Just picked up the last Tok at my local gun shop. I have a couple of questions. Why is the slide stop so easy to release? Looks to be squared off, and solid. Are there any ammo restrictions other than the subgun bulgarian ammo? How's the accuracy? It's too bad that that I can't carry this concealed. It feels nice in the hand, and it's really flat.

I assume it is a Polish Tok b/c these are the only ones I have ever seen to do that. Yes the slide stop is round and wont hold open at times. They have a Polish Tok at the local funshop and it did that all the time even when we test-fired it it wont hold the slide open after last round :eek: so it might need a new slide stop. However I have picked up a Chinese Tok with Type 54 markings on top of slide made in 1959 :cool: which is great.
now my 2c on the ammo....I have put Bulgarian string-tied ammo, Czech silvertip steelcore, Norinco copper wash and Winchester 7.62x25 ( 13.50 a box though :p ) thru mine with no problems, blow ups etc. From what I have been reading the only kind to avoid is the Bulgarian in PINK paper string-tied bundles which they say is overloaded. Some of the Bulgarian I shot had hard primers on a few rounds had to click-click -click and then it finally went bang but other than that no probs. The Winchester seemed a bit wimpy and so did the Chinese, Bulgarian was OK and the Czech a bit hot and dirtier than the rest. All of the stuff except for the pricey Winchester is corrosive as hell so you know what to do...bust out the Hoppe's 7.62 ammonia solution and give it a good soak.
I shot mine at a paper target at 15 yards and got 3 rnd groups of about 3 and a half inches which I consider decent...aim small miss small.
You can carry it concealed. I carry mine in the waist on the hip with a jacket on....no print. The only drawback is you must carry it either with hammer down on empty or at half-cock, that damn add-on-to-comply-with-1968-gun-act-safety doesnt work too well.
The nice thing about a Tok and 7.62x25 is its capability to defeat soft body armor which some thugs will wear these days.
