The China North Industries Group Corporation Limited (Norinco) in Beijing manufactures a commercial variant of the Russian Tokarev TT-33 pistol which is a short-recoil operated, locked-breech pistol with a Colt M1911 / Browning-type action.
Known as the Tokarev Model 213 and chambered in the more common 9×19mm Parabellum round, it features a safety catch and thin slide grip grooves.
The 9×19mm model has a magazine well block mounted in the rear of the magazine well to accept 9×19mm-type magazines without frame modification.
I enjoy having something just a little different from the mainstream. I got a decent price on this and although it is heavy and the safety is awkward, it is a reliable shooter at the range. It refinished nicely too!
