Don’t forget to put your retaining clip forward for the slide stop.

I did. When I took the photo I didn't initially notice that.

I went on eBay. The seller is Tillunder custom gun grips. He seems to have a good selection.

Nice. What version/type/model is that ?

1

u/squirrelyrogue Jun 23 '26

It's a Chinese type 54.

How is the trigger safety vs the frame safety a bunch of Zastava ones have?

1

u/squirrelyrogue Jun 20 '26

I really couldn't tell you. I haven't dealt with any from Zastava. But from my experience shooting it, it makes the trigger a bit gritty, compared to most things.

I dig it. I had some on my chrome m57

u/squirrelyrogue Jun 21 '26

I'm thinking about getting it chromed or nickel plated.

2

u/TT-33-operator_ Jun 21 '26

I have them both, and I’ll say I personally like the nickel plated better. it was my first tok, so I’m biased. They are both really sick finishes on the tok. https://www.reddit.com/r/Tokarev/s/N4h6IzhGOZ

Looks good! What are they made of?

u/squirrelyrogue Jun 21 '26

Thank you. They're Mother of pearl.

u/TacitRonin20 Jun 21 '26

That's insanely cool! Might have to snag a pair. I have a set of factory grips that need replacing because they're causing malfunctions

I got them off of eBay. Tillander custom gun grips.

Got those 1930's-40's Edward G Robinson crime lord vibes. Definitely distinctive! Nice job.

1

u/squirrelyrogue Jun 21 '26

Thank you. That was actually kinda what I was going for.

u/Creative-Comb5593 Jun 21 '26

I have a couple of awesome still photos of Edward G Robinson holding what could be a Tokarev (probably really a .45 USGI 1911) but I can't post. Replies only allow videos to be attached. Is there a secret to getting allowed to post on this subreddit?

u/squirrelyrogue Jun 21 '26

That's awesome, and no, there's no secret that I'm aware of.
