TT-33 KWA vs SRS vs Real

[Walther38]

Now I can add some personal impressions on both TTs - from SRC and KWA.
The conclussions are in good accordance to my motto "nobody's perfect".
In general they are very good replicas but none of them should get 10/10.
KWA has better blow-back, better resemblance od the internals but is lacking details as firing pin retaining pin, lacking ear at the magazine bottom plate, unperfect localization of the front barrel bushing (to low) and especially the wobbling trigger (that was intended to be a kind of safety but in practice is not) and its overall shape and finally the external barrel is made of plastic.
On the other hand SRC hammer is not resembling the real one (shift of the axis of rotation and absence of the first portion of the hammer) with the internals. Although detailed dimentions of replica are better than KWA reflecting original (e.g. thickness of frame and slide) the disassembly is strange. Whereas in KWA where you remove the front barrel bushing you will be able to remove the barrels (external and internal) as one piece moving them to the front (as in 1911), in SRC it is impossible. You have to remove the internal barrel (with Hop-Up chamber) first then the external barrel can be removed as it should be - to the front of slide. What is the reason of this - in 1911 replicas and KWA replica both barrels are tilting at the first stage of slide movement backward. In SRC the inner barrel is fixed and moves only the extermal barrel.To keep this barrel at place the size (height and thickness) shoul be proper. Some other remarks consider details - front barrel bushing is not very well resembles original and grips are to light that causes the overall weight of SRC to be 610 grams in comparison to 746 grams (KWA) and 780 grams of real TT (in fact TT-S).
Finally - SRC barrel is metal and resembles better an original one - it has the immitation of 4 groves (as it should be) whereas KWA has 6 groves. On the other hand locking ribs on KWA resemble better an original. On SRC they resemble TT-30 rather.
Final simple conclussions:
If you are not a fan of detailed by 99% replica but you would like that it should look better(more realistic) you should paint the external barrel gun metal (chrome) paint (KWA) or remove the black paint from SRC barrel.

Now I have a Polish made TT pistol (from 1947) at the same factory that was producing Vis (Radom Eagle) pistol.






Target "free hand" shooting - 5 m distance, black circle 5 cm, 10 2,5g BBs.
KWA vs SRC. Not a great difference.
