Frequently Asked Questions
Zastava M57 Tokarev for sale
How much is a Zastava M57 worth?
Zastava M57 pistols vary widely in price depending on condition and seller. New prices average anywhere from around $346 to $585, while used examples average roughly $334 to $404. Individual listings range from approximately $330 to $420. Seven retailers currently stock this 7.62x25 Tokarev semi-auto.
Is the Zastava M57 a good pistol?
Whether it's "good" depends on your needs. M57s offer solid ergonomics with a longer grip than standard Tokarevs, accurate shooting, and historical appeal. The 7.62x25 cartridge is potent but snappy. Priced around $392, they suit range use if you appreciate vintage Yugoslav pistols and can source ammunition.
Is the Zastava M57 still made?
The M57 is likely still in limited production, though demand is very low. Zastava Arms USA currently lists a factory-refurbished version, and surplus M57s remain available through various retailers, typically priced around $392.
What caliber is the M57 zastava?
The Zastava M57 is chambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev, a bottlenecked cartridge originally developed for the Soviet TT-33 pistol.
Is 7.62x25 more powerful than 9mm?
7.62x25 Tokarev generates more energy than 9mm—its lighter, faster bullet delivers roughly 100 additional foot-pounds over standard 9mm loads. This gives it exceptional penetration. However, 9mm ammunition is far more available today and offers well-documented terminal performance.
What is the difference between Tokarev and Zastava M57?
The Tokarev TT-33 is the Soviet original, holding eight rounds. Yugoslavia's 1957 Zastava M57 features a longer grip holding nine rounds. Both fire 7.62x25mm. M57 magazines won't fit standard TT-33 pistols, but M57 pistols accept original TT-33 magazines.
What is the best year of the M57?
The Zastava M57 has been in continuous production since 1957 with no significant design changes between years, so there is no standout "best year." Current production models are consistent and reliable, typically priced around $392 across seven retailers.
