TT33 Tokarev at the BackUp Gun Match
🕑 Added 2022-11-19 12:00:03 +0000 UTCMy holster and mag carrier in this match are made by BattleGnome Solutions in Slovenia, and available worldwide exclusively from the Polenar Tactical web store:

I was talking to the guys who operate BattleGnome at Lynx Brutality this summer, as they also made the holster and mag carriers for the Arex Delta I used at that match. They are really cool, down-to-earth folks and had just finished prototyping a Tokarev holster. There are no modern options for a Tokarev holster, and I told them I would love to have a left-handed one when they were able to do a left-handed mold. Well, they did, and sent me this example. It allows lots of options in how it mounts to your belt, as well as being made for either hand and in several colors. They did a great job, and I'm quite happy to recommend their work to you.
Note: The holster fits TT30 and TT33 Tokarevs in original configuration, or with import safeties added to the trigger or slide. There are a couple import safety designs that put the safety just behind the trigger, and these do not fit properly.
Disclaimer: BGS did not pay for this beyond sending me the sample holster. If I didn't think it was a good product I simply would not have shown it.
Oh, you want to know more about the Tokarev? I think the pistol is a much better gun than some people might give it credit for. It is slim and light, and this one at least has a quite good trigger. The lack of a safety is a hindrance from a modern carry perspective, but was not really an issue in its military application, where it would have been carrier chamber empty in a flap holster anyway. This example is a really nice 1942 dated Russian one, brought back by a vet.

All major global transactions companies - such as Visa, PayPal, etc - automatically execute the exchange for foreign currency at the current market rate and tack on a fee (usually very small these days). All you have to do is click “purchase” and enter your credit card number or sign on to PayPal, etc., just as we do domestically. Do not be afraid to buy from reputable online retailers overseas. The only thing you have to be prepared for is slightly longer or very much longer shipping times — depending on which carrier is chosen (FedEx, DHL, national postal services). Some foreign postal services are shockingly slow - and can take two weeks or more. Once in a VERY rare while a package will get dropped out of the queue at the border and get stuck in a U.S. Customs warehouse for a couple of weeks.

outchy! that "in front of the head" was a... kind of true but mean meeeaaaan comment. for what they use to cost not a bad pistol but the... no safety on a SA. they are rather slim and rather light, huh.

I have never bought anything that costs Euros instead of US dollars, how does that work?

Just tap into your inner Fairbairn and you'll be fine. It even looks kinda like a 1908 if you don't get too close.
"So weird to see Tokarev shots in the front of the head" :) Still a beautiful pistol, and the holster looks fabulous.
