Does anyone know if there's an source for an after-market grips for TT-33 Tokarev pistols?
I know I can get the original military grips from ebay or gunbroker.com.
But I haven't seen any aftermarket grips that are wood or rubber or plastic---.
Search the web, and you can find many sources for the aftermarket wood grips for CZ-52, Makarov, P-64, PA-63---. I even saw one that makes a great looking set of wood grips for M1895 Nagant!!!
But no one makes grips for Tokarev???
Does anyone know?
Thanks guys!!!
PS: I think this is my first posting here, after lurking around and getting good,valuable info for a loooong time...
Yes I would like to see the rap a rounds myself. I would love to have a good set. Do the ones made for the TT33 work with the TTC or Romanian version?. John
Mine arrived from Budapest Hungary yesterday. I'm very pleased with the quality. I ordered the zebra wood with oil finish. They fit like a glove and were easy to install. However, they would NOT clear the safety on my Romanian Tok. So I installed them on my Chinese that has no safety for now.
Sorry the picture of the other grip panel didn't turn out so well. I'd like to add the picture quality doesn't do them any justice, much nicer in person.
Masterblaster62,
thank you for your post and the picture as well! I will include the safety cutout to the TT-33 grips in the future. Any other suggestion, please?
Again, thank you so much.
Dennis
If you look around on EBay there was a guy selling aftermarket plastic grips with the thumb rest on the left grip, and they are thicker. Came with the latches. I plan to put them on my Norinco that I use purely as a shooter.
(I've taken a grip off and am looking at it now)
I've thought of trying this. I've done a lot of molding of small model parts and these grip panels wouldn't be too hard to reproduce. However you'd have to have the steel parts made. Probably laser cut by a machine shop and in big lots to bring price down. Even then it wouldn't be cheap to start a supply of them.
Also the resin that I'm used to molding with is pretty soft and I'd have to find a harder material to keep detail from quickly wearing off.
If you got it worked out though you could make grips in as many styles as you could find to make molds from. Soviet, plain, FB, Romanian etc

These are really nice grips. I wonder how they look on the pistol. John
I tried contacting him about a pair and have heard nothing so far. Hope to hear from him soon. I really want a pair of the flat grips he has. John
Does some one know the person selling the grip sets? I have emailed several times and got no response from him. I really want a new grip set. Thank you. John
It is at razorarms for 35 bucks also there is a drop in compensator for it and the 1911 at gunpartswarehouse.com the sku is 33 TT-33 Compensator, Muzzle Brake in 7.62 x 25mm
$40.00
Hope this helps mashalpha
Dennis, here is a picture of the current Romanian style safety. This style is also found on some Polish imports as well, but is not the only type out there. The factory grip panels do clear the safety without modification.
As to any other suggestions: I'd prefer a black fastener with a hex head
I'm back with two photos of the latest TT33 grips. I "mounted" them on my poor man's gun. It's a Norinco TT-33 gun without the safety lever. That model was my reference for making the grips.
I hope the cutout will let the safety move free. All grips ordered after the 13th July will include this cutout and I'm ready to send replacement grips if they don't let the gun work as it should.
They look nice. Thanks for sharring the information. John
