How are Tokarev (and variants) in terms of performance? The price of a nearly 200 dollar pistol always appealed to me and I picked one up at turners and it felt really good in my hands. However, I read that Stalin's most infamous executioner, Vasili Blokhin used German pistols to execute thousands of people. This made me question the performance of the handgun. Either way, I suppose a Tokarev is still a neat gun due to historic value...

Tokarev pistol performance?
Tags: None -
Love mine. Bought it from Turner's several weeks ago. Only been to the range with it once, but it functioned flawlessly and was pretty accurate. Throws the brass a long ways!"Bye Felicia!" - Said by me, as I looked at Kalfornia in my rearview for the last time, 9/22/17.

My experience is from the '80's and '90's, when mullets ruled the world!
If azzholes could fly, this place would be an airport!
I support gun control.....if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it!
You go ahead and give peace a chance. I'll cover you if it doesn't work out! -
Uh, they penetrate fairly well.

Yep, love mine. Spits fire and flings brass. Cool cartridge, fascinating history, aesthetically pleasing. For $250-300 dollars they are an incredible value.
Get one and don't look back.Comment

Unless you plan on preforming mass executions, TT should do just fine...How are Tokarev (and variants) in terms of performance?

I know, I apologize for crude comment.
Personally, I have never put more than 50 rounds through my TT at one time, but don't see reliability issue as a factor.
As for round - it is a very hot high penetration round."There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket."

I can't remember mine jamming.
Guns seem very reliable and simple durable design. Like the way magazines feed, does not rely on magazine lips, but rather they feed using heavy steel lips as part of the trigger group. Magazines can be bent up some, but would still feed.
Note long time extensions to the right of this picture.
Seems to me a great idea not sure why it never caught on.
Cheap surplus ammo not available anymore. You will pay 10 cents or more per round than 9mm to shoot.
Also mags only hold 8 or 9 depending on if yugo or other country.Last edited by bonusweb; 01-04-2015, 11:24 AM.Comment
