Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Norinco TU-90 and 213 pistols are emblematic of a fascinating chapter in firearms history, blending Soviet design heritage with Chinese innovation and adaptation. Stemming from Mao's China and Stalin's Soviet Union's brief alliance, the Type 51 and subsequent Type 54 pistols emerged, drawing from the TT-33 Tokarev design and serving as staples of Chinese front-line service for decades. With the formation of Norinco in the wake of normalized trade relations between the U.S. and China, these firearms found their way into American hands, albeit in modified forms. The TU-90 and 213 represent ingenious solutions to the scarcity of 7.62x25 Tokarev ammunition, utilizing the more readily available 9mm NATO round. While the initial models featured unique design elements, such as widened grips and spacer-equipped magazines, subsequent iterations refined the design to better emulate the original Tokarev styling. Despite their idiosyncrasies, including peculiar manual safeties, these pistols garnered a following among collectors and enthusiasts alike for their functional reliability and collectible nature, especially as import restrictions effectively halted their availability in the U.S. since the early 1990s. As relics of a bygone era of firearms importation and innovation, the Norinco 213 pistols hold a unique allure for aficionados of unconventional firearm designs and banned imports, embodying the intersection of geopolitics and firearm manufacturing.
