I take it you mean Tokarev. Since the CZ-52s dried up your stuck with the Tokarev. I've heard they have problems with a manual safety (or lack thereof?). They are hardly moderate in power or range and would have serious problems with over penetration in an urban environment. The ammo is cheap and "ball" is generally available as milsurp or new and as most comblock weapons they will stand up to a lot of abuse without much complaint. But they can drill a hole straight through one side of the house and out the other and then continue on a ways.

PS Given a choice I'd go with a CZ-52 if I could find one, the Czechs make wonderful firearms, the Russians not so much.
