What do you think of the 7.62X25mm Tokarev Pistol?

I started with a .22 Webley Mark IV, an 1860 Army Colt and then got a Luger, so my Hungarian M48 (TT-33 clone) came very late (about 30 years ago).

Lightweight, snappy, reliable, easy to maintain, rugged, accurate.

I HAVE seen one go shot-for-shot on 175-yard carbine targets. That was in a Winter shoot at CFB Shilo when the guy's M-1 Carbine froze up; other shooter on the team used the Tok to do all the Carbine targets.

Triggers can be stoned. A decent smith should be able to do one in his sleep; they aren't rocket science. Mine breaks clean and even, about 8 pounds: fine for what I am doing.

Would I take one to the range? Have done so many times.

Would I take one into a fight? Only if the other guy was 50 or 75 yards away. Closer and I want an RPG and a cellphone with a movie camera!

Tok is a good little gun, very much underrated and underappreciated. Flat trajectory really helps us old guys with bad eyesight.

Worth the money? Worth double or more: incredible value at current prices.

What else is to know?

If calibers had personalities...Mr 9mm would start nervously mumbling and kicking idly in the dust when 7.62 x 25mm shows up. They are a snappy , fun & cheap round.
 
I love my TT33, i am new to the hangun world as well and am on a budget. My ammo cost is 19.95 a box of 50 S&B. My pistol was made in 53 and was brand new surpluss. It shoots great and is the closest thing to a 1903 colt i will probably ever have. Good Luck.
