The Tokarev is an amazing pistol, you just have to know how to treat it. It was made for a purpose different from today's needs; if you treat it like a modern pistol, you could get hurt.
Here is an excellent guide for how to properly use a Tokarev:

A brief overview:
- Do not trust the aftermarket safety.
- It was made for a full flap holster.
- Positive firing pin; DO NOT UNCOCK THE HAMMER WITH A ROUND IN THE CHAMBER
- You could carry it chambered and half cocked, but it is safer to carry it on empty chamber. If you do carry it chamber loaded; PLEASE DON'T DROP IT!
- Replacing all the springs doesn't just make it work better, it makes it safer.
- Use non marring tools when working on it; communist blueing.
- When disassembling, don't let the recoil spring fly out (and hit you in the eye).
- For more accuracy, don't white-knuckle grip it.
- Be very careful where you shoot it; the bullets are EXTREMELY penetrative. (They can zip through level IIIA body armor; which a .44 Mag cannot penetrate!)
