Why wouldn't you want a Tokarev? It's a classic pistol, rugged as a farm implement and in a hard hitting caliber. You'd probably be better armed with a Tokarev than a 1911 (flame suit on...
).
I'm still looking for a nice Russian TT-33, but have one Romanian shooter and a Chinese Type 54. I really lucked out on the T54, I found it at the local gun show where it had been sitting for two days in plain view on a table next to the entrance. I found it an hour before closing time, but thought "there's been hundreds of people walking by and nobody bought it, must be something wrong with it". I walked out without even looking closer at it, but on the way home I had second thoughts. I raced back and bought it, and after inspection I found that it was a really nice non-import with original holster. I paid $600 for it, and have seen T54s in similar condition sell (actual sale, not asking price) for $1,200. Not sure what a nice Russian will bring, but they are not cheap anymore.
