Norinco M213 9mm pistol 8 shot

The Model 213 is a copy of the Soviet TT-33 Tokarev pistol. The Soviet government brutally vanquished it’s enemies in the Russian Civil War and by 1929 the military was ready to reorganize and modernize their forces. This meant modernizing their small arms as well.

Handling a Norinco M213 is essentially the same as a normal Tokarev, with a few key differences. First off it is chambered in 9x19mm.

Secondly the Norinco 213 has a safety, though this was copied from the earlier Tokagypt, which was a Hungarian export model made for Egypt. This safety is placed at the rear of the frame just like a 1911. Unlike the up or down of the 1911’s safety, the Norinco 213’s safety is pushed forwards for safe or to the rear for fire. Though it can be swept with the thumb.

The rear sight is a tall piece of blued steel with a U-notch, the front blade is thick enough to easily see.
