Two stars because Igor made the pistol delivered to me. And he was good at communicating up to the day he sent me UPS tracking number
BUT
I had a phone talk with the Igor before I bought the pistol. He assured me the pistol has no mechanical issues, he also said he was shooting the pistol and it works flawlessly. I received the pistol yesterday afternoon. I found a serious mechanical issue right away. When the slide comes to closed position (forward), the hammer jumps off the full cock to half-cock, blocking the trigger and action.
I didn’t fire it, but obviously, this semi-auto pistol will be shootable only as single action, manually re-cocking the hammer before each shot.
The trigger is feather-light, which isn’t normal for a military surplus WWII pistol. My best guess – the triggering group is wrecked up by an unprofessional attempt to do a “trigger job”.
I tried to reach back to Igor by phone and email. No reply.

The pistol is TT-33 manufactured in 1945.
Gun was just as advertised. Great and friendly seller. Would definitely recommend Igor and would by from him again.
Excellent guy to deal with. Highly recommend. A+++
