Zastava M57

[Longcolt44]

Well ole' LC really outdid himself this time. Another pick of the litter of chrome and bead blasted steel. Would come in very helpful if I ever had to go back to work...as a Pimp. This is part of some very special show guns made by Zastava in Serbia, so the story goes. SOG bought these from P.W. ARMS the importer.
You know I just had to get one.

Wow; it's all sparkly. I have never seen one with that kind of finish. I am not familiar with Zastava's M57. I have a Polish TT33. Are these chambered in 7.62x25?

[Longcolt44]

Yes it is chambered in 7.62X25, I'm kinda shy about shooting it, you know what happens to chrome exhaust pipes.

You keep that tucked under the leopard skin seat covers of your gold glitter painted 1975 Eldorado? Nothing warms a snipers heart more than the reflection off something shiny on the other guys equipment. The chrome coating should help the pistol resist corrosion as it sits in the soup of the decomposing body of anyone who waved it around on the battlefield. Saddam Hussein would have loved this pistol. Chrome belongs inside barrels, gas pistons, maybe a bolt head, not on the outside were it will attract ridicule the minute the enemy sees it. Hey, look at that! Get the guy with the bling pistol.

That my friend JYD. I knew I could count on him to give my new gun the pops it deserves.

[RazorBurn]

Longcolt that's a nice looking pistol. I just can't resist posting this.

I saw those listed and was sorely tempted to buy one, but I could here JYD berating me and insulting the pistol in my head so I talked myself out of it.

LC44 got a new anthem.

LC, I have a pimped out Raven Mp -25 you might be interested in.

Shoulda went with this:



Then again, for that price you could get a different colored M57 for every day of the week.

No no no… This is not the gun you own while driving in your pimped out purple Eldorado.

This is the gun you own while driving your pimped out gold-plated 1990 Yugo Cabrio.


It actually doesn't bother me. It's a gun. I'd shoot it.

[Darryl]

It is kinda perdy and shinny.

I actually drove a Yugo Cabrio once. It was in a car museum I used to work for. White and gray with red stripes. Cabrios are very rare in the U.S. They imported 50 as I recall.

Shure is. I'd have to shoot it.

Zastava Chrome and Sandblasting in Serbia

That sure is a pretty gun.

But call me slow or something but.. Is the Zastava M57 better than a Tok 33?

I need to learn this stuff because I haven't bought a gun lately.

[AMCHornet]

The M57 holds one more cartridge in a longer grip and magazine than the TT33. The added on import safeties are often different. The M57 is still in production to this day. As for how the quality and fit and finish of the M57 and TT33 compare? It's hard to say.

I suppose that makes it technically superior. People with large hands prefer the M57's larger grip.

By the way, my Zastava model 57 is stamped made in Czechoslovakia not Serbia?
