Sushant Request for info : TT30 and Weffen .32

Post by eljefe » Sat Apr 11, 2020 4:07 pm

Posting this on behalf of Sushant as he had difficulty navigating the menu


Hi can anyone suggest if replacing a TT30 with a Weffen .32 Browing will be a good deal? Can post pics also if required.
Thanks and regards

By 'weffen', I think you mean FN browning pistol. There are three models of FN browning pistols available in India. Model 1900, 1910 and 1922.

Model 1900 was the first pistol made by FN browning. It is too old and an obsolete design to own. Model 1910 has seven round magazine and model 1922 is nine rounds magazine pistol. Model 1922 has longer barrel than 1910.

Comparing FN browning and Tokarev, the 7.62x25 Tokarev cartridge is way ahead than .32 acp cartridge in terms of stopping power. Also Indian .32 acp cartridge is not reliable at all and imported .32 acp cartridges costs ruppes 600 to 700 a pop.

If I were you, I would have kept the Tokarev. I know Tokarev inside out, very easy to disassemble and clean. Tokarev is reliable, powerful, sleek and easy to carry. Tokarev is much better looking than the FN Browning pistol and also Tokarev parts are easily available.

I agree with Vineet ji very much. My dad has a Type54 Pistol chambered in 7.62x25 mm Soviet. This cartridge has very few equal or more in terms of stopping power and availability is also decent.

Forgot to mention, Tokarev cartridges, both FMJ and JHP easily available at almost Indian .32 acp cartridge price.
