How do you like it compared to your CZ? I remember when those things were really inexpensive, but I think that the prices have gone up considerably.

Similar to the CZ accuracywise. Not sure cause I'm just kind of getting the hang of shooting it. I seemed to have several groupings very tight with it, compared to the Cz, but the CZ had more in the black I think but there was more distance between the individual holes. This tells me it may shoot better if I can figure out how to hold it right. It points really well and the trigger is decent. I can outshoot the old .45 with it for sure

Very cool snag, HD. :thumbup:
Now you two reasons to order a case of 7.62x25 from AIM- 80's Romaniaian.
I've been feeding it to my CZ52. It's good ammo. And shipping on that AND a case of Polish 7.62x54r was only $18. Made the UPS driver crap- it's 60 lbs. His pants were already brown 2x from seeing the grenade launcher sticking out of one of the mysterious long heavy boxes I get.
Hope the Tok was affordable- they shot up in price from a year ago. I want one, but not for $350.
You might try a Houge Handall on your CZ, it helps with the odd grip angle. Doesn't sound like you have any trouble shooting it.

Looks like it could do your toking for you ! L:O:L Are you able to shoot on your own land or just go on a traipse through the woods ?

Ad,
How do you like the Romanian? I have shot it and the accuracy was not the best and I had to push the slide shut a lot on my CZ52. It was not this particular batch though. On the other hand I have shot a case and a half of the Polish Sportsmans guide with only maybe 1 or 2 non fires and no malfunctions.
Kevin,
I have a little gun range set up out here about 15 yards from my side porch. I got 85 acres but I am surrounded by parcels of 60 to 100 plus acres mostly unoccupied so there's lots of room to hike, but I only live 45 min from Ferguson's birthplace of Charleston, which I think is the largest city.:thumbup:

That's the story of WV. You are forever making friends and then having to say goodbye to them when they move out of state. Luckily we have finally found a group of folks are hanging on. Actually if you get a degree or some kind of education you can usually find a decent job. We could move and double or triple our salaries doing the same job(we both work for the gov't) but it would be hard to find as much land for as cheap, and low property taxes anywhere else.

Well, the only other I've fired is some 50's Euro... this Rom. is cleaner burning for sure.
Slide not closing... remember these guns were made 50 years ago. I changed out my recoil spring to a Wolff 16.5 spring immediately. Sounds like you need one too. $8. I think Wolff springs are the cheapest/best investment you can make in a firearm.... One clue my CZ needed one was it ejected brass wayyy far- like 30 ft. Sign of a weak recoil spring- they should just eject a few feet (IMHO- I'm no authority- don't confuse my shooting enthusiasm for expertise). It's never jammed with either ammo, though I had one of the older stuff get stuck in the chamber.
Accuracy, I can't tell. If it shoots 6-10" at the range I'm happy. With my arthritis and nerve damage, I'm not shooting for the Olympic team.
Rom. headstamp reads "22" at 12 o'colock, "83" at six. I'd give you a couple boxes if you were nearby.
Oh- you want to shoot some GREAT 7.62x25- tokarev.com has 85 grain jacket hollowpoint stuff made in Portugal(?). Non-corrosive, feeds, functions fine.
I used to test ammo in the Everglades on 2 lt. bottles filled with water- I'd really like to see what this "500 m/s" JHP could do to one.
The Tok have one of those "import-law" safeties or no?
