I've decided to try and get a Norinco tokarev clone in 9 mm (price), and I am wondering if anybody has ever had any good or bad things to say about in terms of quality (You get what you pay for), reliability and accuracy.
 
I've been shooting one since 1992. I bought two of these for $89 each back then. I had over 55,000 rounds through it with absolutely no FTF, FTE, whatsoever, and it was my most accurate pistol. It shot where I aimed it each time, every time. I've outshot guys with pistols that cost 15 times as much. Sometimes more expensive does not equal better.
My brother has been bugging me for years to give him one, since we couldn't get any more down here in the States. I gave him the one I'd been shooting, and brought out the safe queen. He is still shooting it, still no problems.
 
Does anyone know of a good gunsmith who does trigger jobs on these guns.

I realize that it is not an expensive gun but since the whole trigger/hammer unit comes out, I would think it would be easy to mail the unit , have it done & mailed back.
 
I'd recommend some really fine sandpaper to enhance feeding and if you're reloading 9mm, be aware that the gun appears to be quite finicky concerning bullet shape (defintely doesn't like truncated cone) and OAL.

I own some Norinco firearms, they're great. But this 9mm Tok clone is weird as hell... IMHO they shouldn't be made.

i get a 9mm handgun for 99 dollars, thats about 5boxes of ammo for my .270

so i get another gun at the range to teach people to shoot with, for the price of ammo that i would shoot at 2 trips to the range, why SHOULDNT they be made?
