What's Included
- Norinco Model 54-1 pistol
- 1x 7-round Tokarev/Type 54 single-stack steel magazine with floorplate lanyard loop
Chambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev, this Model 54-1 uses a single-action, short-recoil, locked-breech system and offers a 7+1 capacity. The 4.5 in barrel and full-size profile follow the established Tokarev pattern while incorporating the export-specific safety required for import.
The pistol is built on a blued steel frame with a blued slide. It features vertical rear slide serrations, an exposed rowel-style hammer, and black ribbed two-panel grips. A lanyard ring at the heel and the magazine’s floorplate loop provide carry and retention options consistent with the platform.
Sights consist of a fixed front blade and a square-notch rear set in a transverse dovetail that is drift-adjustable for windage. Internally, it retains the Tokarev modular hammer/sear fire-control unit design.
Markings and stamps include bilingual slide legends with the Chinese "五四式" designation and a KSI Pomona, CA importer mark. These export features align with the 54-1 pattern while preserving the core Type 54 characteristics.
