Yugo / Zasatava M-57 Pistol 7.62x25 M57 Yugo

Yugoslavian TTC Tokarev Semi-Auto Pistol Manufactured by Zastava Arms. Adopted in 1957, the M57 was a license-produced copy of the Soviet Tokarev TT pistol, although the M57 had a longer grip to accommodate a larger magazine (holding 9 rounds, versus 8 rounds in the TT). Around 1970[citation needed], Crvena Zastava began production of a similar pistol, the M70A, chambered in 9?19mm Luger. As of 2014, Zastava currently manufactures new production M57s, M70As and M88s. The M57 pistol is short-recoil-operated, locked-breech pistol that uses a Browning-type action with swinging link. The trigger is of single-action type. Originally the pistol has no manual safeties except for a half-cock notch on the hammer. Due to BATFE import restrictions, a manual safety was fitted to surplus models imported to the United States. The controls on the military surplus M57s are identical to those of the American M1911 pattern US Army pistols, which is a factor in their popularity in the United States.
