1965 Yugoslavian M57 Pistol in 7.62 X 25

[1srelluc]

I picked up a 1965 Yugo M57 pistol in 7.62X25 today. It came with a extra mag, holster, cleaning rod. $200.00.

I like it due to the longer grip and good safety. It's very well made.

I'd not call this one a "lung buster" as it would just say hello to the lung as it passed through headed to parts unknown.

Compared to it's Soviet TT-33 counter part ('36 Tula).....You can use the Yugo mag in the TT-33 but not the other way around.
