er, no, the tokerov is substantially stronger then the CZ-52. The 52 is more ergonomic and lighter, but the chamber area is much thinner then that on the tok, making it weaker.

The round will penetrate most threat IIIA vests, but isn't considered armor piercing by our authorities, happily gang bangers all over the country haven't figured this out yet. I found shooting the tok fun, but not a paticularly comfortable pistol. The grip angle is just a bit wierd. That being said, I'll grab one sooner or later. I'd like a russian one but will probably end up with a chinese. The ammo is quite snappy, I find 9mm easier to shoot fast, but its probably more in my head then hand, just more flash and bang...
I find the grip angle of the Tokarev to be comfortable. LIke anything else it takes getting used to. Some people always feel a need to compare a new pistol to another. It's like the comparison of apples to oranges. Accept the Tokarev for what it is and enjoy the blast 'cuz it's a blast.
If anyone knows how to lighten the trigger do let me know. For our free brothers to the south who have the ability to CCW, carrying the Tok with a round in the chamber and the hammer at half #### may be safe as the trigger is so stiff it is like a safety. Wouldn't want to try and pull the slide to chamber a round in a hurry as the hammer is so stiff it locks the slide almost.
I think it is a great pistol for carry and for plinking. The surplus ammunition is excellent. I have not had any problems with either the pistol (Norinco) or the Czech ammunition (bxn53). A good little pistol.
