The M88A is the compact iteration of Zastava’s Tokarev-pattern design, retaining the robust steel frame and slide while shortening the barrel to 3.8 inches for easier carry. The barrel and slide are hammer-forged steel, and the pistol wears a high-polish metallic finish with black checkered polymer grips.
Operation is single-action, locked-breech (SAO), with a slide-mounted manual safety and a firing pin block. Rear slide serrations aid manipulation, and the fixed sight setup consists of a front blade and rear notch.
Capacity is 8+1 with the included single-stack magazine. Dimensions are practical for a compact steel pistol, with an overall length of approximately 6.9 inches, height around 5.3 inches, and an unloaded weight without magazine of about 1.67 pounds. The barrel has 6-groove rifling.
Markings include HKI – Tampa, FL import stamp and Zastava – Serbia factory marking, confirming origin and import path. This example also shows matching assembly numbers on the barrel hood, slide, and frame flats, indicating fitted major components. An installed skeletonized three-hole curved trigger completes the configuration.
