Are new production Zasatava m57's as good as old ones?

Post by nightwatch »

I'm considering a new production M57. Has anyone had experience with them or know of any comparisons to the old Yugoslavian ones? I have a Romanian Tok and might collect one of each variety for the fun of it! Thanks for any info.

It is the same gun but with a better safety. I would wait next year, Zastave is coming out with the PPZ a pistol that holds 18-20 rounds of 7.62x25mm.

I just bought the new M57.., love it!

Feeds and fires flawlessly (shoots a bit high mine does however) and is easy to clean and breakdown.

Fit nicely in my hand, no hammer bite and recoil is manageable... Can shoot it all day! Wonderful steel gun, weighted nicely.

Wouldn't recommend for carry, the slide release pin is held in place by a clip on right side of gun... Would catch on holster or clothing
