Hey fellow gunnies i'm fairly to restricted firearms, although not milsurps. What are your recommendations for milsurp handguns currently available on the market? I'm looking into polish tokarevs, has anyone had experience with them and what to expect condition, quality, etc. Thanks
 
I've never had a problem with mine. I have heard of broken firing pins though. Loud!
But I prefer my war time Tokarev. Just imagining who may have carried it.
 
I’ve only ever shot one Tokarev but it was a modern Norinco copy. The sear broke and it burped. I also find the take down and reassembly a bit of a pain and you risk scratching the gun.

If you mean a real milsurp and not a modern copy, the Tok price is as best as you can get for a non-12(6) (7) gun of the era. And the x25 round is a real blast to shoot!
 
anyone that you can afford to buy
tokarev
star
astra
colt
webley
enfield
s&w
browning
mauser
fn
the list goes on
Take the time to research - don't believe everything you are told and verify everything yourself to your satisfaction.

And instead of a Circle 11 Tok - look at the Yugo M57s.
 
The Polish #11 Radom factory made are top notch for accuracy.......mine hits to POA at 15 yards all into a nickle off sandbags with my handloads.
 
I find the Polish Tok to be an excellent pistol. I used one in a competition once, just to prove it was a good gun.

The classics would be a Luger and a 1911.

A Victory Smith in 38 S&W is a very nice shooter - if you handload (or know someone who does).
 
I love my 1940 Russian.... like it so much I bought a Yugo with 9 rounds for the full size feel. (Like a glock 19 and 17) Both are accurate out to 25m....and I can pie plate 80% at 50 with the Russian...didnt try the yugo that far yet. Dont waste your time on the Norincos for Tokarevs buy the polish yugo or Russians.....also know that the yugoslavian Tokarevs have a few built in safety features that at first if your used to the (dont pull the trigger safety) on the Russian it will confusing when you cant rack your gun on the yugoslavian in certain circumstances....but it was meant to do that....
 
OP, all of the above recommendations are bang on.

Sounds like you're into semi autos.

Toks are like all milsurps, if they are in excellent condition, inside and and hopefully outside they are USUALLY very decent shooters when fed proper ammo.

If you're going to shoot it, the toks are a great way to go because they are still reasonably priced and cheap surplus ammo is still available. That will all dry up over the next few years IMHO or it will become a lot more expensive.

The Lugers and 19lls are limited by their prices. Also, most Lugers are prohibited.

The other very nice milsurp for shooting are the refurbed P35 Browning Hi Powers, made in Begium and Canada. Then there are Russian Capture P38s, Ex Austrian Police P1 pistols, which are P38 clones with aluminum frames. If you really want to spend a lot of money, there are Swiss 1906/29 parabellum pistols in 7,65 chambering as well a their ex Police SIG pistols in 9x19 nato.

Enfield revolvers as well as Smith and Wesson revolvers were also issued and later surplussed. They're all good as long as condition is very good to excellent.

TURF THE LIBERALS IN 2019

Liberals really like POOR people, they're making more of them every day

Personally I am partial to the Swiss 1882 and 1929 Revolvers. The 06/29 Luger is interesting and fun, however if your looking for a shooter pistol the rebarreled German lugers in 9mm run in the 1200-1600$ range (as opposed to the 2k+ range for the 06/29 combined with being 7.65 parabellium).

Tokarevs are fun, I quite like mine (a Russian production pistol), only issue with it for me is that lanyard ring at the bottom digs into my hands as a lefty. Nagant Revolvers suck to shoot, neat but that gets a bit old in usage.

Browning Hi-Powers are pretty good guns to use as well, comfortable to grip and a fairly modern pistol design (though I tend to prefer the older more interesting designs myself).

Lots out there, my recommendations are to focus on cost to shoot as opposed to cost to buy, many are in weird obsolete calibers that will take a while to find or make.
 
Serbian Tokarev; can be bought surplus or brand-new. Slightly longer grip, one extra shot in the mag. There are some surplus Browning HPs hitting the marked right now too.
 
No lover's of wheelguns?
I've had a Luger & a 1911A1...both got moved along. S & W 2nd edition still makes it to #1 IMO. New Service isn't as nice in my hand.
 
Thanks for all the comments and recommendations guys! Will be looking into the M57 and or Polish tokarevs! Also interested in surplus cz 85b.
