The Type 51 pistol is nothing more than a direct copy of the Soviet made TT-33 handgun, with some external differences in design. By Staff Writer
The Type 51 is nothing more than a Chinese production copy of the Soviet-made Tokarev TT-33 pistol series with subtle differences to the external production of the Chinese brand. The firearm has appeared in inventories of other countries friendly to the Soviet Union during the Cold War years and carried various designations depending on the nation producing the weapon. The Type 51, like the TT-33, fires the 7.62x25mm Soviet M30 cartridge from an 8-round detachable box magazine.
