Norinco Model 213 9mm Tokarev-Pattern Pistol, Factory 66, Blued, 4.6" Barrel, 7-Round
This Norinco Model 213 is a Chinese-made, factory 66 Tokarev-pattern pistol chambered in 9mm Luger. It retains the classic TT-33 look while adding the U.S.-required frame safety, making it a collectible import that has been banned from further importation since 1994. Matching serial numbers on the frame and slide, a clean bore, and its original blued carbon-steel construction give this full-size sidearm solid appeal for shooters and collectors who want a 9mm Tokarev variant.

Built on the proven TT-33 design, the Model 213 substitutes 9mm chambering for the original 7.62×25, giving owners easier ammunition availability while retaining the pistol’s slim, single-stack profile. The strong single-action trigger, external ring hammer, and half-cock notch provide familiar controls for those accustomed to classic service pistols.
The pistol is finished in a uniform blued treatment over carbon-steel frame, slide, and barrel. Rear slide serrations offer positive purchase, while the ribbed black plastic grips with star medallions complete the traditional Tokarev look.
A frame-mounted manual safety was added to meet U.S. import requirements, distinguishing this import from wartime TT-33s yet preserving its original mechanical simplicity. The heel-mounted lanyard loop remains intact for authentic service carry configuration.
Marked with the triangle 66 arsenal code and Interstate L.A. CA import stamp, this pistol represents one of the last shipments allowed before the 1994 executive order halted further import of Chinese military arms. Matching numbers on the frame and slide confirm original factory assembly.
