The M57 is a full-size, all-steel pistol chambered in 7.62x25 Tokarev, built with a short-recoil, locked-breech, single-action-only system and an external spurred hammer. Its 4.6-inch steel barrel and approximately 7.87-inch overall length reflect the classic Tokarev profile adapted by Zastava for extended capacity and grip length.
Construction is robust with a blued steel slide and frame, complemented by ribbed black synthetic grips bearing Zastava medallions. Sights are practical and durable: a fixed front blade paired with a rear notch for straightforward alignment.
As a Century Arms International import, this example carries the C.A.I. Georgia, VT mark on the right side of the slide, along with a small crest/proof stamp on the chamber hood. The manual safety was installed by the importer for U.S. compliance while preserving the pistol's original single-action operation.
M57-specific features include its lengthened grip frame and 9-round single-stack magazine, offering a 9+1 capacity in this configuration. This pistol includes one 9-round magazine as shown.
