    Tokarev vs. Makarov

    I am looking to get an old milsurp pistol. Personally I appeal to the older weapons (WWII and earlier) but in this case it doesn't matter much to me. Plain and simple which is the better all around pistol as far as collectability, reliability, simplicity, accuracy, ammunitiion (effectiveness, availability, etc...), and possibly a carry gun although it would most likely be a gun that I'd take to the range every now and then. Also, the CZ 52 seems like a good one. Any thoughts or opinions?
    ...thanks

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Well, both are collectible as both were made by many different countries. Both are reliable and easy to take down. I would say the Tok has more inherent accuracy for the simple fact it has a longer barrel. Ammo.?? Hands down the Tok wins. Carry.?? That's up to you entirely, I carry a 1911,the MAk is smaller with less punch, the Tok is just about the same size as a Hi Power but slimmer with a wicked fast round. Both have 8rd mags. Don't know about the CZ....

    would you happen to know which would probably fit better with large hands?

    I would imagine the tok has a better trigger too since it is similar to the 1911
