Tokarev

[jimpierce7]

Would a Tokarev be a good pistol to have. Ammo is a little pricey compared to 9mm. C&R pistols the same as rifles? <<<<< A California question

Dont they make a 9mm model of the Tok? M70 maybe? I just looked and yes they do. Ive always kinda wanted one of those. $229 from classic and all steel.

I do think thats modern manufacture though.

Tokarevs are good pistols. I have a Chinese and a Romanian. Both are great shooters. I found 9mm barrels for both guns, so that, in the time it takes to field-strip, you can change the caliber. 9mm and 7.62 will both feed from the same magazines flawlessly.

Get yourself one, you won't be disappointed.

the one I see is 7.62, 1955 for $400. I'm guessing that's kind of high?

Yes too high; check AIM Surplus. They have refurbished Romanian and Polish (Radom) for 250 or less. I bought the Polish and it shoots very well; looks like new. I also own a CZ-52 in 7.62x25. I will reserve the 9x19 for more modern shooters that I have (Glock).

I have a Romy & a Cz-52... Love them both. I picked up a tin of 7.62x25 back when it was cheap & that should keep me going for a while. Fun shooters, I say get one.

This one comes with a belt holster (won't be much good for me) 100 rounds of ammo and two 8 round clips.

being as all I am looking for in a pistol is something to take out to the range with my wife, (I saw the AIM guns come the same as the one I saw, less ammo) this would surely work as well for me, and keep with my current Russian theme?

[jimpierce7]

Seems, AIM, Classic and Slickguns seem to be the places that have the Tokarev? Seems none of our sponsors have them at the moment.

I have a Romanian Tokarev and really like it. The triggers of these older guns will wear in nicely. It is one of the more accurate pistols I have. Since it is all steel the recoil is quite comfortable. I'm starting to see the ammo at around the same price as .45 online. It is a smokin bullet when you shoot the 7.62. Look up some of the ballistics.

I picked up a 1942 tokarev tt 33 last year and I love it.

Put a little over a 1000 rounds through it and it still goes bang when I pull the trigger..lol

at 5 yards an egg is history..
at 10 yards I can make grapefruit juice..haha
at 15 yards I can deflate a beachball..
at 20 yards or more it's pretty much a spray and pray...

But they are a rugged and fun little gun..

[jimpierce7]

Its funny. My nieces baby daddy, good guy, mostly, knows weapons. Very well. His first recommendation to me was a Tokarev to keep my Russian theme going. And they do seem my type of pistol. Old enough to be an old pistol but new enough to still work real well.
I will surely decide tomorrow. A Tokarev will also open up a few more dollars for a VKT........ Did I say that already? Maybe my LGS will have one there? Hmm. Or order one?

Is a Polish Tokarev better than a Romanian?

Is a Polish Tokarev better than a Romanian?

Slightly more desirable (at least ot me). The Radom factory represented by the "11" marking has a good reputation. Overall not a lot of difference between Romanian and Polish.

I bought a Yugo Tok with the extra round mag. I like the flat high speed ballistics and the slender feel compared to a 1911 or a Glock. Good price and ammo is not that much more expensive. I got a package deal when I bought mine. 800 rounds for less than same number of 45s

Here Jim---Southern Ohio Gun has them for $199.00

I actually almost purchased a Norinco Tok the other day, had them down to $200 OTD but passed as I had just purchaed the Enfield no2.. I have always wanted a Tok though.. Might have to go back.

really like them ,there was or still is now a surplus magazine on the newsstands recently ,likely can still find it' surplus rifles" has 3 surplus rifles on the front cover ,has a whole article on Tokarevs ,EXCELLENT job only trouble was they did not have a Russian one to feature ,but did have 5 or 6 of all the other choices made ,great read . I have only the Russian T33 1950 so far ,want an earlier version Russian as well ,no import marks ,so that's cool .One thing to remember on these guns ! no safety unless it has an import safety added or the version your buying has an added safety integrated in it . this is all before loaded and drop testing type stuff ,so caution is warrented ,they kinda call it a half cocked safety thing ,but its not ,your not really going to walk around with it half cocked to be safer ??? kind of the traditional pun . anyhow watch out if no safety .
