Factory Z111 K14-VN

     Vietnam produced some Tokarev TT-33 variants; these examples are almost uniformly poor in quality. However, the newest Vietnamese service pistol, the K14-VN, is a variant of the Tokarev, and is not poor in quality. It is otherwise based on the K54, which is a Vietnamese version of the TT-33.  Except for the better-quality parts and construction, it is internally similar to the TT-33/K54.  It does, however, have the half-cock feature of its Browning base, but there are no other manual or passive safeties. One of the most notable differences between the K14-VN and the TT-33 is the wider gripframe, which houses a larger-capacity 13-round double -stack magazine. Another is the barrel and slide, which houses a full 5-inch barrel as opposed to the TT-33’s 4.6-inch barrel. Finishes are black with black hard rubber grip plates. The K14-VN is a rather large pistol, but reasonably accurate and served with lots of ammunition.
