Pistols in a military context are rarely used so I'd rather carry the lighter Makrov for size and weight reasons alone. However I think the TT-33 is the better gun. Also the TT-33 recoiled less even though it uses a more powerful cartridge because it's a tilting barrel and the Makarov PM is straight blow back.

[@tommyle7376]

[@isaiahmadrid6738]

@@tommyle7376 The guns were originally meant to be carried in a flap holster with an empty chamber, and the hammer lowered (like most military semi-automatics at the time). The half-cock is only really a safety notch, meant to prevent the gun from going off in the event that the user is cocking the hammer and their thumb slips. While many of the versions that have been imported into the U.S. have been retrofitted with manual safeties of one variety or another, I wouldn't necessarily trust them too much. I owned a Yugo M57 that had been equipped with a frame mounted safety (not unlike that on the 1911), but found that the safety could be deactivated if one pulled the trigger hard enough; the guns were never meant to be equipped with a manual safety, after all. That said, I do believe the current production M57s that Zastava manufactures nowadays have slide mounted safeties, which may have a firing pin block (I'm not 100% sure on this), so if you have your heart set on carrying a Tokarev pistol with a loaded chamber, that is the route I would go.

As a lieutenant, I was astonished to find myself eating breakfast across the mess hall table from a Russian general one morning when I was in the 1st Ranger Battalion at Fort Stewart, Georgia, in 1978. The general was attending our War College and was an honored guest of the Fort's commanding general. He kept me there for three hours as we discussed our armies and what I did in my unit. It was a fantastic experience for me. One thing I learned was pistol qualification in the Russian Army takes place at 80 meters. The general explained the Russians consider their pistols important for fighting in the rubble of cities -- as they often did during World War II. He ended our conversation with this humorous observation: "Lieutenant, the biggest difference I've seen between my army and yours is: in my army the sergeants are skinny like you, and the officers are fat." I would like to add, NOBODY in the US Army is fat anymore. Physical fitness is a big part of service.

[@skullofserpent5727]

80 meters qualification for pistol os bullshit. 25 meters is tops. And yes, with makarov.

[@RoscoesRiffs]

@@skullofserpent5727 I know what you mean. I tried it with an issued M1911A1 when I was a range officer one day. At 80 meters the only two ways I could hit a man-size silhouette with more than half my shots were firing off a sandbag in the prone position or with both elbows on a tabletop and sighting with the pistol held at about reading distance from my eyes. I had a thousand or so rounds left over at the end of the day, so my armorer and I burned through it after everybody left. The Army won't let you turn it back in, you know. On the other hand, I don't think the general was lying. Maybe the Russians use bigger targets for qualification? 🙂

TT and particularly Yoguslavian M57 is the best tokarev in my opinion due to 9 + 1 in the chamber capacity. And TT does have a flat trajectory over a distance more than 9mm or Makarov, though I like Makarov a lot as well, and a well placed powerful TT round is enough than two or three 9mm rounds. It's due to these reasons, that my M57 is my choice for CCW and I do carry.

[@LordQuintix]

In my observation, the dichotomy is between an official's gun and a soldier's gun, both being Soviet made. The Makarov, being an official's gun, is going to be more presentable, better designed for stopping power, and be better suited to the official that wields it. The Tokarev, being a soldier's gun, was designed to be used in the field, was designed to have penetrating power, and was probably designed to be picked out of the mud and shot again like it's counterpart, the AK-47. Both weapons are really nice, but when it comes down to it, I'll take the Tokarev for it's functionality. The Makarov, on the other hand, reminds me of the PPK/S...

Makarov for me just because of the weird grip angle of the tokarev, i think the tokarev looks better but that grip angle makes me draw it low every time haha

[@gato2]

It has the old style grip angle. Good for single hand shooting.

[@bobwampler3387]

I have both, but the Makarov is my favorite.

[@franciscodelatorre7394]

Makarov por siempre , ligera , ergonomía superior , es una garantía mecánica ; por su parte la TT tiende a encasquillarse tras el uso continuado.

[@user-pf3kv4bv5s]

In other words, this is Walther PPK vs Browning M1903

In raw power the 7.62x25mm wins. BUT 9x18mm will get the job done. Sadly it's hard to find even passable expanding ammo for the Tok but there are some decent self-defense rounds for 9x18mm (such as are in my P64 on my belt right now). The Tokarev, even though a large pistol, carries quite well concealed, in my experience. It's very flat, the barrel length stabilizes it in the belt and the grip (the hardest bit to hide on a handgun) is really not any bigger than most compact pistols. I carry my Tok (Romanian) sometimes as a woods gun (wild pigs and two-legged meth snakes being of marginal but still valid concern). I've managed to obtain ONE box of Wolf Gold JHPs for it. In water jugs they still penetrate a bit much, but man do they transfer some energy.

0:42 would be nice if u used international system

[@yutakago1736]

The Tokarev TT-33 7.62 X 28 mm round can penetrate body armor. The Makarov is more compact. Both have their advantages. However, Makarov replace Tokarev because it is cheaper and double action/single action feature make it safer to carry round in chamber with hammer down.

[@ericdavis1438]

How about a 4 way, side by side, comparison (Makarov PM & CZ-82 in 9mm Makarov + Tokarev & CZ-52 in 7.62x25mm Tokarev) ??? Anyone????

[@johnrussell3755]

great review

[@mihaimihai9254]

Those guns are nice and vintage and I've tested both of them. But once you got used to carry a modern pistol it will be very difficult to use them as a daily weapon.

[@jayrod9979]

Not true. I will take a Makarov over a Glock or even the M9 Beretta. Put a few hundred plus round through a Makarov and go fire one oof those "modern" pistols and get back to me.

[@mihaimihai9254]

@@jayrod9979 I put a few THOUSANDS rounds through my Glock and I never had a shooting problem. I can't say the same thing about Makarovs I have seen. On the other hand I didn't say that Makarov's bad. I just sayd that a modern pistol is easier to be carried.

[@jayrod9979]

@@mihaimihai9254 I just dont like way a Glock feels in my hands... The M9 Beretta feels more natural to than a Glock, but my experience in the Navy was one jam/stovepipe/misfire in at least 1 in 100 shots so not much love. My Makarov has never jammed/stovepiped/misfired ect. . Obviously there are modern pistols that are superior, but it gets the job done and I would choose it over those 2. Of course a major drawback in a firefight is only having an 8 round magazine. Dropping the magazine quickly with a Makarov takes some practice but is quite doable. Im guessing the first pistol you ever fired was a Glock?

[@jayrod9979]

@@mihaimihai9254 What do you mean shooting problem with a Makarov? Like I said, never had mine(Russian version) ever have an issue and ive put some dirty ammo through it. The sights are poor on a Makarov but in a close range tactical situation you will not have time to line up your sights, no matter how good they(the sights) or you are...so that does not worry me. Glocks are known for their reliability and are no doubt accurate. I believe they are still the number one service pistol for law enforcement in the US. They just dont feel natural in my hands...

[@mihaimihai9254]

@@jayrod9979 Hi! I hope you will excuse me for my late answer. I simly haven't seen your replies. The first pistol I fired was a Romanian model 1974 named Carpatzi (Carpathians) a Romanian pistol based on Walter PPK. When I started shooting as a civilian I did it with a CZ 75 and Sig P320. People from the range where I started to shoot have told me that only Glock offers a 10 years waranty for range use. This is why I decided to bet on Glock as a personal weapon. Makarov is a great pistol for its age. It's a master piece comparing it with that Romanian 1974 Model I told you about. But it's a heavy weapon and the sights are not very easy to be seen. On the other hand 9X18 mm ammunition is quite hard to be found in my country. I like a lit Bertta m9. Bertta 92 x performance is on my short list in terms of a competition pistol purchasing, But its to havy for everyday carring. I respect Makarov but I'd never choose it as concealed carry pistol. Let's have in mind the fact that even Russians have replaced it.

[@TheSkylineGODZILLA]

Tokarev way more powerfull and still zero recoil , defently my choice , still the Makarov isnt bad.

Please next one: Beretta 92/98 vs Glock G17/ G19 or something like that. 🙄

[@t.k.326]

@Pakifag The PPSH was in 7.62x25 because it was the service pistol round at that time. It has nothing to do with that.

[@douglasthompson2740]

My Makarov is a pain to reload for as it flings brass in every direction and distance with no pattern. Spend way more time hunting brass than shooting, way more. Don't know if they all do that or it is that particular ejector. Back when there was plenty of surplus throw away ammo it was a joy to shoot.

[@ScottfromNP]

I’d take the TT33. Makarov is lighter and more compact, however the 7.62x25 round does it for me. More likely to incapacitate your target with one shot. It’s a beast of a round. The half hammer cock safety is something you can get used to.

[@mkshffr4936]

If I were to face a four legged Russian bear I would prefer the Tok. I do like the action of the Mak family though second only to a DA revolver.
