Though the QSZ-92 (Type 92) has replaced the Type 54 in the Army, the weapon is still in service in some of the Chinese armed forces (such as the People's Armed Police and some People's Liberation Army troops) today. This type of pistol is commonly available in 7.62x25mm caliber, although some variants have been made in 9x19mm Parabellum. In 1954, after approximately 250,000 pistols were manufactured, the designation was changed to Type 54 and the pistol used exclusively indigenous components. Type 54 was first adopted in 1951 and produced in Shenyang's Factory 66 as the improved version of the Type 51 (Chinese copy of the TT-33) using both Russian and Chinese-made parts after the Korean War. The Type 54 (Traditional Chinese:54式手槍, Simplified Chinese: 54式手枪) and its variants( Type 51, M20, TU-90 and Model 213 pistols) are Chinese copies of the Soviet type Tokarev TT-33.
