The Commercial Comrade: A 9mm Evolution of the TT-33

The Norinco Model 213, serial 312309, is a Chinese-manufactured adaptation of the legendary Soviet TT-33 service pistol. This specific unit features the "Triangle 66" arsenal mark, indicating it was produced at State Factory 66, a facility renowned for its high-quality military and export small arms. Unlike the original Tokarev chambered in 7.62x25mm, the Model 213 was specifically engineered for the Western market and chambered in the ubiquitous 9mm Luger. Imported by Sportarms (Miami, FL), these pistols are known for their slim profile and robust all-steel construction. The Model 213 maintains the unique Tokarev "hammer pack"—a self-contained firing module that can be removed as a single unit for easy maintenance—while adding a frame-mounted safety to comply with US importation requirements.

Condition and Action Highlights

Action: Short-recoil, semi-automatic, Single-Action Only (SAO). Features the signature Tokarev modular hammer/sear assembly and a frame-mounted manual safety located above the left grip panel.

Markings: Clearly stamped with the Factory 66 (Triangle 66) arsenal code and the Sportarms import mark.

Ergonomics: Fitted with traditional vertical-ribbed polymer wrap-around grips, providing the classic "Type 54" aesthetic.

Condition: Good surplus condition; the blued finish shows expected high-edge thinning and light handling marks consistent with military-style storage and light use.

Bore: 4.5-inch barrel; the bore is in good condition with distinct rifling, though it may show the typical frosting found in surplus firearms.

Accessories: Includes one (1) 8-round magazine. Note that Model 213 magazines feature a specialized spacer to accommodate the shorter 9mm cartridge compared to the original 7.62x25mm frame.
