left profile view this  TT-33 replica  sort of looks nicer  than the Gletcher TT Co2 pistol.

The only markings are sharp looking KWC branding and caliber spec's plus serial # and none of that horrid WARNING text that Umarex likes to spoil some of their replica air pistols with.

The full size, drop free magazine with Ammunition & Co2 plus the valve is something that the Gletcher TT doesn't have.

The next photo clearly shows the screws on the right side of the slide 😕🔫...and the missing cut out ejection port!

This KWC Tokarev TT-33 single action only NBB fixed slide Co2 pistol is supposed to shoot fairly hard, up to 430 fps, and should cost around $150 CDN.
Having to cock the hammer for each shot is definitely not a deal breaker with me. I enjoy shooting my Crosman Peacemaker .44 and Crosman SA6 Single Action Six Co2 revolver replicas of the Colt Single Action Army 1873 revolver.

Here is a couple of photos  of the Gletcher TT-NBB:

I was having a hard time deciding which Tokarev TT-33 replica I would buy, and went over the pros and cons of each pistol, but then I found out that Replica AirGuns Canada had only one Gletcher TT-NBB in stock for $150, and so I quickly placed my order for that Gletcher TT-NBB when I woke up to get ready for work  on Thursday night/Friday morning, and it was shipped by Noon Friday.
I should receive my Tokarev TT-33 replica Co2 Steel BB pistol sometime next week, hopefully🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫

Colt 1903 should have an AirGun replica!

I think the Colt 1903 automatic pistol is one classic pistol that should have an AirGun replica!
It is very surprising that there isn't a licensed Colt 1903 automatic already.
Pictured are two .32 caliber models and a 9mm longer barrel version with a holster/shoulder stock


The closest to a Colt 1903 replica AirGun is the Cyber gun "SoftAir"  .24cal/6mm Colt .25 spring airsoft pistol.
This pistol has a muzzle velocity of around 90 fps with .20 gram BB's and 150 fps with .12 gram BB's.
Power is not why someone buys a gun like this.
It still has a nice crack of a discharge sound and it very fun to rack the slide and point & shoot.

It is a nifty looking replica of the Browning designed, FN model 1906/Colt model 1908 pocket pistol, maybe someday Umarex or Crosman will release a Co2 version of this gun or the Colt 1903 and the other Browning designed semi-automatic pistols like the model 1900 thru 1935(hi-power 9mm).

I was only able to buy the clear plastic version here in Canada, and I refinished the frame & slide with a paint marker.
I think the finish has a more blued  metallic look than if I used Krylon Fusion "for plastic" spray paint, which leaves a nice powder coat finish.

There is another replica Co2 pistol based on a real steel Russian sidearm that is very similar in design to the John Browning pistols, like the model 1900 & 1903, and that is the legendary Tokarev TT-33.
The Gletcher TT series has been discontinued, except for the TT-P, which is an inexpensive, all plastic, DAO semi-automatic BB pistol.
I was able to find a  TT-NBB, the all metal, non-blowback version that suddenly appeared "in stock" at replica airguns Canada's online store, and it is on its way to me with Canada Post.
The newest Tokarev replica is the  KWC TT-33, which is an oddball of an air Pistol, being that it is single action only like a Colt Single Action Army revolver, were you need to cock the hammer for each shot.
The KWC has a few design flaws, and although I still plan to purchase one, I had to jump on the Gletcher TT-NBB now, and get what possibly could be the last Gletcher Tokarev available brand new from an airgun retailer in Canada, or maybe even North America.
A "Gletcher Guns" representative wrote me back and told me that the company had discontinued the TT, TT-NBB & TT-A, however, he did mention the TT-P that should be available this summer, and it is.

I was lucky to find a Gletcher TT-NBB from a Canadian AirGun Dealer last month, after looking for at least a year.

As I have said in my other post about my TT-NBB, it chronographed between 380-425 fps, depending on temperature, an the state of the Co2 charge.
