Yes, the '52 is not a polite pistol at the range, as it flings brass five stalls over. It doesn't even lob them up in the air so your range buddy can catch them like fly balls - instead they come out low and fast.
The TT-33 has been on my 'eventually' list; after reading this it has moved to my 'immediate' list.
I disagree about the looks, (as you can see I've tarted mine up a bit)
...but that's about the last criteria for a firearm, as far as I'm concerned.
