If you can find one I suggest a Czech CZ 52. The Tokarev is good but the CZ 52 is superior. For a while you could pick them up here in the US for $150- $190 with holster & extra mag in unfired condition. The only caveat is the firing pin was made of cast steel which usually broke if dry fired excessively. Lots of companies offer after market machined firing pins for a few dollars.
BTW don't let corrosive ammo scare you off. It's only a problem for people who don't clean their firearms for weeks after shooting. Hot soapy water quickly removes the corrosive salts.
I have several boxes of corrosive 8MM Mauser from the 1930s, made in Germany. Every one still goes bang, never had a misfire yet.Corrosive primers stay good for a very very long time.
The local pawn/gunshop brought in a couple pallets of Romanian TT-33s. $199 CDN, in case with 2 mags. Some re-blued, some original finish.
For the price, and considering most ammo is $.15-$.35/round, I think it will be a fun plinker for when I’m out prospecting, or berry-picking. While it’s unlikely to be super-effective against a large predator, it should be plenty loud to just shoo them away, I would think.
