The Norinco Type 54 Model 213 is a robust Chinese clone of the legendary Soviet TT-33 Tokarev pistol. Chambered in the potent 7.62x25mm Tokarev round, this semi-automatic pistol delivers impressive velocity and penetration capabilities that outperform many common pistol calibres.
With its simple, reliable design and characteristic slim profile, the Model 213 offers shooters a taste of Cold War military history combined with practical shooting performance. The all-steel construction provides excellent durability while minimizing recoil for a pistol of its calibre.
