I have owned at least a half Dozen Tokarevs over the years, I own a Romanian now.
Shot thousands of rounds through the guns.
They are decent pistols, no doubt.
Advocating for one as a carry pistol in this, the modern world, is simply ridiculous in my humble educated opinion.
Heck, I don't even mind the possibility of the Cops keeping or holding a $600 handgun until things are sorted out if that's what I used to defend myself.
I own several other good modern choices I can carry while I'm waiting to get the weapon returned to me.
Would I use a Tokarev to defend myself?
Yep, in a heartbeat or less if that is all I had at hand, but realistically I would be saving my pennies for something better and I sure wouldn't risk snapping the sear off the half cock notch, possibly causing a neg discharge and certainly rendering the gun useless until repaired.
Again, advocating that manner of carry FOR ANY HANDGUN as a sound practice is in poor form and poor judgement, in my humble opinion.
