Got this today, fired 50 rounds without a hitch. It's pretty accurate although it sdhoots a bit low for me so far. Overall I'm impressed for the money I spent, although it did come very heavily oiled which is sort of annoying lol

My Chinese version is similar. It has been reliable for me so far and feels good in the hand.

Theres actually a Chinese tokarev at a local pawn shop I was thinking of getting lol
 
If you file down the front sight a tad, and then give it a bit of cold blue touch up, you will solve your low shooting issue. Had to do that to mine.
9 fingers
 
Tagging on to the OP's reviews...I had a chance to shoot a friend's M88 yesterday along with my Zastava M70A (& some other 9mm's). Although I really like the size and the grips, I got a touch of slide bite with about 20 rounds on my fleshy hands. It shot well and reliably with about 50 rounds between the two of us.

Antihero, keep us updated on yours!

I fired a bunch of different weight jhp and it ate everything without a hitch. I am hesitant to fire my +p and NATO stuff because I can't without a doubt say its rated for plus p
 
I believe the reason these pistols shoot low isn't due to the front sight but the loose tolerance with the barrel bushing. I have inconsistent shots in elevation. Things i would suggest getting would be norinco 213 mags (numrich gun parts) and a standard tokarev hammer with half cock. I lost count as to how many rounds i have put through this pistol but have had 0 issues.


**edit - the only thing i dislike about it is the brass sometimes ejects to my forehead**

Another hundred rounds thru it, no malfunction. Still shoots low but groups better with 147 gr so far.

Anyone know if they are plus p rated?
