Are the chinese pistols in spec with the original like the Tokarevs and 1911's are. Basically would a Walther mag work in the chinese copy TT?

    I spoke with a few owners before buying....they praised the gun very much. They wouldnt sell me theirs so thats saying something I guess.

    I have both a pre-war Walther and the Navy Arms import. The import is an excellent copy that only is lesser in regards to the quality of the wood grips. The magazines and weights interchange, so I imagine most of the other part will as well. At the time he imported them, I told Val Forgett the only mistake he made with them was to price them too low. People thought they must not have been good quality, because of the price.

    I bought one about 7 years ago when they were being closed out. I thought it was a good deal at $140. I have been happy with mine. I also was able to buy several extra mags from CDNN at the time for $10 each.

    I have one and like it, except for the lousy grips. Guess I will make a set someday. I have never used the front weight, either. It shoots good!
