Tokarev TT30/33 replica co2 pistol

 The cartridge firing Tokarev TT-30/33 was a  Russian military sidearm throughout the 1930's and WW2.
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 :

These days there is only one 4.5mm steel BB version of the Tokarev TT-30/33, and it is this Gletcher TT, which comes with full blowback or Non-blowback.



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.

Crosman's Revolvers Pt-2: SNR.357

I briefly owned a 4" Dan Wesson Co2 revolver in 6mm airsoft about 5 years ago, but sold it to a friend because I decided that I would rather have a .177 caliber version that shot steel or lead.


I ordered a refurbished Crosman SNR.357 Co2 pellet revolver for $60 from Princess last week and it just arrived today!
If it works perfectly, the it will be a half price bargain!

As far as I know, WinGun manufacturers the Dan Wesson & Crosman SR357 & SNR357 Co2 revolvers, so I have finally replaced that Dan Wesson from 5 years ago with  a lead slinging Saturday night special version of the same revolver.

The 2.5" SNR.357 interested me as soon as they were available, but I have been busy with other AirGuns, until I discovered the refurbished ones for sale at princess Auto.

There is a simple hammer spring mod that I plan to do, and hopefully it will increase the power.

I will update this post in the near future with any improvements I am able to make to this cool compact Co2 revolver.

UPDATE:

I fired a few rounds thru my chronograph and 5.4 grain Crosman penetrators hit as high as 395 fps and heavy gamo armour 9.6 grain lead pellets shot around 295-310 fps.

This is a fun Co2 handgun to operate.
Loading rounds is realistic, and adds a lot to the experience.

Umarex H&K USP .177 cal. NBB Co2 pistol

Umarex recently introduced a full blowback action version of the USP, but I still wanted to add the non-blowback version to my collection, mostly because it has the perfect magazine design for use with 7.4 grain "smart shot" copper coated lead BB's, and in some part because Princess Auto had them on sale for $39.99 + shipping for the month leading up to Christmas.

The H&K USP .177 cal BB pistol is a realistic looking & feeling replica air pistol.
It shoots fairly straight for a BB gun, and hits harder than the 400 fps rating.
I chronographed a few shots and three shots ranged from 398 fps to 415 fps.

The inner mechanical operation of the USP seems similar to the IWI Jericho 941/Swiss Arms SA941.
