The M70A is factory-chambered in 9×19 mm, making ammunition easy to source while retaining the unmistakable Tokarev profile. Its forged steel frame and slide provide long-term durability, and the polished blued finish offers a traditional look that resists wear.
A slide-mounted thumb safety and magazine disconnect were added for U.S. import compliance, giving the pistol modern safety features without altering its classic lines. The removable hammer-sear fire-control module simplifies maintenance and mirrors the original Tokarev design.
Sights consist of a dovetailed front blade and drift-adjustable rear notch, allowing precise alignment. The external spur hammer and single-action trigger deliver a crisp break, while the 9-round single-stack magazines keep the grip profile slim and familiar.
Proof marks reading “C.A.I. GEORGIA, VT” and “ZASTAVA, SERBIA” confirm its import path and authentic Serbian manufacture. For collectors seeking an original Zastava Tokarev variant in 9mm, this M70A offers both historical significance and practical range performance.
