I recently purchased a pistol on Gunbroker. I really didn't want it all that much and placed a low ball bid that ended up winning. So now I have a new pistol, it's based on a Tokarev pistol but is chopped and channeled and is in 9mm as opposed to 7.62x25mm. Made in Serbia (don't care for Serbia at all) but was twice removed as I bought it from a gunshop that bought it from the original owner. It's new, never been fired and looks to be barely fondled, still has the packing grease all over the internals. It's a M88A made by Zastava Arms and it is quite interesting.
This is a pic of it next to one of my CZ P-01's for a size comparison. The P-01 was what they use to call a compact gun (same size as a Glock 19), the categories have gotten skewed with the newer mini's and tiny guns out there.
It's a very thin gun, single stack 9+1 rounds but weighs a bit as it is a all steel framed gun. Pretty close in size to a Glock 43 9mm. Has a decently thought out safety, the trigger is service pistol quality but it being based on a Tokarev means that it is a Browning 1903 in many ways, so the trigger could be lightened easily. It has the Tokarev basket firing group that pulls out easily for cleaning, something that I don't know why other gun makers haven't followed.
Going to shoot it tomorrow and see how I like it, for $200 what's not to like?
